How to launch editions

Jul 17, 20267 min read

An edition is the simplest thing you can launch on Bullet: one artwork, minted as many copies, each one a full LiquidCollectible with a real market behind it. No contracts to write, no metadata folders to prepare — if you have the artwork, you can be live in about ten minutes.

Before you start

  • A wallet with ETH on the Robinhood chain — you pay gas for one deploy transaction (plus one per whitelist phase, if you add any).
  • Your artwork — PNG, JPG, GIF, or WEBP. Animated GIFs are fully supported and play everywhere on the site; the banner on this page is a live GIF from the HERESY collection.
  • Optionally, your X account — connecting it in the form verifies you as the creator, and your pfp and handle appear as the creator credit instead of a bare wallet address.

Everything happens from Studio under Launch. The wizard saves a draft as you go, so you can leave and come back without losing anything.

Step 1 — Identity

Cosmetics first: this is everything buyers see before they look at a single number.

The Identity step of the launch wizard: icon, name, ticker, description, royalty address, with a live preview on the right
The Identity step. The right rail previews your collection card as you type.
COVER + ICONThe cover is the wide banner on your collection page (aim for 1920×1080 or larger); the icon is the square thumbnail used everywhere else. Both are pinned to IPFS the moment you pick them.
NAME + TICKERThe ticker auto-derives from the name; you can override it. It has to be unique on Bullet — the field checks availability as you type.
CREATOR IDENTITYConnect X to verify yourself. Your handle becomes the creator credit on the collection and can't be typed in free-form — that's what makes it trustworthy.
ROYALTY ADDRESSWhere on-chain royalties are sent. Defaults to your connected wallet.

Step 2 — Artwork

Pick Editions, upload the piece, and decide how many copies exist. That number becomes your total supply — anywhere from 100 to 10,000.

SCARCITY IS THE KNOB

Every copy shows the same art, so supply is your main creative decision. 100 copies is a tight, collectible run; 10,000 is a community-scale drop. There's no changing it after launch — supply is fixed on-chain.

Step 3 — Economics

Three knobs decide what the launch raises and how it's split:

  • Mint price — what buyers pay per copy, in ETH.
  • Reserved for creator — up to 30 copies minted straight to your wallet for free, before the public sale.
  • LP seed target (50–100%) — the share of your mint that seeds the collection's liquidity pool. Higher means a deeper market and a stronger floor for your holders; lower means more mint revenue in your pocket. The pool is what makes editions instantly tradable — see how mints work for the buyer's view of this.

There's also the tokens-per-NFT ratio. The standard preset (10,000 tokens per copy) is right for almost everyone; it controls how finely each edition can be fractionalized when trading. Leave it on Standard unless you have a specific reason not to.

Step 4 — Schedule

  • Mint opens — pick the start time. It must be at least a couple of hours out; that window is when the BULLET whitelist auction runs before your mint.
  • Early access phases — up to five whitelist phases before the public mint. Paste wallet addresses into each phase and set a per-wallet allowance. The editor shows your phase-1 spot budget live so you can't promise more than the supply allows.
  • Durations and limits — each phase runs 15–60 minutes, the public window up to 24 hours, and buyers are capped at a per-transaction max you choose.

Don't overthink phases for a first drop — a single phase for your community plus the public window is a perfectly good schedule. You can also grant more whitelist spots after launch from the Studio, so the list doesn't need to be final today.

Step 5 — Review and launch

The review step shows everything in one place. When you hit Launch, the sequencer takes over and walks through the steps on-screen:

  • You sign a message that reserves your ticker while the launch is in flight.
  • Your icon, cover, artwork, and metadata are pinned to IPFS — permanent, not on our servers.
  • One transaction deploys the contract, configures the mint, and initializes the liquidity pool atomically. This is the only required on-chain step.
  • If you added whitelist phases, one small transaction per phase grants the spots.
IF SOMETHING INTERRUPTS

The launch is resumable. Every completed step is saved, so if your connection drops or you close the tab mid-launch, coming back and hitting Launch again picks up exactly where it stopped — it will never redeploy or double-grant.

After launch

  • Your mint page goes live at its own URL — share it directly; it unfurls with your artwork on socials automatically.
  • The Studio is your command surface from here: edit the description and links, grant more whitelist spots, and watch mint progress.
  • When the mint completes, trading opens against the pool you seeded — every copy has a live floor from minute one.
