Launching a drop
Every field of the drop form, uploading artwork, and how your contract is deployed.
Before you start
You need a seller account, a paired watcher and your refund bond. You can create the drop before all three are ready — checkout simply opens when they are.
Artwork
| Option | What collectors get |
|---|---|
| One image | Every edition shows your artwork. PNG, JPG, GIF (animated too) or WebP, up to 4 MB. |
| Generative style | Each piece is drawn uniquely from its buyer’s payment. Styles: Orb, Ring, Bars, Tile, Dots, Bloom, Wave, Horizon, Grid. |
| Collection (IPFS) | Every token gets its own item — image and traits — from your IPFS folder, like a PFP collection. Revealed instantly or at close. |
For a collection, see PFP collections: the folder layout, the reveal options and trading on OpenSea.
We check the file really is an image and remove its hidden metadata (location, camera details, comments) before storing it. Names, traits and the standard ERC-721 metadata are generated for you.
Seed art from payments (on by default) uses each buyer’s X Money transaction as the random seed for their piece, so nobody can choose a favourable result.
Name, price and duration
| Field | Rules |
|---|---|
| Drop name | 2–60 characters. It becomes the drop’s web address. |
| Description | Up to 1,000 characters — what collectors are getting. |
| Price | In US dollars, $1 to $100,000. Collectors pay exactly this (plus a cent or two when needed to keep amounts unique). |
| Duration | 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or until sold out. |
| Category | Art, Generative, Photography, Music, Membership or 3D. |
| Royalty | 0–10 % of every resale, written into your contract (ERC-2981) and paid to your owner wallet by marketplaces that honour it. |
Edition
| Type | Supply |
|---|---|
| Open edition | Unlimited during the sale window. |
| Limited | A fixed number between 2 and 100,000. |
| 1 of 1 | A single piece. |
Each collector can buy up to 5 editions per order; the drop’s per-person limit is 5. A collection’s edition size is its number of items: one token per item.
Delivery
- Mint on payment — each piece is minted to the collector as soon as their payment is matched.
- Pre-order · mint at close — collectors pay during the window and everything is minted when it closes. Needs a fixed duration. See pre-orders.
Contract owner
Enter a wallet address you control on Base Sepolia. You own the collection contract. Our relayer only gets a minter role, which you can revoke at any time from your wallet; as owner you can also pause minting and manage the metadata.
Deployment
Publishing creates your own contract through our factory, usually within a minute. Until then the drop page shows Deploying; checkout opens by itself when it’s done. If the deployment fails three times the drop is paused and you get a notification.
A collection is imported first: we read and check every item in your folder, and the contract deploys once all of them are in. Your sale window starts when the contract is live, so a slow import never shortens it.
Sharing your drop
Your drop lives at xnft.money/drop/your-drop-name. Share it anywhere. While it’s live, keep the watcher running and follow new payments in Studio → Orders.
Payouts
Every payment lands in your X Money the moment the collector sends it. There’s nothing to withdraw from us.
