Minting

There are three services offered for Creators to apply for: Listing, Launchpad, and Auction.

Apply for Listing

Initially, Magic Eden will require the creator to verify their email, log-in (or sign up for) their accounts, and enter the Creator Hub. The website requires the creator to keep the website open when verifying their email.

Click on Create New Collection.

Choose whether you are the creator, have the license for the art, or no if you are neither of those things.

Name the collection and create the url link.

Make a brief description of the collection. Upload a profile Image for the collection.

Enable Derivative if the artwork is on other blockchains.

For Primary and secondary categories, choose whether the artwork is profile pictures (PFPs), games, art, virtual worlds, music, photography, or sports.

Creators are required to link their Twitter and Discord.

For the last step, creators need to choose either Pre-approval or Listing Now. Pre-approval will ask the creator when the minting will happen while Listing Now will require the creators’ hash list. The creators also need to indicate how many supplies are available or expecting for the collection.

Once completed, submit the application.

A series of questions need to be filled out by the NFT creator which will await for the approval for their collection. For more details, check out Magic Eden’s blog.
