Studio Guide & Documentation

Create on BNB Chain

Everything you need to go from idea to a live NFT collection — collections, schemas, templates, minting and drops. No code, just a wallet.

Before you start

  • An EVM wallet

    MetaMask or any BNB Chain–compatible wallet.

  • BNB Chain network

    Add & switch to BNB Smart Chain in your wallet.

  • A little BNB

    To cover gas on deploys, mints, listings and claims.

How it works

Five steps take you from a fresh collection to a live, sellable drop. Each links to its tool — jump in anywhere.

  6. Advertise
Step 1

Create a Collection

A collection is your own smart contract on BNB Chain. Everything you build — schemas, templates and minted NFTs — lives inside it, and the deploying wallet is its owner. Open Studio and choose “New Collection” to start.

The MintyBlocks Studio dashboard
The Studio dashboard — your creator tools and every collection you own.
  1. 1

    Identity

    Set how your collection is identified on-chain and across marketplaces. Name and symbol are permanent once deployed.

    • Collection Name: The full on-chain name of the contract (e.g. “Minty Genesis”).
    • Symbol: A short ticker for the collection (e.g. “MG”).
    • Display Name & Description: The public name and summary shown on collection and marketplace pages.
  2. 2

    Standard & Royalties

    Choose the token standard and your secondary-sale royalty, paid to you on every resale.

    • Token Standard: ERC-721 for unique 1-of-1 assets, or ERC-1155 for multi-edition assets.
    • Royalty Fee: Your cut of secondary sales, capped at 10%. Set 0 for none.

    The 10% cap is enforced before deployment — higher values are rejected.

  3. 3

    Media & Socials

    Upload a logo/banner and link your brand. Socials appear on your public collection page to build trust.

  4. 4

    Review & Deploy

    Confirm every field and approve the transaction — deploying costs a small amount of BNB in gas. Your collection then appears in Studio.

    Only the owner (or wallets the owner authorizes) can create schemas, templates and mint inside a collection.

Open Studio
Step 2

Define a Schema

A schema is the attribute blueprint every NFT built on it shares. Define it once, then reuse it across many templates. Only the collection owner (or an authorized creator) can create schemas.

  1. 1

    Pick the Collection

    Choose which of your owned collections the schema belongs to, via the searchable dropdown.

  2. 2

    Name & Attributes

    Name the schema, then define its attributes — each has a name and a type. These become the fields your templates and NFTs carry.

    • Schema Name: Unique within the collection (e.g. “character”). Cannot duplicate an existing schema.
    • String: Free text — name, rarity, faction.
    • Image: An image reference (IPFS/URL) rendered as the NFT media.
    • Number (uint64): Whole numbers — stats, levels, XP.

    Up to 50 attributes per schema; each name must be non-empty and unique.

  3. 3

    Extend Later

    Schemas can be extended after creation to add new attributes as your project grows — existing templates keep working.

Create Schema
Step 3

Create a Template

Templates are reusable NFT blueprints built from a schema. Every NFT minted from a template shares its immutable data; only the mint number and any mutable fields differ. Templates decide whether an NFT can be transferred or burned.

  1. 1

    Collection & Schema

    Pick the collection, then the schema that defines this template’s attributes — the Studio cascades from your selection.

  2. 2

    Properties

    Set the on-chain rules for every NFT of this template. These flags are enforced by the contract.

    • Transferable: If OFF, NFTs are “soulbound” — they cannot be transferred, sold or listed anywhere. Ideal for badges, credentials and tickets.
    • Burnable: If ON, holders (or an approved address) can permanently destroy the NFT.
    • Max Supply: The hard cap of mints for this template. Set 0 for unlimited.

    A non-transferable template can still be burnable — burning is not a transfer, so soulbound assets can still be destroyed.

  3. 3

    Immutable Data

    Fill the schema attributes with the values shared by every mint (name, image, base stats). Written once, never changed — that’s what makes each edition identical and verifiable.

  4. 4

    Review & Deploy

    Confirm and sign. Your template is now mintable — from the Mint tool or a drop.

Create Template
Step 4

Mint NFTs

Minting creates real assets from a template and sends them to a wallet. Each mint gets its own on-chain mint number while sharing the template’s immutable data.

The Mint NFTs tool
Mint NFTs — pick a collection, then a schema, then a template. Every dropdown is searchable.
  1. 1

    Collection → Schema → Template

    The tool cascades: select a collection, then a schema, then a template. All three dropdowns are searchable.

  2. 2

    Recipient & Attributes

    Enter the wallet that will receive the NFT(s) — mint to yourself or airdrop to anyone. Minting is capped by the template’s max supply.

    • Recipient: Any BNB Chain address — your own wallet or a collector’s.
    • Mutable Attributes: Optional per-NFT values (e.g. a starting level) you can update later, unlike immutable template data.
  3. 3

    Confirm

    Approve the transaction. The NFT appears in the recipient’s Profile and can be listed on the marketplace if the template is transferable.

Mint NFTs
Step 5

Launch a Drop

A drop is a timed, public mint. You pick a template; collectors claim from it directly, paying your price. Payments (minus a small platform fee) go to your chosen recipient wallet.

The Drop Launchpad
The Drop Launchpad — manage live, upcoming and sold-out drops in one place.
  1. 1

    Collection & Template

    Choose the collection and the template collectors will mint. The Studio checks the template exists so a drop can’t go live pointing at a missing one.

  2. 2

    Price & Payment

    Set the claim price and who gets paid.

    • Price: Amount per claim, in BNB or USDT. Set 0 for a free drop.
    • Price Recipient: The wallet that receives claim payments (defaults to you).
    • Referral Fee: Optional percentage paid to referrers who bring claimers.
  3. 3

    Supply & Limits

    Control scarcity and fairness with global and per-wallet caps.

    • Max Claimable: Total number of NFTs the drop can hand out.
    • Per-Account Limit: How many a single wallet may claim (0 = unlimited).
    • Cooldown: Optional wait time between claims from the same wallet.
  4. 4

    Schedule & Deploy

    Set the start and end time (start before end), review, and sign. Your drop appears on the public Drops feed where anyone can claim — connecting a wallet only at the Claim step.

    You can edit price, supply and timing after launch from the drop’s detail page.

Launch a Drop
Step 6

Advertise on MintyBlocks

Put your collection, drop or project in front of everyone who lands on the MintyBlocks homepage. The homepage runs two banner slots that rotate; you book a slot for a time window, pay in USDT, and your banner goes live automatically for the range you paid for. The whole thing is self-serve from the Advertise page — no email, no waiting on a sales team. This is how the flow works end to end.

  1. 1

    Connect your wallet

    Open the Advertise page and connect the wallet you want to pay and manage the ad from. Until a wallet is connected you'll see a Connect Wallet card instead of the form — the same wallet is used to pay in USDT and to list your active and upcoming banners.

  2. 2

    Design the banner

    Upload your creative and add the title, a short description, and the click-through link people go to when they tap it. Static images (JPG/PNG/WebP up to 2MB), GIFs (up to 4MB) and short videos (MP4/WebM, up to 8MB and 20s) are all supported.

    • Crop: Static images open a cropper so you can frame the banner to the exact 696×402 slot before it uploads — what you crop is what shows on the homepage.
    • Link: Must be a full http(s) URL. This is where a click sends the visitor, so point it at your collection, drop or site.
  3. 3

    Pick a time window

    Choose a start and end time. Ads are priced per time period (a fixed slot length), so the duration you pick must be a whole number of periods — the form tells you the minimum and rounds you to valid windows. The start can't be in the past.

  4. 4

    Choose an available slot

    The homepage has two slots. Once your dates are valid the form checks availability and shows which slots are free for that exact window. A slot that's already booked for an overlapping range is marked Booked and can't be selected — pick the other slot, or shift your window until a slot opens.

    Availability is per time range: a slot booked for next week is still free for you today. The check re-runs whenever you change the dates.

  5. 5

    Pay in USDT

    Review the total — it's the number of periods × the per-period price, shown before you commit — and confirm the USDT transfer in your wallet. Payment is a normal on-chain BEP-20 transfer to the MintyBlocks receiver; you pay the network gas as usual.

  6. 6

    Automatic verification & publishing

    There's no manual approval step. After you pay, MintyBlocks verifies the USDT transfer on-chain — it checks the amount, the receiver and that the payment hasn't already been used — and re-confirms your slot is still free. Once that passes, the ad is recorded and published automatically: it goes live at your start time, rotates with the other slot while it runs, and expires at your end time.

    Your active, upcoming and past banners are all listed on the Advertise page, so you can see status at a glance.

Selling & the marketplace

Once minted, transferable NFTs can be listed on the marketplace at a fixed price in BNB or USDT. Buyers browse and purchase freely; a wallet is only needed at checkout. Soulbound (non-transferable) assets can’t be listed — that’s enforced on-chain.

The MintyBlocks marketplace
The marketplace — public browsing; collectors connect a wallet only to buy.

Frequently asked

Do I need to sign in to browse?

Yes. Sign in to browse MintyBlocks. You also connect a wallet when you take an on-chain action — buy, list, mint, claim — or open Profile and Studio.

What is a “soulbound” NFT?

An NFT from a template with Transferable turned OFF. It cannot be transferred, sold or listed — the rule is enforced by the contract. Use it for non-transferable badges, credentials or tickets.

Can I change a template after minting?

Immutable data is permanent by design. You can update an NFT’s mutable attributes, and extend a schema with new attributes for future templates.

Who can create inside my collection?

Only the owner wallet, plus any addresses the owner authorizes. Schemas, templates and minting are all owner-gated.
