1Connect your wallet
Xverse or Leather. Using a Ledger? Pick the Ledger account in the wallet first. The wallet that deploys becomes the owner of the collection, the only one who can mint or change it later.
2Deploy the contract
Puts your collection's contract on the blockchain (a one-time fee, usually well under 1 STX). You approve it in your wallet.
See the contract code
3Mint
Creates the NFTs and sends them to your address. Up to 200 per approval; big collections take a few rounds. Each round waits for the last to confirm.
4After minting (any time later)
Re-point to your latest edits
Edited stories or art and pressed Store on IPFS again? This points the contract at the new version.
Ask wallets to refresh
Tells Hiro, which Xverse, Leather and marketplaces read from, to re-read every piece. Use it after a re-point, or if pictures show as blank boxes.
Change the royalty
Freeze forever (optional, can't be undone)
Locks the art and stories permanently. Nobody can change them again, including you. Collectors like this because it proves the art won't change. Only do it once everything is final.
