Frequently Asked Questions
Minting
What is minting on MintyBlocks?
Minting is the process of converting your digital file into an NFT stored on the blockchain. When you mint, a new token is created with a unique ID, metadata, and ownership record. MintyBlocks handles all smart contract interactions securely on the WAX Chain.
How does minting work technically?
When you mint an NFT, MintyBlocks uploads your asset to IPFS, generates metadata JSON, and calls the smart contract mint function. The blockchain assigns a unique token ID and records your wallet address as owner. The metadata remains permanently accessible via decentralized storage.
Do I need coding knowledge to mint NFT?
No. MintyBlocks provides a fully no-code minting interface where you simply upload your file, fill out metadata, and confirm the transaction. For advanced users, custom contract minting and bulk metadata uploads are supported.
What fees do I pay during minting?
On the WAX Blockchain, you only pay the standard WAX network resources (CPU, NET, and RAM) required for minting an NFT. MintyBlocks does not charge any additional minting fees. If lazy minting is enabled, the NFT is minted only when purchased, and the buyer covers the blockchain resource costs at the time of purchase.
Can I mint multiple NFTs at once?
Yes, using the bulk minting tool you can upload multiple files or a complete metadata folder. Bulk minting is ideal for thousands of assets and generative collections where metadata is pre-prepared.
Schema
What is an NFT metadata schema?
A metadata schema defines the structure and rules for how your NFT information is stored and displayed. It includes attributes such as name, description, image URL, external link, properties, levels, stats, and unlockable content. Consistent schema ensures that your NFTs display correctly across marketplaces and wallets.
Why is schema important for my NFT collection?
A well-defined schema ensures your NFTs remain compatible with major marketplaces, analytics tools, and wallets. It also helps in filtering traits, verifying rarity, maintaining standardization across large collections, and avoiding broken metadata issues after minting.
Can I update my schema after minting?
Once an NFT is minted and metadata is stored on-chain or on IPFS, you generally cannot change immutable attributes. However, if your NFT uses a dynamic or updatable metadata system (via a reveal mechanism or external API), certain fields like image, traits, or stats can be updated depending on your contract design.
What are traits, attributes, and properties in schema?
Traits or properties are descriptive characteristics that define each NFT in a collection. Examples include background color, accessories, rarity levels, or character types. These traits help users filter NFTs and determine their rarity ranking, which greatly influences value and demand.
Creator Tools & Royalties
How do royalties work?
Royalties are a percentage of each resale that goes to the original creator. Set your royalty rate (0-15%) when minting. You'll automatically receive royalties whenever your NFT is resold.
What analytics are available for creators?
Track your collection's floor price, trading volume, unique holders, total sales, and royalty earnings. View detailed charts and export data from your creator dashboard.
How do I promote my NFT collection?
Share on social media, engage with the community, apply for featured collections, collaborate with other creators, and participate in MintyBlocks events and campaigns.
NFTs & Collections
How do I mint an NFT?
In MintyStudio, NFTs are minted from a Template, so you first need a Collection, a Schema, and a Template set up under your account. Navigate to Collections → [Your Collection] → Templates → [Template] and click the ✦ Mint NFT button, which is only visible if your WAX wallet is the collection author or an authorized minter. In the modal, enter the recipient WAX account and the amount to mint, then confirm to sign and broadcast the mintasset transaction on-chain. If you want users to mint NFTs themselves without manual intervention, set up a Drop instead — it lets buyers mint on-demand through a primary sale stage.
What file formats are supported?
We support JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, MP4, WEBM, MP3, WAV, OGG, and GLB/GLTF formats. Maximum file size is 100MB for images and 1GB for videos.
What are NFT collections?
Collections are groups of related NFTs created by the same artist or project. Creating a collection allows you to organize your work and build your brand on MintyBlocks.
Can I edit my NFT after minting?
Once minted on the blockchain, the NFT metadata is immutable. However, you can update the listing price, description, and other marketplace-specific details.
How do I create a collection?
To create a collection in MintyStudio, navigate to Collections → Create Collection and complete the 5-step wizard: enter a unique 12-character collection name (lowercase a-z, 1-5 only), a display name, description, market fee (up to 15%), and optional social links. In Step 3, upload a collection image and banner (either as a file or IPFS CID — both are required). Step 4 lets you manage authorized accounts and toggle which MintyBlocks contracts (Drop, Blend, Pack) are allowed to mint from your collection. Once you review and submit, the createcol transaction is signed on-chain and your collection is live and ready for schemas and templates.
Can I mint multiple editions of the same NFT?
Yes! During minting, you can specify the number of editions. Each edition will be a unique token with the same artwork but different asset IDs.
Buying & Selling
How do I buy an NFT?
Browse the Marketplace and search for NFTs that interest you. Select an NFT to view its details, then click "Buy Now" to complete the purchase. Make sure your WAX wallet has enough WAX to cover the NFT price and any required blockchain resource costs (CPU, NET, or RAM) associated with the transaction.
What payment methods are accepted?
All transactions are conducted in WAX on the WAX Chain. Make sure you have enough WAX in your connected wallet to complete purchases.
How do I list my NFT for sale?
Go to your profile, select the NFT you want to sell, click 'List for Sale', choose between fixed price, set your price, and confirm. Your NFT will appear in the marketplace.
What are marketplace fees?
MintyBlocks charges a service fee on all secondary sales. Creators can set royalties up to 15% which they earn on every resale of their work.
Can I bundle multiple NFTs together?
Yes! Create a bundle from your profile by selecting multiple NFTs you own and setting a bundle price. Buyers receive all NFTs in one transaction.
Technical Support
My transaction failed. What should I do?
If your transaction is failing, first make sure your WAX wallet has sufficient resources (CPU, NET, and RAM) to process the transaction. Verify that your wallet is properly connected to the WAX Blockchain. During periods of high network activity, you may need to stake additional WAX resources or wait until network congestion decreases. If the problem continues, please contact support and provide the transaction details or error message for further assistance.
How long do transactions take?
WAX Chain transactions typically complete within 3-5 seconds. During high network activity, it may take up to 1-2 minutes. You can track your transaction on https://testnet.waxblock.io/.
I can't see my NFT after purchase
It may take a few moments for your NFT to appear. Refresh the page and check your wallet. If it's been more than 5 minutes, verify the transaction on https://testnet.waxblock.io/ using your wallet address.
How do I contact support?
Visit our Contact Us page, join our Discord community, or email support@mintyblocks.com. We typically respond within 24 hours during business days.
Why is my wallet not connecting?
Ensure you're using a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave). Check that your wallet extension is installed and unlocked. Make sure you're connected to WAX Chain network, not Ethereum mainnet.
Can I cancel a transaction after submitting?
Transactions on the WAX Blockchain are generally processed within seconds and, once submitted and confirmed, cannot be cancelled or reversed. If a transaction is delayed or remains unconfirmed, check your wallet's transaction history and ensure you have sufficient CPU, NET, and RAM resources available. If the transaction does not complete or you encounter issues, contact your wallet provider or support team for assistance.
Why can't I see certain NFTs in my wallet?
If you can't see an NFT in your wallet, it may still be processing on the WAX Blockchain or your wallet may need to be refreshed. Also, verify that you're connected to the correct WAX account and that the NFT hasn't been transferred or burned.
Drop
What is an NFT drop on MintyBlocks?
An NFT drop is a scheduled release of NFTs where users can mint within a specific time window. Drops help creators build hype, manage supply, implement whitelist systems, control mint limits, and provide fair access to collectors.
How do I create a drop?
To create a drop in MintyStudio, navigate to Drops → Create Drop and follow the 6-step wizard where you select your NFT templates, set a display name and image, configure supply limits, and define one or more timed sales stages with pricing and claim restrictions. Each stage can have its own price, currency, time window, per-wallet limits, and optional whitelist rules for phased rollouts like pre-sales and public sales. Before your drop goes live, deposit WAX into the Drop Contract via the RAM Manager to cover the on-chain memory costs for whitelist entries and mint tracking. Once deployed, buyers can find and claim your drop from the Drops → MintyBlocks → Drops marketplace by selecting a quantity and clicking Claim Drop Now.
What is a whitelist drop?
A whitelist drop restricts minting to approved wallet addresses during an early-access phase. This helps reward loyal communities, prevent bot minting, and ensure fair distribution.manually add wallet addresses or set NFT Ownership Rules that require claimers to already hold specific assets at the time of minting. .
Can I delete or edit a drop after publishing?
Yes — you can edit a published drop from Drops → [Your Drop] → Edit, where you can update the name, image, supply, stages, pricing, and whitelist entries (note: the collection and template IDs are immutable once set). You can also permanently delete a drop from the Drops list or the drop detail page using the Delete button, though this action is irreversible.
Security & Safety
Is my NFT safe on MintyBlocks?
Yes. All NFTs are secured by blockchain technology. Your NFTs are stored in your wallet, not on our servers. Only you control your assets through your private keys.
How do I protect my wallet?
Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone. Enable two-factor authentication in your wallet. Be cautious of phishing attempts. Always verify you're on the official MintyBlocks website.
What if I suspect fraudulent activity?
Report suspicious listings or users immediately through our 'Report' feature. Our team reviews all reports and takes action against violators. We also recommend checking creator verification badges.
How can I verify an NFT's authenticity?
Check the creator's profile for verification badge, review transaction history on https://testnet.waxblock.io/ , verify contract address, and look for official social media links in the collection description.
What should I do if I receive a suspicious NFT?
Do not interact with unknown NFTs sent to your wallet. They may be spam or attempts to drain your wallet. You can hide them in your wallet interface or report them to us.

Template
What are MintyBlocks templates?
Templates are pre-built structures for creating collections, drops,Blend or NFTs without writing code. Templates help creators quickly launch their NFT projects by providing ready-made layouts for metadata, minting settings, royalty structure, whitelist system, and drop mechanics.
Can I customize a template?
Yes, all templates can be fully customized. You can modify metadata fields, images, rarity settings, mint price, mint supply, drop schedule, and even smart contract configurations depending on your project needs.
How do templates simplify the NFT creation process?
Templates eliminate the need to manually configure each metadata element or drop setting. Instead, you choose a structured blueprint and only replace essential information such as images, name, description, and traits. This saves time, reduces errors, and ensures consistency across your collection.
Can I delete a template after creating it?
Yes, templates can be removed at any time from your dashboard. Deleting a template will not affect any NFTs already minted using that template. Only the blueprint is deleted, not the minted items.
Do templates support dynamic metadata?
Yes, certain advanced templates support dynamic metadata updates such as reveal mechanics, evolving traits, level-up systems, or real-time data from APIs. These templates are built with smart contract flexibility to allow upgrades after minting.
Blend
What is a Blend on MintyBlocks?
A Blend is an interactive crafting mechanism where users burn or lock specific NFTs (ingredients) in exchange for a newly minted or transferred NFT (output). Creators define the recipe — what goes in and what comes out — and users execute it on-chain through the MintyBlocks Blends marketplace.
What types of ingredients can I require in a Blend?
MintyBlocks supports multiple ingredient types: a specific NFT template (burn or transfer), any NFT from a specific schema, any NFT from a specific collection, or a token fee payment (e.g. WAX or MINTY). You can mix multiple ingredient requirements together in a single blend recipe using the Add Ingredient option.
What can a Blend output be?
A blend output can either mint a brand new NFT from a specified template directly to the user, or transfer a pre-existing NFT from a creator pool to the claimer. Note that blends using the transfer option are locked and cannot be edited after creation.
Can I restrict who can use my Blend?
Yes. In the Whitelist & Rules step of the blend creation wizard, you can add specific WAX account addresses that are authorized to execute the recipe, and set NFT ownership rules that require claimers to hold certain assets at the time of blending. You can also set a cooldown in seconds to limit how frequently a single user can execute the blend.
Do I need WAX RAM to run a Blend?
Yes. Before users can execute your blend recipe, you must deposit WAX into the Blend Contract via the MintyStudio RAM Manager to cover on-chain memory costs. Storing blend recipes and tracking execution records requires RAM allocation, and insufficient RAM will prevent the blend from functioning.
RAM
What is RAM and why do I need it on MintyBlocks?
On the WAX blockchain, contract state storage is backed by physical RAM memory. In MintyStudio, when you create a drop, blend recipe, or whitelist, the smart contract needs RAM to store that data on-chain. Without a sufficient RAM deposit, your drops and blends will not function and users will not be able to claim or execute them.
How do I deposit RAM for my contracts?
Navigate to MintyStudio → RAM Deposits, select the contract tab (Drop or Blend), enter the amount in WAX or Bytes, and click Deposit RAM. Your WAX is transferred to the contract with a 'ramdeposit' memo, and the contract automatically buys the equivalent RAM on the blockchain for your account. You can use the Max button to deposit your full available wallet balance.
How much RAM does each user claim consume?
Each claim or blend execution deducts a fixed amount of RAM from your deposited contract balance, which is set by the contract's Cost Per Claim configuration (default is 512 bytes per claim). This covers the on-chain storage required to track claim counts and update smart contract state for each user interaction.
How do I withdraw my RAM back to my wallet?
Go to MintyStudio → RAM Deposits, select the contract tab, enter the number of bytes (or estimated WAX value) you want to withdraw, and click Withdraw RAM. The contract sells the RAM back to the WAX system and refunds the equivalent WAX directly to your wallet. You cannot withdraw more than your current deposited balance.
Are RAM deposits shared across Drop, Blend, and Pack contracts?
No. RAM deposits are managed separately for each contract — Drop, Blend, and Pack each have their own independent RAM balance. You must deposit RAM into each contract individually depending on which features you are using. The Pack contract RAM management is currently coming soon.
