Blend — Frequently Asked Questions
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.
