NFTs & Collections — Frequently Asked Questions
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.
