Selling Tokens
Selling Tokens
Deploying your own sovereign contract allows creators to list tokens for sale in two ways:
Minting tokens to your own wallet and then listing for sale
Establishing a mint page for collectors to mint from and then collectors minting the tokens themselves
1. Minting tokens yourself â Then listing for sale
Highlights
Tokens are created(minted) before being listed for sale
Creators pay gas fees to mint the tokens and the gas fees to list on a platform of choice
The first option for selling your tokens is pre-minting the tokens. Here you will beminting tokens to yourself and covering the gas fees. After the tokens have been minted and exist on the blockchain, the tokens can then be listed on sale on a supporting platforms or something like our Manifold Gallery app.
Pre-minting tokens is typically done for smaller scale drops.
Examples:
ðïļ Selling with an Auction House - Mint on your own contract, list for sale with an auctioneer
ð Selling on a Platform - Mint on your own contract, list for sale on a platform of your choice
ðĨ Ranked Auctions - Create a Ranked Auction
ðžïļ Auction Pages - Deploy an Auction page for ERC721 tokens with Manifold Gallery!
2. Creating mint page â Collectors minting themselves
Highlights
Tokens are not created(minted) until a collector mints from a page
Collectors pay gas fees to mint the tokens
The other option to sell tokens is by using a mint page. Deploying a mint page allows you to create rules for the sale of tokens that haven't been created yet. The tokens aren't created on chain until your collectors pay to mint a token from this page. A tool that utilizes this functionality is our Claim App.
A common question we get is - Can a claim page can be used for pre-minted tokens? This isn't possible as the claim page is used to sell/distribute tokens that haven't been minted yet.
Examples:
ðĨ Burn to Redeem - Deploy a mint page collectors to burn/redeem tokens with BurnRedeem.
âģ Open Editions - Deploy mint pages with our Claims tool
