How to Create an NFT Drop on WAX

Run a primary-sale drop with multi-stage rollouts, whitelists, per-wallet limits, and fair on-chain reveals.

A drop is a primary-sale mint. MintyStudio drops support multi-stage rollouts — for example a whitelist pre-sale followed by a public sale — each stage with its own price, timing, limits, and access rules.

Click + Create Drop from the Drops dashboard to open the 6-step wizard.

RAM is required first

Before buyers can mint, deposit WAX into the Drop Contract to cover RAM — storing whitelist accounts and mint-tracking records uses on-chain memory. Manage this in the RAM section.

Claiming a live drop

Collectors claim from the marketplace under Drops → MintyBlocks → Drops. They open a Live drop, choose a quantity, and click Claim Drop Now to mint.
