How to Create NFT Templates on WAX
Templates are blueprints for your NFTs — lock shared attributes once, then mint identical tokens from them.
A template is a blueprint for a final NFT. Instead of re-entering identical metadata for each token, you lock standard attributes in a template and every NFT minted from it inherits those details automatically.
Key settings: Max Supply (the absolute cap — 0 or blank for unlimited), Transferable (turn off for soulbound tokens), and Burnable (whether owners can destroy the NFT — required for crafting/blends).
Step by step
- 1
Open the template wizard
From the collection Templates tab (or a specific schema’s detail view), click + New Template.
- 2
Schema & supply
Confirm the schema and set the Max Supply limit (0 or blank for unlimited).
- 3
Properties
Set Transferable and Burnable. Disabling Transferable makes NFTs soulbound to the minting wallet; disabling Burnable prevents them from being destroyed.

Attributes
Fill in the schema attribute values (name, image hash, description, etc.). You can upload a new image directly to IPFS.
- 5
Review & create
Verify supply, toggles, and metadata, then click Create Template to deploy it on-chain.
Minting and locking
A new template starts unlocked — mint NFTs from it (open the template and click Mint NFT, then enter the recipient WAX account). When you Lock the template on-chain, no more NFTs can ever be minted from it, freezing its final supply.
