For a random-drop series of unique 1/1s, a common approach is to upload all artworks as individual pieces, then use a randomized claim or reveal mechanism so collectors don’t know which specific piece they’ll receive at the time of minting. This preserves the excitement of the drop while ensuring that each item remains a true 1/1.

The best setup depends on your priorities:

  • If you want maximum fairness, use a provably random assignment process.
  • If you want a simple creator experience, use a platform that supports random reveals or randomized claims natively.
  • If rarity matters, make sure metadata and artwork are locked before the mint begins to maintain trust.

It would be helpful to know which platform you’re planning to use (e.g., Manifold, OpenSea, Base, Ethereum, etc.), as the recommended workflow can vary significantly between platforms.
