I’m planning to mint a collection with about fifty tickets. The concept is that all tickets should be visible at once—they have the same artwork, but there will be four categories among these 50 tickets. So, after purchase, I want to be able to update the artwork for different categories. I’ve done a single artwork replacement on Manifold for an edition before, but I’ve never set up an entire collection like this. Will it be visible on OpenSea right away before people start minting? How does it work when it’s a full collection?
If I understand correctly, should this be done in the Series (Multiple) section?
This will be a raffle for tickets to participate in the drawing of my physical prints and paintings, with a total of 50 tickets available. Initially, each ticket will display a placeholder image (like a face-down card). Collectors will be able to purchase one or more cards.
The chances of winning increase based on the number of cards purchased. If a collector buys one ticket, I’ll update the metadata with image #1; if they buy two, I’ll update two tickets with image #2; and if they buy three or more, I’ll apply image #3 to all their tickets.
It’s important to me that all 50 images are initially visible at once, as you usually can see with a collection on OpenSea, FND, or SR. Then, after a collector purchases a ticket, I would be able to update the metadata to reflect a new image based on the number of tickets purchased.
How are you looking to distribute the 50 tickets? Basically there are two ways you can distribute tickets - minting a token to yourself and then listing them for sale, or creating a mint page where collectors can purchase a piece.
It’s possible to sell 50 tickets with the claim page and update the metadata continuously, but this will be a manual process. It might make sense to try it out with a few tokens in your testnet workspace in studio.
These tickets should be listed as a regular NFT collection for sale—all 50 at once.
Just like I usually do on Foundation, I first create a collection and then mint and list the images in it. Following the same method.
Once all 50 ticket images are in the collection, I will inform collectors about the opportunity to purchase them. Then, for each purchased ticket, I’ll update the metadata.
Any update regarding this question?
