Manifold allows you to sell tokens in two ways:
1. Mint tokens to your own wallet and list them for sale
2. Creating a page for collectors to collect your work
Minting tokens to yourself and then listing for sale
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.
This includes creation flows like:
- 1 of 1's
- Batch Mints
- Edition Mints
In addition to using Manifold Gallery to list your work for sale, you are able to list the token for sale/auction on whatever platform you like. Some common examples include:
Marketplace | Integration | Process |
Opensea | Automatic | Mint tokens to your own wallet and then list it for sale on Opensea |
Rarible | Automatic | Mint tokens to your own wallet and then list it for sale on Rarible |
Looksrare | Automatic | Mint tokens to your own wallet and then list it for sale on Looksrare |
Coinbase | Automatic | Mint tokens to your own wallet and then list it for sale on Coinbase |
Foundation | Automatic | Mint tokens to your own wallet and then list it for sale on Foundation |
SuperRare | Upon Request | If you have a SR creator account you can request for your contract to be ingested. |
Nifty Gateway | Upon Request | After being accepted to the platform, work with your producer to mint to the NG omnibus. NG requires a new contract for each drop. |
Christie's | Upon Request | Mint tokens to self and work with Christie's to facilitate the auction |
Sothebys | Upon Request | Mint tokens to self and work with Sotheby's to facilitate the auction |
Creating a mint page
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.
This includes Create flows like:
- Claim Pages
- Burn & Redeem Pages
