NFT Drop

Deploy NFT Drop

Overview​

NFT Drop enables users to release a collection of unique NFTs using the ERC721A standard. NFT Drop uses a “drop” mechanism intended for large collections to distribute NFTs. The NFT Drop can be deployed via the dashboard, CLI, or SDKs.

NFT Drop vs NFT Collection

NFT Drop differs from NFT Collection in that it allows users to lazy-mint the NFT directly to their wallet. This eliminates the need to mint the NFT to the creator's wallet and then transfer the asset to another user’s wallet.

Use Cases​

  • Create restricted-access NFTs which can only be claimed by a specified allowlist of wallets
  • Create large collections of unique NFT profile pics with each NFT corresponding to unique metadata or traits
  • Create NFTs of artwork intended for distribution

  4. Set fund distribution recipients for Primary Sales and Secondary Sales by passing in the corresponding wallet addresses you want to receive the funds.

    1. Primary Sales - The initial recipient will receive any funds from sales made upon initially minting the NFT.

    2. Royalties / Secondary Sales - The recipient that will receive funds from any secondary sales or re-sales of the NFT.

    3. (Optional) Platform fees - Recipient that will receive additional fees for all primary sales that happen on this contract. (This is useful if you are deploying this contract for a 3rd party and want to take fees for your service).

    npx thirdweb deploy -n --name nft-drop

  2. Follow the prompts to fill out your contract by following the Deploy NFT Drop (Dashboard) section.

Deploy NFT Drop (SDK)​

TypeScript

const txResult = await sdk.deployer.deployBuiltInContract("nft-drop", {
  name: "<your_contract_name>",
  primary_sale_recipient: "<wallet_address>",
});

Python

from thirdweb.types.settings.metadata import NFTDropContractMetadata

metadata = NFTDropContractMetadata(
    name="<your_contract_name>",
    primary_sale_recipient="<wallet_address>",
    seller_fee_basis_points=500, # 5% royalty fee
    fee_recipient="<wallet_address>",
    platform_fee_basis_points=10, # 0.1% platform fee
    platform_fee_recipient="<wallet_address>",
)

sdk.deployer.deploy_nft_drop(metadata)

Go

address, err := sdk.Deployer.DeployNFTDrop(
     context.Background(),
        &thirdweb.DeployNFTDropMetadata{
            Name: "<your_contract_name>",
        }
    })

React Native

const sdk = useSDK(sdk.deployer.deployBuiltInContract("nft-drop", {
  name: "<your_contract_name>",
  primary_sale_recipient: "<wallet_address>",
});)
