Series Collections
We’re thrilled this week to launch Series collections — NFT projects with unique metadata and media for every token. Our no-code flow makes launching this complex creation more effortless than ever.
Series collections provide a range of exciting mint mechanics, customization options, and other benefits that are true to our mission of arming web3 creators with the best and easiest tooling in existence.
Creating a Series collection on Highlight comes with three possible mint styles:
Collector’s choice: Collectors can see all tokens and choose which token they want to mint
Random mint (hidden metadata): hide all the potential variations in your collection until it mints out. Collectors will receive a random token (using our independently verifiable randomization algorithm) revealed after they mint.
Random mint (visible metadata): show collectors all possible variations, but have their mint chosen randomly.
All three mint styles come with the following:
100% creator-owned smart contracts
Decentralized metadata storage using arweave
Beautiful drop pages and embeds
Easy interoperability with the web3 ecosystem
Complete control over your mint:
Controls to schedule and pause
Pricing and distribution mechanics
Tools to manage early access through our world-class pre-mint and token-gating flows
See for yourself: find the flow in our creator toolkit under Collections > Create. You can also explore a Series mint page or custom embed, or see our docs for more details.
Other Improvements
Here’s what else we shipped since last week:
We now show your collection description on the review screen before deploy
We now point to arweave on mint pages for Series (beta versions did not, even though we were still using arweave for file storage)
Better time zone display for sale start and end dates
End dates for scheduled mints are now optional
The ability to edit your creator royalties after collection deployment (previously, this was only possible before deployment)
Limits on overly broad collection imports, e.g. the OpenSea shared contract, which improves performance for all creators
Fixed a bug that wasn’t rendering mint buttons correctly in certain contexts
Fixed an issue with email gates not working from a collection embed
Fixed a display bug that was impacting projects with mp3 media
