Understanding ART20 Project Creation

This form allows you to create a new ART20 Project (Collection) on the Sui blockchain. This defines the foundational properties for your assets and mints the initial batch.

Key Parameters Explained:
  • Category: Assigns your project to an existing category for organization.
  • Name & Description: Sets the identity for your project and the individual ART20 tokens initially minted.
  • Supply (Initial & Max): 'Initial' is how many tokens are created now. 'Max' sets the total possible limit (use 0 for unlimited future minting via the 'Mint More' function, if mutable).
  • Website & Image URLs: Provide links associated with your project and a visual representation.
  • Storage Provider: Choose between Pinata (IPFS) or Walrus (Sui native).
  • Is Mutable: If checked, you (the creator) can update the collection's metadata and potentially mint more tokens later.
  • Has Deny List Authority: If checked, you gain the ability to block specific Sui addresses from interacting with your tokens.
What Happens On-Chain:

Upon successful transaction:

  • ✅ A unique Collection Cap object is created and sent to your wallet for administrative control.
  • ✅ The specified Initial Supply of individual ART20 NFT objects are minted and sent to your wallet.
  • ✅ A User Balance object is created to track your holdings.
  • ✅ Relevant blockchain events are emitted for tracking and indexing.
Important Considerations:
  • ⚠️ Immutable Collections: If you uncheck 'Is Mutable', properties cannot be changed later.
  • 💰 Transaction Costs: SUI tokens for gas fees are always required.
  • 🪙 Storage Costs: Walrus mainnet requires WAL tokens; Pinata uses existing service configuration.
  • 🔑 Ownership: You become the initial owner of all created objects.
  • 📁 Storage Duration: Pinata provides permanent IPFS storage
