Pre-Minting Items

Create a Pre-mint Request​

Here are the steps to request a pre-mint of NFTs.

  1. Go to "Manage NFTs" > "Pre-Mint NFTs."
  2. Here you will see a list of all your past Pre-Mint Requests. You can click on any of them to view more details for that pre-mint. To request a pre-mint, click on "Request Pre-Mint" in the upper right.
  3. Enter the name of the pre-mint, and any relevant details in the description.
  4. Download the sample CSV, and fill it out with the relevant pre-mint details. CSV should be saved as UTF-8 if you wish to use UTF-8 characters.

  6. You can now confirm all the details of your pre-mint. The page will display in-line any errors detected in your file. Once all errors are resolved, click "Confirm" to submit the pre-mint request.

Approvals​

Pre-mint requests on Sandbox do not require any approvals. Pre-mint requests on Production will require the approval of the Open Loot Admin. Your pre-mint request will start out in the "Awaiting Approval" state, until your Open Loot Admin has reviewed the request and approved it. Once approved, the pre-mint will be completed.
