How to Launch on NFTm

This guide walks a first-time creator on using the Launch Studio to a live store. Screenshots are from the real Launch Studio on NFTm.

NFTm is a marketplace for digital collectibles on Solana. Launch Studio helps you create, manage, and launch a collection in under 30 minutes. Art is stored permanently on Arweave. Mint payments go to the wallets you set. NFTm does not custody mint proceeds.

You will need a Solana wallet (Phantom or similar), enough SOL for on-chain launch (about 0.03 SOL once) plus permanent art upload (about $3 USD, paid in SOL, for a 100-image collection at roughly 300 KB per image; actual cost depends on file sizes), and your images ready (PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP). Supply must be between 2 and 25,000 items. Uploading art to Arweave makes the collection truly permanent: it does not depend on a particular hosting solution or on NFTm.

1. How to Get Started

For Collections explains the store model. Launch Studio is where you build the drop.

Open For Collections and read How to Get Listed.
Select Launch on NFTm, or go straight to /launch.
Keep this guide open in another tab while you work: /guides/launch.

2. Connect your wallet

Connect the wallet that will own the store and receive mint payments (unless you set mint fund splits).

Open Launch Studio (/launch).
Select Connect Wallet and approve the session message.
Confirm you are connected to the right Solana wallet.

3. Collection Details

Step 1 is Collection Details: Identity on the left, Economics in the middle and Buyer Summary rail on the right.

Enter the collection name and optional description.
Drop a collection logo if you have one (optional, 1 MB or smaller).
Set supply (whole number from 2 to 25,000).
Set mint price in SOL (0 is allowed for a free mint).
Set Price Lock: the maximum mint price buyers will ever see (0 to 1 SOL). Mint price cannot exceed the lock.
Set royalty % for secondary sales (default 0).
Set max mints per wallet.
Optional: Mint Fund Splits (up to 10 wallets; percents must total 100).
Choose Mint Opens now or a scheduled start; optional mint end date; optional wallet snapshot allow list.
Select Continue when the form is valid.

Note. Buyers pay your mint price plus NFTm’s platform mint fee on top: max(0.001 SOL, 1% of mint price). The rail shows all-in mint so you see what collectors pay.

4. Art Studio

Step 2 is Art Studio. You preview how first, middle, and last items look, then upload permanently to Arweave via Irys before the on-chain step.

Confirm the preview collection name matches your collection name.
Select all item images (same count as supply). Oversized files auto-compress toward 1 MB.
Optional but recommended: upload a traits spreadsheet (CSV). Download the sample traits CSV from the page (3 NFTs, 3 traits) as a template.
Review the three sample cards.
Select Upload permanently and approve the Irys payment in your wallet.
Wait until the upload shows complete, then Continue.

Warning. You cannot launch on-chain until the Arweave upload finishes. If the browser refreshes mid-upload, reopen Launch Studio and resume from the durable upload session when prompted.

5. Launch On-Chain

Step 3 reviews your store preview and runs two wallet signs to create the collection. On-chain launch is about 0.03 SOL once (collection + candy machine), not per item. Permanent art upload to Arweave is separate and paid to Irys.

Read the review and store preview.
Select Launch on NFTm and approve Create collection in your wallet.
Approve the second sign to finish the candy machine bind.
When celebration appears, open Edit your store or View store.

6. After you launch

New stores stay off home discovery for 24 hours.
Mint from your collection store; collectors see all-in mint price including the platform fee.
Brand the storefront from Page Settings (colors, banner, About, comments, fees). Open the Owner Guide from Page Settings when you need those steps.
NFTm does not mark launched collections as verified. Stores show who launched them and when.
Reports and moderation: collectors can report a store; NFTm may unlist under the published SLA.

7. Quick checklist

Wallet connected; enough SOL for ~0.03 SOL on-chain plus Irys upload.
Supply 2–25,000; mint price ≤ price lock ≤ 1 SOL.
Images ready; CSV optional but recommended; sample at /launch/nftm-launch-template.csv.
Art uploaded to Arweave before Launch On-Chain.
Two wallet approvals complete; open your store and Page Settings.
