How to create an NFT collection from scratch
A short walkthrough of the whole BowPad flow, from connecting your wallet to deploying a real ERC-721 contract on Robinhood Chain and minting your first NFT.
1 · Connect your wallet
MetaMask, Phantom, Rabby or any injected wallet. BowPad asks you to switch to Robinhood Chain and can add the network for you.
2 · Name and describe it
Collection name, symbol and a short description. This is the identity your contract carries on-chain forever.
3 · Supply and cover art
Pick the max supply and upload a cover image. BowPad hosts the metadata and fills the base URI for you — no IPFS needed.
4 · Traits and rarities
Add layers such as Background, Body or Eyes with weighted options. BowPad mixes them so every NFT is unique, and you can preview 8 random results before deploying.
5 · Price and royalties
Set the mint price in ETH and your royalty percentage. Mint proceeds stay in the contract you own.
6 · Deploy and mint
Sign one transaction from your wallet. You pay the gas, you own the contract, and you can mint the first NFT right away.
7 · List it on the market
Open Market · Sell, approve your collection and set a price. Buyers pay from Market · Buy and the NFT moves wallet to wallet.
Tip: try it on Robinhood Chain testnet first, then deploy on mainnet.
