Collections

Every NFT on ArcaneFi belongs to a collection — a deployed ERC-721 smart contract registered in the NFTFactoryV2 registry on Arc.

Creating a Collection

Go to your profile and click Create Collection. Set a name, symbol (e.g. ARCA), description, cover image, and maximum token supply. ArcaneFi deploys a new ERC-721 contract to Arc and registers it in the factory. You earn +80 XP for creating a collection.

Fill in collection details

Name, symbol, description, cover image, and max supply. The symbol (e.g. ARCA) becomes the token ticker visible on Arcscan.

Confirm in your wallet

One transaction deploys your ERC-721 contract to Arc and registers it in NFTFactoryV2. Gas is paid in USDC — typically a few cents.

Start minting

Your collection appears under Profile → My Collection. Click into it to mint your first token.

NFT Metadata Format

All NFTs follow the ERC-721 metadata standard. Images and JSON are stored on IPFS. The tokenURI for each token points to an IPFS gateway URL served via Pinata.

JSON — ERC-721 Metadata

{
  "name": "My NFT #1",
  "description": "Description of this token",
  "image": "ipfs://QmHash...",
  "attributes": [
    { "trait_type": "Rarity",  "value": "Legendary" },
    { "trait_type": "Edition", "value": 1 }
  ]
}

Collection Supply

Each collection has a maxSupply set at creation. The homepage trending table shows supply as minted/max — read live from on-chain via totalSupply() and maxSupply(). Setting max supply to 0 at creation means unlimited supply.

📌

IPFS permanenceMetadata stored on IPFS is content-addressed — the same content always produces the same hash. Your NFT images and metadata remain accessible even if ArcaneFi's servers go offline, as they live independently on the IPFS network.
