Basics
What is 1/1/X Mint Factory?
It is a creator workflow for setting up a Manifold ERC-721 collection, adding a mint wrapper, configuring sale phases, and launching either a hosted mint page or a widget for your own site.
What can I do from Home?
Home shows your wallet profile, recent activity, follow suggestions, and your mints. Your mint view can switch between My Creations and My Curations, then filter those drops by Live, Coming Up, or Completed.
What is a wrapper?
Think of the Manifold collection contract as the artwork container, and the wrapper as the mint packaging around it. The wrapper handles sale rules, allow lists, limits, payment routing, metadata assignment, and admin controls while minting tokens into the Manifold collection.
What Manifold contract does this use?
1/1/X Mint Factory is designed around the standard Manifold ERC-721 Creator Core contract. When you import an existing contract, 1/1/X Mint Factory verifies that it matches the expected Manifold contract type and that your connected wallet owns it before you continue.
Is everything audited?
The base collection flow uses the standard audited Manifold ERC-721 contract. The wrapper is separate 1/1/X mint logic, so 1/1/X Mint Factory displays wrapper source verification separately from the Manifold collection contract.
Should I use an existing contract or create a new one?
Use an existing contract if you already created the collection in Manifold and your connected wallet owns it. Create a new one if this drop needs a fresh ERC-721 collection contract before the wrapper is deployed.
Wallets & Ownership
Which wallet owns the collection and wrapper?
The connected wallet is treated as the owner wallet for creation and admin actions. It owns newly created collection contracts, controls the wrapper admin settings, and can run owner-only actions like phase edits, allow-list updates, pausing, metadata updates, and withdrawals.
What is the treasury wallet?
The treasury wallet is where creator mint funds are withdrawn. 1/1/X Mint Factory uses the connected wallet by default, and the Admin panel includes a treasury update control for changes after launch.
Why do I connect wallet and then sign a message?
Wallet connect gives the site your public wallet address. The message signature is a separate gas-free login step that proves the wallet belongs to you so 1/1/X Mint Factory can load your drafts, creations, profile, follows, and admin tools across devices. Safe wallets use standard EIP-1271 contract-signature checks.
Does Rabby mobile browser work?
Yes. On Rabby mobile, the first approval is the no-gas wallet connection. After that, the button changes to Sign Message and opens the gas-free profile/session signature prompt. If a prompt does not appear, reopen the Rabby browser tab and tap the button again.
Which wallets are supported?
1/1/X Mint Factory supports injected EVM wallets such as MetaMask and Rabby, hardware wallets connected through those wallets, and Safe when opened as a Safe App. Ownership and admin checks use the connected address, so a Safe-owned wrapper is managed from the Safe address.
What happens if I lose access to the owner wallet?
You may lose the ability to administer the wrapper or withdraw funds. Use a wallet you can safely maintain, and consider a secure multisig for higher-value launches.
Profiles & Social
What is my public user profile?
Your profile is attached to your wallet and can show a display name, image or GIF, X link, website link, short message, Link Stack, badges, social counts, collection stats, created drops, and curated drops. It is saved to your wallet profile so it works across devices after you sign in.
How do profile links and unique names work?
Your saved profile gets a public link that can be copied from My Profile. Profile display names are unique, case-insensitive, and trimmed, so names like Artist, artist, and artist count as the same claim. If a name is already taken, choose a different one and save again.
What is Link Stack?
Link Stack lets you add public links to your profile with labels, icons, notes, optional images, and expanded tiles. You can add, remove, and reorder links from My Profile, and the public profile uses those saved links across devices.
What do the profile stats count?
Following and Followers count social follows. Collectors counts unique wallets that minted your published drops. Collected shows your total NFTs collected through 1xStudio and the unique artists those mints came from. Drops counts your published Mint Factory drops.
Can I preview my profile before sharing it?
Yes. My Profile has Preview Profile to open the public view and Copy Profile Link to copy your shareable profile URL.
How do profile images work?
You can upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, or GIF up to 25 MB, or provide a CID, IPFS link, gateway link, or public URL. Static images are resized before upload, GIFs stay animated within the same cap, and MP4 profile media is not supported.
What do profile badges mean?
Profiles can show Creator, Collector, and Curator badges based on platform activity. One published drop adds creator credit, one minted NFT adds collector credit, and one profile fav or drop heart adds curator credit. The activity mix uses those simple counts to show the profile's current role balance. Creator badges can also show who invited that user when the profile joined through a referral.
Why do I need a referral code for Mint Factory?
Mint Factory creator access is referral-gated so the creator network can grow with more trust and less spam. Enter a valid single-use code in Profile to unlock creation tools. If you are unable to find a referral code, reach out to 1xHarsh on X.
How do I get more referral codes?
After you unlock Mint Factory, you automatically receive 3 codes when a Mint Factory collection you create reaches 5 mints, 5 more at 55 mints, then 5 more for every 100 mints after that, up to 30 codes per collection. Referral leaderboard counts accepted referrals only after the invited wallet uses a code and creates a verified mint. Referral rules are subject to change without prior notice, and referral bonuses are not guaranteed.
Can I see who joined with my referral codes?
Yes. My Profile includes My Codes and Invited Profiles. Used codes show the invited wallet, and when that person saves a profile name, their profile name appears against the code so you can see who joined through your invite.
Can I see who follows me or collects my work?
Yes. Click Followers, Following, or Collectors on a profile to open the wallet list. From there you can open profiles and follow or unfollow users. Collector count is based on unique wallets that minted that user's published works through the platform.
How does follow and unfollow work?
Follow adds that user to your following list and can be used to filter the Art Feed. If you already follow someone, the button shows Following with a green check; clicking it unfollows them.
What shows in Recent Activity?
Recent Activity shows the latest mints and follows related to your wallet profile. It loads up to 50 recent items, shows about five rows before scrolling, and can be filtered to Both, Mints, or Follows.
How do Follow Suggestions work?
Suggestions show up to 10 profiles you do not already follow. 1xHarsh is recommended first when eligible, then suggestions prioritize profiles with the most mutual follows and fill with newer accounts when the mutual graph is still small. Follow All follows the visible suggestions and refreshes the list.
What is the Art Feed?
Art Feed shows live and completed mints published through 1/1/X Mint Factory. You can browse all mints, filter to people you follow, or filter to fav profiles. Profile settings let you choose whether the Art Feed opens to all accounts, followed accounts, or fav accounts by default.
What is the Leaderboard?
Leaderboard has Creator, Collector, Curator, and Referrals views. Creators rank by published drops, minted count, and unique collectors. Collectors rank by tracked ETH spent, NFTs collected, and unique artists collected; ETH spent excludes gas. Curators rank by profile favs plus drop hearts. Referrals ranks accepted creator referrals. Your connected wallet/profile is highlighted, and appears below the top list if it is outside the visible rankings.
Can I share my curated fav feed?
Yes. Your public profile slug, such as 1xstudio.xyz/your-name, shows your created mints and a public curation feed built from profiles you marked as fav plus individual drops you hearted. Anyone can open that slug without connecting a wallet, follow your taste, and discover mints from the accounts you like.
What do mint cards show?
Live mint cards open the mint page. If the mint belongs to your connected wallet, an edit icon opens Admin. Completed mint cards point collectors to the marketplace page and show follow controls for the profile.
Can I save profile preferences?
Yes. My Profile saves your private email field, feed defaults, and notification choices with your wallet profile. Feed defaults can open Art Feed to everyone, people you follow, or fav accounts only.
Permanent Storage
Why is permanent storage recommended?
Permanent storage protects the artwork and metadata links so you do not have to keep the original IPFS folder pinned forever or risk empty images on marketplaces later.
Who pays the permanent storage fee?
The creator pays permanent storage fees from the connected wallet during launch. The cost depends on file size, generated metadata size, and the storage network or provider price at that moment. The estimate includes a 20% buffer to reduce repeat prompts, and unused Irys balance remains available to the same wallet.
Can I skip permanent storage?
Yes. Permanent storage is strongly recommended, but the launch flow includes Skip for creators who want to continue without it. If you skip and the wrapper has no Base URI, set metadata later in Admin before sharing the live mint page.
Why can permanent storage need more than one wallet prompt?
Permanent storage can involve a gas-free authorization plus one or more funding or upload transactions depending on the storage provider balance and file size. The launch step shows each wallet action with a reason so creators know what they are approving.
Do I still need to upload assets to IPFS first?
Yes. Upload your finished artwork files to an IPFS folder first, copy the CID or full IPFS link into 1/1/X Mint Factory, and upload the metadata CSV. 1/1/X Mint Factory reads those files, builds final token metadata, and then stores the final package permanently before launch.
Do I have to use Pinata?
No. Pinata is an easy IPFS option because it has a clear upload UI and gives you a folder CID. Any IPFS provider works as long as the folder is public, pinned, and the asset filenames match the CSV.
Do I need to keep the original IPFS folder pinned forever?
After permanent storage is created and attached to the wrapper, collectors load the permanent links. Keeping your source IPFS folder pinned is still a good archive practice, but the permanent storage step removes long-term dependence on that source folder.
Why does 1/1/X Mint Factory ask for IPFS links instead of direct asset uploads?
Using creator-provided IPFS keeps hosting costs lower, reduces upload abuse risk, gives artists control over their source files, and lets 1/1/X Mint Factory focus on validation, metadata generation, and permanent storage.
Phases & Allow Lists
What is a mint phase?
A phase is a time window with its own price, wallet limit, and access rule. For example, you can create an allow-list phase first and a public phase after it.
How do phase times work?
Duration is calculated from start and end times. If you edit duration, the end time updates. 1/1/X Mint Factory keeps phases sequential and non-overlapping, and reordering keeps the timing slot logic easy to follow.
Does the allow-list amount override max per wallet?
The allow-list amount controls how many tokens that wallet can access in that allow-list phase. If a phase max per wallet is also set, the wallet can mint up to the lower of the CSV allowance, phase max, remaining supply, and what it already minted.
Can I mint with a delegated wallet?
Yes, for new delegate-aware wrappers. If your cold wallet is on the allow list and it delegated access through Delegate V2 to the connected minting wallet, the mint page checks that delegation at mint time. The cold wallet's allowance is consumed, and the connected minting wallet receives the token.
What does "use same allow-list for all phases" do?
It lets you upload one CSV once and apply the same wallet list across every allow-list phase, instead of uploading a separate CSV for each phase.
Can I include Culture Monke holders automatically?
Yes. In Phases and Allow Lists, check Include Culture Monke holders. 1/1/X Mint Factory fetches the current holder wallets from Etherscan and adds them to any uploaded allow list. If a holder is already in your CSV, the uploaded allowance stays unchanged; missing holders are added with allowance 1.
Can I auto-add top 1xStudio creators, collectors, or curators to an allow list?
Yes. In Phases and Allow Lists, choose Top creators, Top collectors, or Top curators, then set how many wallets to include. 1/1/X Mint Factory refreshes those wallets from the current public leaderboards before launch validation and adds them to each allow-list package.
What happens when the same wallet appears in multiple allow-list sources?
Uploaded or manually entered CSV rows are the base list. By default, automatic sources only add missing wallets with allowance 1, so duplicate wallets are ignored and allowances are not multiplied. If you choose Stack overlapping auto matches, each selected automatic source that matches a wallet adds +1 allowance.
What does rollover unused allow-list spots mean?
If enabled, unused allowance from earlier phases can carry into the next eligible phase. This helps collectors keep access if they missed an earlier window.
Launch & Verification
What happens during launch?
1/1/X Mint Factory walks through the required actions in order: create or confirm the Manifold collection contract, verify source, create the wrapper, verify wrapper source, create or skip permanent storage, attach final metadata when available, register the extension, and publish the mint page.
Does Etherscan verification need a wallet transaction?
No. Deploying a contract needs a wallet transaction, but Etherscan source verification is an API submission and status check. The Verify button shows submission progress and changes to Check Status while Etherscan processes the request.
Why is wrapper source verification its own step?
The wrapper is a separate deployed contract, so its source code is verified separately from the Manifold collection contract. Wrapper verification runs independently and does not block storage or mint page setup once the wrapper itself is deployed.
How do I confirm Etherscan verification was submitted?
1/1/X Mint Factory shows an Etherscan reference after submission. You can use Check Status, copy the reference for support, or open the contract on Etherscan to confirm whether the source code is published.
Why can verification take a while?
Etherscan queues verification requests and sometimes returns delayed status updates. If it takes more than a few minutes, the verification card shows a Re-submit option so you can send a fresh request.
Which chain should I use?
Ethereum Mainnet is the only supported chain for 1/1/X Mint Factory launches.
What do I confirm before publishing?
Confirm the connected owner wallet, collection contract, CSV and IPFS checks, mint page preview, allow-list behavior, permanent storage choice, Etherscan verification, and mint behavior before sharing the public mint page.
Does each creation get a new wrapper?
Yes. Each new launch deploys its own wrapper contract. That keeps each creation's phase rules, metadata, ownership, and proceeds isolated from other drops.
Mint Page & Widget
Should I choose a hosted mint page or widget?
Choose hosted mint page if you want a dedicated page managed from 1/1/X Mint Factory. Choose widget if you want collectors to mint from your own website. You can choose both if you want a page and embeddable code.
Can I preview the mint page before launch?
Yes. The preview shows the look and feel, selected accent colors, timer styling, pre-reveal image, collection name, and supply progress bar even before the wrapper is live.
Where does my accent color appear?
The selected accent color is used to generate the mint page feel, including timer accents, buttons, heading treatments, and supporting colors.
Why does the mint quantity sometimes stop below the phase max?
The mint page caps quantity by the most restrictive live limit: remaining supply, phase max, wallet allowance, and how much that wallet already minted. If only one token remains, the selector only allows one.
What is the optional X handle on the mint page?
Collectors can optionally share an X handle during minting so creators can connect with them later. If that wallet has already shared a handle, the mint page can prefill it for convenience.
Admin & Records
What can I do from Admin?
After selecting a wrapper, Admin lets the owner wallet review contract addresses, open the mint page, update phases, update allow lists, mint/admin airdrop, pause or resume minting, add an optional mint-page banner, check and withdraw funds, update treasury, update metadata, lock metadata, and manage wrapper ownership.
What is the difference between a Studio pause and wrapper pause?
A Studio pause disables 1xStudio hosted surfaces and creation actions. It does not block direct onchain calls to an open wrapper. If a creator needs minting stopped at the contract level, the wrapper owner should open Admin for that wrapper and use Pause.
Can I update all phases at once?
Yes. Admin shows all phases together for review and includes an Update All Phases action so the owner wallet can submit multiple phase changes in a single transaction when the wrapper supports it.
What is the difference between Created Wrappers and Owned Wrappers?
Created Wrappers were launched from the connected wallet profile. Owned Wrappers are wrappers where the connected wallet is currently the onchain owner, including wrappers transferred from another wallet. Admin actions depend on current ownership.
Can I transfer or renounce ownership?
Yes. Admin includes ownership controls for the wrapper and, when supported by the Manifold ERC-721 Creator Core contract, the base collection contract. Transfers should be tested carefully; renouncing ownership is permanent and can remove admin control.
Can I burn a token from Admin?
Yes, when the base ERC-721 contract supports burning and the connected wallet currently owns the token ID. Admin checks token ownership before showing the burn action.
Can I close sold-out live mints?
Yes. Admin includes a close-out action that marks sold-out live mints as completed and closes minting even if configured phases are still live or scheduled for later.
Can I download a minter list?
Yes. Admin can export a CSV of minter wallets and mint counts for the selected wrapper. Optional X handles are included when collectors choose to share them.
How do withdrawals work?
The Funds tab can check the wrapper contract balance and show creator proceeds in ETH. The owner wallet can withdraw those proceeds to the configured treasury wallet. Platform fees are separate from creator proceeds and do not appear in this balance.
Where are My Creations?
Home shows created drops in the My Creations mint view. Admin also has My Creations for managing published mint surfaces and saved drafts. A draft stays in Drafts until the mint page is published, and duplicating a published creation starts a fresh draft with deployment progress cleared.
Where are drafts stored?
Drafts are saved against the connected wallet so they can be resumed later from the same wallet profile. Published creation records are stored securely and indexed by wallet, collection contract, wrapper contract, and mint page status.
What happens when I duplicate a creation?
Duplicating creates a new draft with the same editable settings, but clears deployed contract steps so the next launch creates or imports a new collection and wrapper.
What data is onchain versus stored by 1/1/X Mint Factory?
Contracts, ownership, mint rules, funds, and final metadata URI live onchain or in permanent storage. Draft settings, UI preferences, helper labels, and creation records are saved to the wallet profile so 1/1/X Mint Factory can show the right drafts, published pages, contract addresses, and admin tools when the wallet connects.
