The Wallet that you want to create everything with. Also used as the Creator, unless you set a different Public Key for that.

First we need Metadata for the entire NFT Collection.
Once done we'll upload it to decentralized storage.

Next we'll create a Collection NFT with the Metadata we defined above. This NFT will represent the entire Collection and all individual NFTs will refer to it.

We need to generate Metadata for each NFT. We'll start with a template and set up all the basic fields that all NFTs will share

And we need to set Traits - The values that make each NFT unique and define the rarity of each NFT. The Template Value of each Trait has to correspond with the header of the data we'll load in the next step below.

(Header POINTS → Template Value $POINTS$)

Now we need the actual Data for each item. Set this up in a spreadsheet, save as CSV and import it here!
If the headers of the columns match the Traits you set up above, then they will show up as tags in the preview section further down!

Upload an image each for every NFT. Name them after numbers - image 0.png will belong to NFT #1, etc.

Review everything and check that all the required pieces are in place!

Once all data is done and all images are uploaded, the final metadata for all NFTs can be uploaded to decentralized storage.

Set up a Candy Machine where users can mint your NFTs for a given amount of SOL

Now all that's left to do now is to fill the Candy Machine with all the links to the Metadata you have uploaded for your NFTs

Once you're at this point you can make a website and let users mint your NFTs!

After users have minted NFTs through your Candy Machine, you have the option to verify your Account as the Creator of those NFTs (Your account signs a transaction and this flips a switch on the NFT metadata).

Once your Candy Machine has minted all NFTs you can delete it and thus reclaim storage costs.
