How To Get On The Launchpad

To appear on the onXRP NFT launchpad you must apply to become a curated project. In order to do this, you must fill in the launchpad application form. Once this step has been completed and reviewed by the onXRP team, you will be contacted for further collaboration. It is, however, recommended that you apply well before the desired launch date of your project so that the team has enough time to go over the application.

Step for Step Launchpad Application Process

Before starting the application, make sure you connect to the Launchpad using a clean wallet. The wallet you use will become the issuer wallet for the entire collection, so it is therefore important that:

• Nobody else but the owner has the keys to this wallet.
• The wallet has minimal transaction history (e.g. create and activate a new wallet by sending 10 XRP).
• The wallet contains an amount of XRP to be locked as treasury and unlocked during minting (ask the onXRP team how much is necessary for your project).
• The wallet has never issued an NFT before.
• If you are planning to receive IOU tokens for your NFTs, make sure that your issuer wallet has a trust line set up with the IOU token. If you are planning to receive OXP, make sure there is a trust line with OXP set up.

Step 1: Project Details

The information you provide in this step will appear on your ‘Collection Page’, ‘Collection Card’, and ‘Launchpad Page’ so make sure that you take great care of how you input the data.

Fields:

• Name – The name of you project.
• Category – The category you wish you project to fall under.
• Short Project Description – A description that will be visible on your ‘Collection Page’, ‘Collection Card’, and ‘Launchpad Page’.
• Banner – A banner that will be displayed on your ‘Collection Page’, ‘Collection Card’, and ‘Launchpad Page’.
• Sample Artwork – A picture that will be displayed on your ‘Collection Page’, ‘Collection Card’, and ‘Launchpad Page’.

Press ‘Continue’ if you are confident you have filled in the information correctly.

Step 2: Project URLs

Fields:

• Add the appropriate URL links into all the input fields.

Press ‘Continue’ if you are confident you have filled in the information correctly.

Step 3: Project Description

Fields:

• Long project description – This is a longer description of you project and it will appear on your ‘Launchpad Page’.
• Images – Add pictures of some of the NFTs available in the series. These will be visible on your ‘Launchpage Page’.

Press ‘Continue’ if you are confident you have filled in the information correctly.

Step 4: Road Map

Fields:

• Road Map – Type up your Road Map using dates (e.g. Q3 2022 – Description). This will be publicly visible on your ‘Launchpad Page’.

Press ‘Continue’ if you are confident you have filled in the information correctly.

Step 5: Team

Fields:

• Team – List the individuals in your team and their position or involvement.

Press ‘Continue’ if you are confident you have filled in the information correctly.

Step 6: Upload Assets

Upload a zip file with all the images and metadata of the collection. It is essential that this zip file is structured correctly and that the files are final. An example of a correct zip file can be found here: www.tinyurl.com/nftsample. For more information regarding uploading your metadata via JSON files, click here.

Press ‘Continue’ if you are confident you have completed this step correctly.

Step 7: Minting Details

Fields:

• Expected Mint Date & Time – If you are applying before the marketplace has been released, you can insert a random date in the future.
• Mint Price – This is the minting price per NFT. If you select ‘Other’ you must also provide:
  • The ‘Currency Name’ – This is the ticker of your currency (e.g. XPUNK).
  • IOU Issuer Wallet ID – This is the (blackholed) IOU issuer wallet address of the issuer.
  • Total Tokens Available – The total supply of the token.
• Royalty Percentage – Place the percentage of royalties you would like to receive on secondary sales of your NFT.
• Random Minting – Selected whether you want your holders to experience a random mint.

More Information About Random Minting

Random mints are facilitated in a particular manner, so project owners need to understand the specifics of how the metadata upload is structured. Once the launchpad goes online, the NFT data will be uploaded to IPFS, and the URI (the link to the IPFS directory) will be shared with the project owner. However, the URI will not yet be set on the issuer wallet or NFTs. This is done so that buyers cannot already see which NFT they mint on the ledger before signing the transaction.

During the launchpad’s active duration, the issuer wallet will temporarily point to an onXRP API which assigns the NFT, and metadata, to a newly minted NFT after the buyer signs the transactions. This is necessary to ensure that the mint is truly random. It is important for project owners to not share the IPFS & URI whilst the random mint is ongoing. The reason for this is that certain tech-savvy individuals can use this set of information to predict if they are about to mint a rare NFT or not.

Press ‘Continue’ if you are confident you have filled in the information correctly.

Step 8: Contact Information

Fields:

• Email Address – Insert your project’s email address
• Enable MultiSign – A Multisign transaction enables the onXRP backend to issue the NFTs with your issuer wallet when users purchase it. The Multisign function can always be disabled by you, but the launchpad will cease to be active whilst this functionality is turned off. If you agree with this, you may tick the box.
  • Please note that Multisign does not give onXRP access to your private keys.
• Terms and Conditions – Read the onXRP Terms and Conditions. If you agree with them, you may tick the box.
• Verify me – Complete the KYC procedure by ‘passbase’.

Press ‘Continue’ if you are confident you have filled in the information correctly.

What Now?

Once a project has been approved for launchpad, a launch date can be selected, and the project becomes visible on the ‘Upcoming Launchpad’ section. On the launch date of your project, the launchpad page will become visible and your community will be able to mint the NFTs on this page.

Our launchpad will mint your NFTs on demand, meaning that we will not pre-mint your entire set, but rather mint the NFT every time a user exchanges it for the right IOU token (or XRP/OXP if this exchange method is selected). This process protects the XRPL from getting overloaded!

If for whatever reason you need extra support for this, you may ask for assistance by opening a ticket on the onXRP discord (please consider that our moderators may not be able to help you with such technical requests, therefore ask for a marketplace representative).

Extra Information

Setting the IPFS URI

The onXRP marketplace does not call NFT metadata from individual NFTs but from the domain field of the issuer wallet. By default, the IPFS URI will be set on the issuer wallet once the entire set is minted. Until that moment, the domain field of the issuer wallet will point to an onXRP API to retrieve the metadata. This way, users will not be able to snipe NFTs whilst a random mint is active. Project owners can also request to close their launchpad before their collection is fully minted. In this situation, the following will happen:

• The rest of the collection will be minted on the issuer’s wallet.
• The launchpad page for the NFT project will close.
• The Multisign connection will be disabled.

Projects are welcome to request specific functionalities regarding their mint, however, this is not a guarantee. We will always aim to please all projects launching on our launchpad!

Blackholing The Issuer Wallet

onXRP recommends that you do not blackhole your NFT issuer wallet before the launch of Hooks. If you blackhole your wallet before this amendment goes live, your metadata will be locked, and an extra security layer will be added to NFT holders. Blackholing your wallet prior to the release of the Hooks amendment will also prevent you from royalties post-blackholing.

Once Hooks is live, it will be possible for you to place a hook onto your issuer wallet, which will indefinitely transfer all royalties to your treasury wallet. Only then will you be able to blackhole the NFT issuer wallet. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need more information about this.

Fees

The platform derives fees from sales on the secondary market which consists of 1.5% per sale. For projects that decide to leverage the Launchpad using XRP or OXP, the platform derives dynamic fees depending on the needs of the project in question. Note that projects choosing OXP as a means of payment will receive financial benefits. However, onXRP launchpad partners will not experience any fees on their collection on the secondary marketplace.
