Packs

Overview

While you can sell NFTs as individual listings, Packs allow you to bundle one or more of your NFTs to sell as a group. NFT Packs are like traditional trading card packs, but since these are digital, you can use accompanying videos or animations to simulate opening a package for your collectors. Users can open them to reveal a random NFT according to the rarity of parameters you define.

How Packs Work

When you create a pack to sell on the blockchain, users can open them to reveal one or more random NFTs according to the rarity of parameters you define. Packs will randomize across all editions in the collection that you add to it. Packs themselves are not NFTs and are an off-chain concept for hiding NFT content until after a collector purchases them. Once they complete the purchase and go through the revel process, the NFTs are then transferred to their wallet.

Step 1: Create New NFT Pack

1. Go to NFTs > Packs and click the Create New button.
2. Click Add NFT to Add Existing NFT or Add New NFT. If you choose to add a new NFT, you’ll have to go through the add new listing flow.

Step 2: Select NFTs to Add to Pack
