Case Study: How DIN Used Phosphor to Launch an NFT Series

DIN has some exciting announcements coming up in Bangkok during Devcon! More details will follow in future posts, but in the meantime, we’ll be launching a limited 12-part NFT series via Phosphor.

Why Phosphor for DIN?

Phosphor focuses on the creator and collector experience for NFTs published directly to Linea and other popular blockchain networks. We mainly chose Phosphor because it is directly integrated with MetaMask Portfolio, where you can browse and mint in the NFT Tab of the Portfolio page.

The Phosphor feed front page is also a great place to look for the latest drops highlighted by artists and creators.

Tutorial: creating an Advanced Drop scheduled NFT series

Start by creating your account and updating your creator profile information. You can familiarize yourself with the application and available tools through the guide for Phosphor Studio. Once your profile is created, you can create content with your Advanced Drop.

(1) Create an Advanced Drop

(2) Fill out the Advanced Workflow Creator

• Upload Drop Cover - This will be shown as a thumbnail for your Advanced Drop

• Advanced Drop name (e.g. “DIN Road to Devcon 2024 Series”)

• Collectible Type - You can keep as default to ERC1155

• Network - Highly recommend Linea for the low cost mints!

Note: We want to create multiple NFTs launched at different times for a full series

(3) (For the first NFT) Add a Distribution >> Tools/Launch Claim Page

(4) In the Claim Wizard, add your General Details

• Name your Distribution (e.g. DIN Road to Devcon 2024 #1) - This shows up in the phosphor studio and not in the NFT collectible itself

• Set a URL tag (e.g. dinroadtodevcon2024)

(5) Add your Collectible details

• Collectible Media - Search for your PNG file that will become the collectible NFT

• Collectible Title (e.g. DIN Road to Devcon 2024 #1) - This is the name of the NFT itself (which can be different from the General Details title)

• Collectible Description (e.g. 1 of X NFTs) - This will appear under your NFT in the claim page

• Collectible Traits - This is where you can add more metadata traits for your NFT

(6) Fill out your Claim Configuration

• Claim Transaction Costs Paid for by

  1. Collector - Collectors pay for minting fees

  2. Creator - DIN will pay for your minting fees

• Edition Size (e.g. Open, Fixed) - We set this to a fixed number

• Maximum Quantity (e.g. 1000) - Once all claims are completed, we will not be able to add more.

• Limit Per Wallet Address (e.g. Yes, No) - Limiting allows for one per wallet address

• Maximum Allowed (e.g. 1) - Set to one NFT per connected wallet address

• Important: Toggle the “Visible On Profile” in order for this to be discoverable on your profile and displayed to the Phosphor feed

(7) Schedule your NFT launch

• Claim Window Start Date

• Set End date by Common Window or Days

(8) Review and confirm summary

• Add Funds to Account Balance (if needed) - This will pay for contract deployment and distribution coverage

• Checkbox to agree to fund the cost from the Account Balance

Clicking “Next” will Deploy the Smart Contract with the given details. Make sure this is correct as you can’t edit the contract metadata itself after deploying.

With the Advanced Drop, you can create a Distribution Timeline for an NFT Series of multiple claims.

Repeat these steps with all of your NFTs. As a reference, DIN created 12 NFTs with a set schedule of a release every Friday.

Once completed, your Studio dashboard for your drop would look like this:

You can also view your set of drops all together from the dashboard page:

When your drop becomes active, you can share it via QR Code:

Or with the “Share” button, you can “Share on X” or “Cast On Warpcast”:

We’ve personally loved the automation and scheduling of distributions. Creating a consistent series of drops and deploying directly to MetaMask Portfolio and the Phosphor feed increases the ease of connecting to your collectors. Releasing NFTs with your marketing flow has never been easier!
