Launch Day & Beyond
Your collection is built and tested — here's how to run mint day and keep building afterward.
Launch day
Before the mint opens
Announce the final details and timing to your community
Share the direct link to your collection's page
Be available to answer questions as people arrive
During the mint
Follow the mint on your collection's page on the marketplace
Engage with your community and celebrate milestones
Use the Collection Manager if you need to adjust timing or airdrop — most issues are quick to resolve; reach creator support if you need a hand
Secondary market
Once minted, your NFTs trade on the Stargaze marketplace:
Collectors can list, make offers, and resell freely
Your creator royalty is paid automatically on every resale (see Costs & Fees)
Keep an eye on floor price, volume, and holder distribution to gauge your collection's health
Renew your royalties every year. A collection's royalties are reduced to 0% if the creator doesn't stay active. Keep them enforced by renewing your creator activity once a year from the Royalties manager in Studio.
Rewarding holders
Want to airdrop to your holders or run a follow-up drop?
Export a holder list with Snapshots.
Airdrop tokens straight to those wallets from the Collection Manager, or use the list as a whitelist for your next mint.
Revealing later
Vending collections reveal randomly as people mint. If you launched with placeholder art and want to reveal the real pieces afterward, update the token metadata from Update Metadata — the on-chain art pointer is the token field you can change after launch.
Building for the long term
The collections that last tend to:
Keep a real community — regular communication, and a reason for holders to stay engaged
Add utility — holder-only access, allowlists for future drops, collaborations
Evolve — companion collections, trait upgrades, cross-collection events
