Plan a Hedera NFT Collection Launch on SentX

A launch gives collectors a route into your collection. Before announcing a date, check the artwork, token configuration, available NFTs and the exact rules collectors will encounter.

Start with a small complete example. Open the release as a visitor, read it as a first-time collector and trace the steps through to the expected result.

Define what you are releasing

Write a clear collection description. State what the NFTs represent, what a collector receives and where any ongoing benefits are explained. Keep the token ID available so people can verify the collection.

Choose the supply and key configuration before creating a new token. If the collection already exists, inspect that configuration rather than assuming it supports every planned operation.

Create your first collection or import an existing one.

Check the media and metadata

Inspect more than the cover image. Check names, traits and file addresses across the set. Confirm that the intended artwork appears on actual minted serials where the launch uses existing NFTs.

Keep backups of the source artwork and metadata. The metadata guide explains what applications retrieve and what needs continued storage.

Choose the release mechanics

Decide how collectors become eligible, what they pay and how many NFTs they can receive. Read the rules for the actual launch type you select. A free claim, an NFT swap and a paid mint event are different collector experiences.

For timed eligibility, use whitelists and stages. That reference covers settings and shared inventory in detail.

Check inventory and limits together

An early stage can reduce the inventory available later. Do not announce a reserved allocation unless the launch actually enforces that reservation.

Review the per-user limit, per-transaction limit and total available supply as separate numbers. Write down what happens when a collector qualifies through more than one condition.

Review the collector's cost

Read the launch and sale fees, then inspect the collector-facing price and any required token or NFT. Explain the cost in the same unit the event uses.

If the event has a zero purchase price, still inspect possible network and token fees. Avoid describing it as costing nothing unless the complete flow supports that statement.

Check the public page

Open the release without the creator session. Confirm the artwork, title, time, eligibility explanation and action. Check the page on a phone and make sure the collection token ID is available.

Link first-time collectors to wallet setup. A short preparation link is more useful than asking people to discover wallet setup after the launch begins.

Prepare for questions

Keep the collection token ID, launch link and a clear contact route ready. Explain how collectors can check a submitted operation without repeatedly pressing the action button.

After the event opens, watch for mismatches between your announcement and the page's actual rules. Correct the announcement promptly if anything changed.

Open DreamForge or review launch stages.
