Creating a contract

All 1155 contracts created from Zora are deployed by calling a central factory contract. When calling this factory it will deploy a minimal proxy contract that is upgradeable. All upgrades are opt-in and must be done manually on a per contract basis by the user.

The easiest way to create Zora 1555 contracts using the factory is by using the sdk.

Calling the Factory Contract

The createContract function on the factory is responsible for deploying a new 1155 contract. The setupActions parameter allows for multiple actions to be called when deploying the contract. Such as creating a token and sale in the same transaction as deploying the contract.

contractURI: The URI for the contract metadata
name: The name of the contract
defaultRoyaltyConfiguration: The default royalty configuration for the contract
defaultAdmin: The default admin for the contract
setupActions: The actions to perform on the new contract upon initialization (optional)

function createContract(
    string calldata newContractURI,
    string calldata name,
    ICreatorRoyaltiesControl.RoyaltyConfiguration memory defaultRoyaltyConfiguration,
    address payable defaultAdmin,
    bytes[] calldata setupActions
) external returns (address)

Contract URI

The Contract URI contains contract specific details. This metadata is stored in a JSON file on IPFS. The uri is retrieved via the contractURI() call on the contract.

Refer to the SDK guide on building contract metadata for schematic info and some sample code.

Setup Actions

An optional param that is encoded function data that can be passed in and can call a separate function within the contract. This allows creating a token and setting permissions in the same transaction of creating the contract. Actions that can be called:

Creating a token
Setting the salesConfig
Granting permissions/minter role
Admin minting tokens
