ERC-721 NFT Creator

⚠︎ 721 NFTs can only be created and managed on the contract and API level but not on the zora.co UI level.

This contract is in charge of deploying new NFT contracts. The factory references an implementation contract and clones it to give it it's own unique address.

View the contract code here and the list of deployed addresses here.

Edition vs Drop

This contract can be used to create either Editions or Drops.

  • Editions: All the NFTs share the same media asset.
  • Drops: All the NFTs have individual pieces of media.

Platforms have the ability to earn some of the protocol rewards for helping creators deploy their smart contracts.

Global Variables

  • implementation: An NFT contract used for cloning.
  • editionMetadataRenderer: A contract for rendering editions metadata.
  • dropMetadataRenderer: A contract for rendering drops.
