/launch takes you from an empty draft to a live mint. No
application, no waitlist — you pay the chain, and that’s the only gate.
Two flows
The wizard branches on chain, and the two are genuinely different underneath. Choose deliberately.- Solana
- EVM
Deploys a Metaplex Core Candy Machine. Artwork goes to Arweave. Your
sale phases become candy guards.
→ Launch on Solana
Generating the artwork
If your collection is built from trait layers, do that in the layer generator before you get to the artwork step. It handles trait rules, rarity weights, and putting the result into your draft. Your full-resolution images are composed when you launch, not in your browser. The generator stages a recipe per item and a small preview; we build the real files during deployment. Which does mean you can’t get finished artwork out of the tool without actually launching.Once it’s live
A mint page

can mint.Owner tools
/mint/manage — edit phases, manage your allowlist, update artwork,

Your collection is tradeable as soon as tokens exist.
Rarity ranks
Worked out from trait distribution once the collection is indexed.
What it costs
Nothing here is behind a subscription. You pay:- Solana — Candy Machine rent, most of which comes back when you close it, plus Arweave storage per item.
- EVM — deployment gas. That’s the whole story, and it varies enormously: Ethereum mainnet is orders of magnitude more than Base, Ink, ApeChain or Abstract.
- Mint fees on EVM are compiled into your contract. See Launch on EVM.
