Welcome to Collectable Entries

Collectable entries are a new type of digital asset that represents your entries on-chain.

Collectable entries are a collectable visual representation of a Mirror publication entry. The Collectable entry includes the banner image of your work and displays metadata such as the entry title, description, author, subdomain name, link to entry, Arweave content link and more.

Collectable entries are deployed on Optimism, an Ethereum L2 network. As a result, they are free to deploy, cheap to collect (currently <$2 in gas), and will be visible across multiple new Mirror pages: Collections, Leaderboards, and others later on.

 

Minting steps

  • Go to mirror.xyz/dashboard

  • Create a new entry or navigate to your entry on the dashboard

    • To access a previous entry click the “more settings” option, and select “Edit”.

  • We recommend setting an accessible price (<0.01 ETH, currently <$20 USD) and abundant supply (>100 units). This way many people can collect your new Collectable Entry.
  • Once you finish setting the price and supply, confirm the values are correct and publish your entry.
