How SolSea Works

The first NFT marketplace that allows creators to choose and incorporate licenses when minting NFT. Creators know what they sell, collectors know what they buy. Join the revolution.

The main features and benefits that SolSea has are:

NFT minting with embedded licenses – SolSea is the first minting platform that allows creators to embed copyright licenses into NFTs.

Ultra-low cost and multi-currency support: SolSea enables minting, quoting and transactions with ultra-low rates in SOL, USDC, USDT.

Rarity rank and score for verified collections: SolSea calculates rarity rank, score and trait statistics for each fully minted verified collection, adding highly relevant information to buyers.

Public and private listing of NFTs: SolSea allows creators to make their NFTs listed for sale visible to the public or only privately, and allow for more exclusive or private purchasing.

These aspects along with the ease of uploading your collection or files to the platform, has led to many new collections appearing here. In addition to having very complete aspects such as tight filters, rarity information on each NFT and payments for mining in different cryptocurrencies of the Solana network. If you compare it with other marketplaces like DigitalEyes, SolSea’s functionality is really good.

Explore

Before we go into more detail about the platform, it is important to mention that you are going to need to register for aspects like selling your NFT’s, using a wallet, an email and a password. The process is very simple, but unlike other platforms where you only connect your wallet, in this one, you will need to provide an email and a password. With your account created, you will be able to access your profile, buy and sell NFT’s without any problems.

On the main page, you can find more information about the platform, and the featured collections, such as the latest NFT’s that have been listed on the platform.

If we go to explore, you have two options. View all NFT’s or the existing collections. A very good option if you want to research on different NFT’s, and not limit yourself to only see collections or only individual NFT’s, as it happens with other platforms.

In explore NFT’s, you can find many filters, which really make it easy for the user to find specific NFTs. Besides searching by name, filters depending on what type of NFT it is, 3D, Art, Painting, PFP, Photography, Trading cards or video.

Below you can also filter to only see NFT’s from Solsea, verified or not and if it includes NSFW. On the top right you can see the amount of listed items that exist.

Further down we find filters where you can filter by price, rank, likes, views, listings, and rarity rank. Many filters that allow you to find very specific NFT’s thanks to this amount of filters that the Marketplace allows. Further to the right you can filter by collection or individual NFT’s, by different tags to find a specific category and finally by the type of license it has.

The NFT’s in explore, you can find relevant information without going into the product sheet, which is really useful for a faster filtering when you are looking for the best NFT. You can see the price, visits, likes and in some cases the rarity ranking if the collection has defined rarity.

In explore collections, we find filters and a very similar format. The main differences is the filtering that allows you to filter by collections with more than 5, more than 50 or more than 100 NFT’s in it.

Also, in the collections when browsing, you find a lot of useful information without having to go inside. Information that shows you directly such as the amount of NFT’s listed, the floor Price or lowest price, the likes and the visits. This allows you to easily compare all this information between collections without having to open each one of them.

How to Buy NFT’s

To buy your first NFT’s in this Marketplace, you must first connect your wallet at the top of the platform and create an account if you don’t have one. Click on connect wallet and then enter your email and password. If you don’t know how to deposit solana in your wallet, I left you a guide here.

Another relevant aspect is to buy verified NFT’s, and if they are not verified, I recommend you to do a check to avoid buying a fake NFT. Although if you don’t want to complicate it, just don’t buy NFT’s that are not verified.

If the NFT is not verified and you are still interested, you can search the image of the NFT in google, and if it appears in other marketplaces or linked to other collections and it is not verified, it is most likely fake.

With that said, let’s see how you can buy your NFT. To do this, you must select the NFT you are interested in. Before you buy it, you can find useful information about the NFT, such as visits, likes, the type of license if it has, the collection, the address that has listed it, the different features and the sales history of the NFT. This is useful to see if it has been sold several times, and at what prices.

Once you have reviewed all the information, click on Buy NFT, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. You will now have your NFT which you can view in your profile, or in your phantom wallet in the collections section.

How to Create your NFT’s

Now we are going to see one of the main parts that SolSea has, which is the creation of NFT’s, very similar to opensea, and that makes it really easy.

You will be able to see that you can create both individual NFt’s and collections. The ideal is to first minify or create all your NFT’s, and then put them together in a collection.

We are going to focus on how to create an NFT, since collections are created very similarly. It is important to know the cost, and although it may vary, in my experience to mine an NFT you will have to pay a gas fee of 0.00002 SOL for each NFT, and to create the collection 0.0015. So take into account also the cost of mining the NFT’s.

Let’s go to create and NFT. Here, you must upload your file, either in photo, video or Gif format. It also allows you to upload an animated image as a preview of your NFT. As you add photos and names, you will see on the right how your NFT will look like. Enter the title, small description, the amount of royalties you want to receive, as a %. For example, a 2 means that every transaction made with that NFT, you will receive 2% of it.

Then, you can indicate other information that is not mandatory but highly recommended, such as your website or social network, tags to make it easier to find your NFT’s and attributes. If your NFT is in the NSFW category, select the almostila.

With all the information provided, click on Mint NFT, and confirm in your wallet. In this simple way, you have created your first NFT. In your profile, you will see the NFT created and ready to list and sell.

Collections have a very similar format, and we won’t go into too much detail. The most relevant thing regarding the collections is to indicate all the information of social networks, website and any kind of information that is useful to verify your collection and have the blue tick given by the platform. This can help to make the verification faster for your collection and NFT’s.

In order to verify your NFT’s, you must go to my profile and collection verification, where you must select the collection and fill out a google form. Unfortunately, there is no known estimated time it takes to verify, but the clearer the information is, the sooner you can be verified. It is also important to know that you must have a minimum of 1,000 followers on Twitter to be verified.

How to Sell your NFT’s

With your collection or NFT’s created, it’s time to put them up for sale. You will also be able to sell NFT’s that you have minted on other platforms or using other ways. In addition to NFT’s that you have acquired on other marketplaces, you will be able to offer them for sale on SolSea.

If you go to my wallet, NFT in my wallet, you will be able to see all the NFT’s you have available. To sell them is as easy as clicking on list NFT, indicate the amount of SOL, if you want a public and private sale and that’s it. Click on list NFT and confirm in your wallet and your NFT will be available in the Marketplace.

Calendar

Finally, here you can find the different collections that will appear soon in SolSea. A way to find new interesting collections that will appear on the platform. You can also follow them on their social networks, to see when new interesting collections are going to appear in their Marketplace and they are usually announced on twitter, telegram or discord.

I hope it has helped you to learn more about how SolSea works and all the advantages that this NFT’s Marketplace brings. Remember that if you don’t have an account with binance, you can create one just below.
