12 topics

Whitelist (Merkle allowlist)

An allowlist is a snapshot of addresses authorised to mint during a private phase. artsunami stores it as a Merkle root in the contract - gas-efficient, no on-chain CSV.

Read →

Reveal (placeholder → final art)

Mint blind, reveal later. Buyers see a placeholder image until you flip the reveal - then every token's metadata snaps to the real art at once.

Read →

Launch date & mint window

Every mintable contract on artsunami takes a start and end Unix timestamp. The wizards expose them as datetime pickers; the public mint page reads the contract and shows Upcoming / Live / Closed automatically.

Read →

Anti-bot (per-wallet caps)

maxPerWallet is the cap each address can mint across the lifetime of the contract. Set it low (1, 2, 3) for fair distribution; set it to 0 for unlimited.

Special trait (PFP holder utility)

When you build a PFP collection, you can mark a small set of token IDs as carrying a special trait. Holders of those tokens unlock extra rights: claiming a free NFT from another collection, or burning their PFP to claim tokens.

Read →

Claim (special-trait holders)

A claim is the non-burn flavour of the special-trait utility. The holder keeps their PFP and pulls one NFT from a partner collection.

Read →

Burn-to-claim (PFP → tokens)

The destructive flavour of the special-trait utility. The holder sends their PFP to the burn address; the helper mints them ERC-20 tokens linked to the collection's bonding curve.

Buy any NFT in 1-click (via Reservoir)

When you click Buy on an NFT in /profile or /trade, artsunami fetches the cheapest listing across every aggregated marketplace via Reservoir, and routes the buy tx to the source marketplace contract. We never custody the funds - your wallet pays directly, the NFT lands in your wallet in the same transaction.

Read →

List an NFT from another platform on artsunami

Any NFT you hold - whatever chain it was minted on - can be listed on the artsunami gallery contract. Two transactions, then it's live in /gallery and discoverable by every collector.

Read →

Community spam reports

Anyone browsing the aggregator can flag a contract as spam. Once enough distinct users report it, the contract is auto-blocked across /profile, /gallery and /trade - without us having to play moderator.

List an ERC-1155 token on artsunami

ERC-1155 tokens (open editions, multi-supply drops) get their own marketplace contract: NFTzillaMarket1155. Same fixed-price on-chain design as the 721 market, but with a quantity field so a single listing can be partially filled by many buyers.

Read →

Floor sweep - buy N NFTs in 1 transaction

Click Sweep floor on any collection card in /gallery → Discover. Pick a quantity (1, 3, 5, 10, 25), preview the cheapest N tokens currently listed across every aggregated marketplace, and buy them all in the smallest set of transactions Reservoir can compose - usually a single bundled tx for homogeneous Seaport listings.
