Timed drops (allowlist + public phases)
ERC-721A drop with an optional Merkle allowlist phase followed by a public mint window. Buyers pay the contract directly. You set price, supply, per-wallet caps and timestamps.
Two phases
A drop has at most two phases. Phase 1 is the allowlist (optional): only addresses included in the Merkle tree can mint, often at a discounted price. Phase 2 is public: anyone can mint at the public price until the window closes or the supply runs out. Both phases have their own start/end timestamps and per-wallet caps.
Why two phases
Allowlists protect your earliest supporters from gas wars and bots. They also let you reward existing holders of another collection without doing it manually. The public phase is the marketing moment - wider reach, public price.
What's in the wizard
/create/drop asks for: name, symbol, description, max supply, royalty bps, withdraw address, allowlist CSV (one address per line, optional discounted price + per-wallet cap), public price + per-wallet cap + window, optional unrevealed placeholder URI, optional reveal time.
After deploy
The contract is yours. You can call setBaseURI later to point at the revealed metadata, withdraw funds with the withdraw helper, and pause if you ever need to. Buyers go through /mint/[chain]/[address].
