Mint on the Verisart contract or create/use your own custom contract.
Verisart contract vs Custom contract
What is the Verisart Contract?
The Verisart Contract is managed by Verisart and other creators can also mint NFTs on this contract.
If you mint NFTs on the Ethereum Verisart contract you need to cover the gas fees for minting the work (Polygon NFTs are free to mint on all our paid plans). Royalties are fixed for OpenSea and distributed by Verisart and variable for Rarible.
What is a Custom Contract?
Available on the Growth and Pro plan
Custom contracts provide a single home for all your NFTs or a specific project and a direct provenance from you to your collector.
Why create a custom contract?
Choose your own contract name and token ID
Each NFT gets minted with your branded token ID
Manage Royalties on OpenSea
Manage the contract details on other marketplaces like OpenSea and Rarible
Custom contracts on Polygon: Gas fees for creating a custom contract on Polygon are covered by Verisart.
Custom contracts on Ethereum & Base: Gas fees for deploying your own custom contract on Ethereum generally cost around 0.2 - 0.5 ETH. The price of deploying a custom contract can vary significantly due to amount of activity on the network at the time. Check gas fees before deploying the contract.
