Major Features and Suggested Workflow
1. Metadata Validator
Ensure that your metadata follows the proper standards before you mint or distribute your NFTs. Use the Metadata Validator as your first step to verify your NFT collection’s metadata against the Hedera Metadata Standard HIP-412. This ensures that your NFTs will be correctly represented in various platforms and marketplaces.
Verifying your metadata ensures compliance and sets a solid foundation for other processes like distribution and analysis.
2. Analyze NFT Rarity
Once your metadata is validated and you’ve defined NFT traits, use the NFT Rarity Inspector to analyze the rarity of each NFT in your collection. This is particularly useful for managing collectible NFTs where rarity influences value. The tool will calculate both individual NFT rarity and overall collection distribution.
Understanding rarity helps highlight valuable pieces in your collection and can play a key role in your marketing or sales strategy.
3. Evaluate Risk with the NFT Risk Calculator
Before launching your NFT collection, use the NFT Risk Calculator to assess the security and potential risks associated with your project. This tool helps you analyze key factors such as token keys and design decisions like token supply type. By understanding how setting or not setting specific keys increases risk, you can make better-informed token design decisions.
Analyzing risk before launching helps prevent future issues, ensuring that your project is secure from the start.
4. Distribute Tokens Using the Airdrop List Verifier
If you plan to distribute tokens via airdrop, the next step is to ensure a smooth and compliant process with the Hedera Airdrop List Verifier. Upload your list of recipients, and the tool will verify whether each recipient is associated with the correct token ID and has the available slots for auto-association.
This step avoids failed airdrops and ensures tokens are sent to eligible recipients, saving time and resources.
5. Build Your NFT Token Holders List
After the initial airdrop or once your NFTs have been distributed, you can use the NFT Token Holders List Builder to create a list of token holders based on various criteria, such as ownership of specific tokens.
Building this list helps you stay connected to your community and target your most loyal holders with special offers or updates.
6. Capture Token Distribution with the Balance Snapshot Tool
Finally, use the Token Balance Snapshot Tool to capture snapshots of token ownership at any given point. This tool is handy for tracking community engagement and organizing reward or loyalty programs based on token holdings.
A clear view of token distribution helps you make informed decisions about how to interact with your holders and organize future campaigns.
Using NFT Studio as an Integrated Workflow
By using these tools in sequence, creators can efficiently manage every stage of their NFT project—from ensuring metadata compliance, to analyzing rarity, assessing risks, distributing tokens, and tracking ownership.
Whether you’re just starting your NFT journey or are managing an established collection, NFT Studio’s toolset provides a comprehensive workflow that saves time and reduces complexity.
