ZNS Connect's new NFT Collection Creator deploys fully mintable collections on 14 networks — no code required. Upload image, set parameters, deploy, earn 50% of every mint fee permanently.

The new Create NFT tool on ZNS Connect is the simplest path from "I have an image" to "I have a deployed, publicly mintable NFT collection on a live blockchain." No smart contract knowledge required. No marketplace account needed. No code.
The creation flow takes 60 seconds: enter a collection name and symbol, write a description, upload your collection image, choose your network, set edition size (how many NFTs can be minted), set royalty percentage, and decide whether the token is soulbound (non-transferable). Click Deploy Collection.
Once deployed, the collection has its own live page on ZNS showing mint activity, total minted vs. max supply, and minting interface. Anyone with a wallet can mint from your collection directly. You earn 50% of every mint fee — passively, as long as minting continues.
The example collection deployed during testing — ZugChain Network (ZUG) on Base — launched at 0.0001 ETH per mint with a 999 edition size. Minting activity started immediately and is visible in real time at https://zns.bio/nft/f0a39d04-78b2-4b57-9bb7-96285044592e.
Deploy your NFT collection on-chain in one click. Earn 50% of mint fees. The collection page goes live instantly — public, mintable, and permanent.

ZNS Connect NFT Collection Creator — deploying a custom NFT collection on Base blockchain with configurable edition size, royalties and soulbound option in 2026
Every parameter in the collection creator is configurable. Here's what each setting does and recommended values for different use cases:
| Parameter | What It Controls | Airdrop Farmer Use | Creator Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name + Symbol | Collection identity on-chain | Chain/project name (e.g. ZugChain / ZUG) | Brand name + ticker |
| Description | Shown on collection page | Include project links, context | Collection story, rarity info |
| Edition Size | Max NFTs mintable (0 = unlimited) | 999 — enough for community, not oversaturated | Match your audience size |
| Price (ETH) | Mint fee per token | 0.0001 ETH — minimal barrier | Price to match perceived value |
| Royalties % | % you earn on secondary sales | 0% for farming signal focus | 5–10% for commercial collections |
| Soulbound | Non-transferable if enabled | Enable — stronger identity signal | Disable for tradeable NFTs |
Soulbound collections serve a dual purpose for airdrop farmers: they create an on-chain identity artifact (the NFT is permanently tied to the wallet that mints it) while also being easier to distribute since recipients can't dump or transfer them away. Several protocols give extra eligibility weight to wallets holding soulbound tokens from community projects.

NFT collection creator parameters — edition size, royalties, soulbound settings in ZNS Connect for deploying custom collections on 14 blockchain networks in 2026
NFT collection deployment is available on 14 networks — a mix of established mainnets and high-priority testnets for protocols approaching launch:
| Mainnet Networks | Testnet Networks |
|---|---|
| Base, Ink, Unichain, Soneium, ETH, BSC, Plasma, Mega + more | Robinhood, Arc, Push Donut, Rise, Tempo, DataHaven, Zugchain, Kiichain, Fluent, OPN, Neura, X1EcoChain, Giwa |
The Testnet toggle in the interface switches between mainnet and testnet network lists instantly. Creating collections on testnet networks costs zero — testnet tokens from faucets cover gas, and the collection is permanently on-chain.
The ZugChain example collection is live and mintable now — a working demonstration of the full creation flow. Mint one to see how the collection page experience works before creating your own.
