# Create Collection

## **Creation Steps:**

### Step 1: Set Name and Symbol of Your Collection

* Choose a distinctive name and symbol that reflect the identity and theme of your NFT collection.

### Step 2: Set Header and Logo of Your Collection

* Customize the header and logo to establish a visual identity for your NFTs, reinforcing the collection's brand recognition.

### Step 3: SBT (Soulbound Token) Functionality

* Decide if the NFTs in your collection will be Soulbound Tokens (non-transferable and non-sellable) or regular NFTs. If opting for transferable NFTs, set resell royalties.

### Step 4: Maximum Supply

* Define the maximum supply of NFTs in your collection to maintain exclusivity.

### Step 5: Pre-Reveal Media (Only if maximum supply set)

* Optionally, determine if you want to provide pre-reveal media for your NFTs, such as preview images or descriptions.

### Step 6: Choose Minting Type - Lazy Mint vs. Standard Mint

* Decide between Lazy Mint (for pre-minted NFTs where users choose what to mint) and Standard Mint (where NFTs are minted by the creator).

### Step 7: Allow NFTs to be Burnable

* Choose whether to allow holders of your NFTs to burn (permanently destroy) their tokens
