Platform Documentation

1. Making your NFT collection visible

When you mint your first contest-winner NFT, the token lives on Solana immediately. But for it to show up as a proper “collection” on NFT marketplaces (with a banner, description, verified checkmark, etc.), you need to register with each marketplace separately. This is a one-time task per community.

Magic Eden (most important)

Magic Eden has a self-service Creator Hub:

1. Visit creators.magiceden.io
2. Connect the Treasury Wallet (NOT the Minter) — this proves you're the owner
3. Click “Create Collection”, select Solana mainnet, pick “Existing collection”
4. Paste your on-chain Collection address (from your admin panel → Collections page → copy from the “Minted” badge)
5. Add banner, description, social links (Twitter, Discord, website)
6. Submit for review. Most communities verified within 24h.

Without this step: your NFTs appear as “Unverified Collection” and floor price / volume stats won't aggregate. Do this before announcing your first contest.

Tensor

Tensor is the other major Solana NFT marketplace (higher-end trader base). Their verification is Discord-based:

1. Join tensor.trade Discord
2. Open a ticket in the #creator-support channel
3. Provide: Collection address, Treasury wallet, Twitter / Website, short description
4. They verify on-chain ownership + check the on-chain metadata

Tensor is stricter than Magic Eden about collection quality — they want a real community with real trading interest before listing. Come with traction, not just a brand-new collection.

Solscan + Helius + DAS (automatic)

These indexers crawl every on-chain transaction and auto-list your NFTs. No action needed — your NFTs are already visible at:

• solscan.io — Solana block explorer, most-used
• solanafm.com — alternative explorer
• Helius DAS API — used by wallets (Phantom, Solflare) to show NFTs in user wallets. Nothing to do, happens automatically.

Other platforms to consider

• Phantom Wallet: if users hold your NFT, it appears in their wallet UI automatically
• DRiP Haus (drip.haus): free NFT distribution platform — good for growth campaigns
• Fungi: NFT-focused mobile-first marketplace
• Exchange.art: curated, more art-focused

2. Content policy + your responsibility

What the platform enforces automatically

• NSFW detection: every submission runs through nsfwjs before being published. Scores above 70% are auto-rejected, 30–70% go to human review, below 30% go live automatically.
• Duplicate image detection (coming soon): prevents the same meme being farmed across multiple contests.
• Platform suspension: we (platform operators) can suspend any community that violates our Terms of Service. Hosted content disappears, wallet stays intact.

What YOU as community owner must do

• Set + enforce your own content rules. Publish them on your community's page. What counts as OK content in your community?
• Appoint moderators. The admin panel has a Moderators section — invite trusted community members to help triage the submission queue. Their role is approve/reject only, nothing else.
• Review the NSFW Review queue daily during active contests. The automated check catches obvious cases; borderline ones land in review.
• Handle DMCA / takedown requests. If someone claims a submitted meme infringes their copyright, you as community owner must respond. We will forward any claims that reach the platform to you.
• Comply with local laws. If your community targets a specific country, you need to follow that country's rules on content, gambling-like mechanics (voting with payments could trigger in some jurisdictions), etc.

What triggers a platform-level intervention

• Child safety issues → immediate suspension + law enforcement report
• Illegal content (revenge porn, stolen/leaked material, etc.)
• Explicit hate speech / dehumanisation of protected groups
• Attempts to use the platform for scam coin pumps, rugpulls, or pyramid-like schemes
• Abuse of our infrastructure (DDoS, mass-uploading, etc.)

Platform-level suspension is instant, without notice for the above categories. See our Terms of Service for the full list.

3. NFT standard: what we actually mint

Short version: Metaplex Core, fully on-chain, immutable after mint, with marketplace-enforced royalties. This is the modern standard (2024+) on Solana, chosen deliberately over older approaches.

Where every SOL flow goes — one table

The technical stack

Why these choices

Metaplex Core, not legacy Token Metadata

Legacy (Token Metadata) NFTs require 3+ accounts per NFT (mint, metadata, edition) + cost ~0.012 SOL to mint. Core uses a single account per NFT, costs 1/4th, and is the direction Metaplex is actively developing. Marketplace support caught up in 2024. There's no reason to mint legacy NFTs in 2026.

ImmutableMetadata + AddBlocker

Two on-chain plugins, enabled at mint time, that make the NFT collector-trustable:

• ImmutableMetadata: the NFT's name + metadata URI can never be changed. Not by you, not by the platform, not by anyone. Once minted, the image + attributes are locked forever.
• AddBlocker: no new plugins can ever be added to the NFT. This guarantees the NFT's on-chain behaviour is frozen — no one can suddenly add a freeze/seize capability later.

Trade-off we accepted: this means we can never retroactively add a new Metaplex plugin (e.g., a new marketplace integration plugin in 2028) to already-minted NFTs. Collectors get rock-solid guarantees in exchange for reduced future flexibility. For contest-winner NFTs where provenance matters, that's the right trade-off.

ProgramAllowList for royalties

Solana royalties are enforced by the marketplace program, not the token itself. Our Royalties plugin uses a ProgramAllowList that says: only Magic Eden v2, Tensor Marketplace, Tensor AMM, and Tensor Swap can transfer this NFT on sale. All of these programs honour the 5% royalty. Transfers through any other marketplace are simply blocked (not just royalty-free — blocked entirely).

This is the same approach Compressed NFTs tried and failed at. On Core, it works because Core's on-chain logic directly checks the allowlist at transfer time.

Arweave for metadata storage

Metadata (the JSON with image, traits, etc.) lives on Arweave — a “permaweb” protocol where data is stored in perpetuity after a one-time payment. This matches the NFT's own permanence guarantees. IPFS would also work, but Arweave's payment model is simpler and the uptime is good.

What collectors can verify themselves

• Via Solscan: look up any NFT on Solscan, scroll to the “Plugins” tab. You should see: Royalties (bp=500, ProgramAllowList with 4 entries), Attributes, ImmutableMetadata, AddBlocker.
• Via Metaplex Explorer: core.metaplex.com — paste the NFT address, see all plugins + state.
• On-chain directly: any wallet / program can read the asset account and verify the plugin set. No off-chain trust needed.

SOL Lottery (optional)

Separate from the Lucky Draw NFTs. If enabled, the admin can click “SOL Lottery” on a closed contest to draw one random voter and send them SOL.

• Who pays: YOU. The SOL is drawn from your Minter Wallet, not the platform.
• Default amount: 0.007 SOL (~$1), configurable 0–0.1 SOL in /admin/settings.
• Enable / disable: one toggle per community in /admin/settings. New orgs default to enabled.
• Fund the Minter: if you want to run lotteries, keep enough SOL in the Minter to cover contests × amount + mint costs.

4. Running your community (admin ops)

First steps after onboarding

1. Fund your Minter Wallet: send ~0.1 SOL to the minter address shown in /admin/settings. This covers Arweave uploads + on-chain mints for your first ~30 NFTs, plus any SOL Lottery payouts you plan to run.
2. Set your Treasury Wallet: admin → Settings. This is where submission fees, vote fees, and secondary-market royalties flow. You control this wallet directly — we never touch it.
3. Configure fees: in the same Settings page, pick your submission fee (0 – 0.1 SOL) and vote fee (0 = free voting). Also decide whether to enable the SOL Lottery and at what amount.
4. Customise branding: admin → Settings — set your logo, primary color, description.
5. Invite moderators: admin → Moderators — add trusted community members to help with the submission queue.
6. Create your first Collection: admin → Collections → “New Collection”. This becomes the on-chain grouping your NFTs will belong to.
7. Mint the Collection on-chain: click “Mint On-Chain” on the Collection detail page. Costs ~0.005 SOL (from your Minter).
8. Register with Magic Eden (optional but recommended): see section 1 above.
9. Create your first Contest: admin → Contests → “New Contest”. Link it to the Collection you just made.

Moderation workflow (for admins + mods)

The Moderation page (/admin/submissions) shows all submissions awaiting review. Use keyboard shortcuts to fly through:

• J / K — next / previous
• A — approve
• R — reject
• X — add to bulk selection, then Enter to bulk-approve
• ? — show shortcut help

Billing + subscription

49 USDC per month after the 30-day trial. Pay via admin → Billing: send USDC to the platform wallet with the required memo, paste the tx signature in the verify form. We confirm on-chain within seconds.

If you miss a payment: 5-day grace period where the site still works for reads but new contests + manual mints are blocked. After grace: full suspension, can be reactivated anytime by paying.
