How to launch an NFT collection on Bittensor EVM

Quick answer

Apply through the Elevate Discord with artwork, contract plans, team information and a timeline. After review, approved collections deploy a pre-configured ERC-721A contract and launch on Elevate.

Elevate is curated: creators apply, the team reviews, and only approved collections go live — with Elevate's infrastructure, tooling and name behind them. There is no application fee.

Who this is for

Creators and teams who want to launch on Bittensor EVM.

The process

  1. Apply
  2. Review
  3. Configure
  4. Deploy
  5. Launch
  6. Reveal
  7. Marketplace
  1. 1Apply — submit your project through Discord with artwork, contract plans, team information and a timeline.
  2. 2Review — the team verifies the team, the originality of the artwork and the integrity of the contract plan. This takes days, not weeks, and you hear back either way.
  3. 3Configure — agree phases (price, supply, wallet limits, timing), allowlist size, royalty receiver and rate, reveal plan and whether transfers start locked.
  4. 4Deploy — receive a deployment-ready ERC-721A contract with everything above pre-configured, named after your collection.
  5. 5Launch — go live on Elevate. The platform manages allowlist signing, monitors the mint in real time and shows on-chain progress on your collection page.
  6. 6Reveal — switch from the placeholder URI to the final metadata when you choose, and optionally freeze it.
  7. 7Marketplace — unlock transfers and open secondary trading with royalties enforced.

What to prepare

  • Artwork and metadata (or the plan for generating them).
  • A short, human description of the collection — who made it and what it is.
  • Team information and official channels (X, Discord, website).
  • Supply, phase schedule and prices in TAO.
  • Royalty receiver address and rate.
  • Reveal plan: placeholder assets and final metadata hosting.

What you get

  • Reviewed ERC-721A contract with ERC-2981 royalties, deployed per collection.
  • Multi-phase launches with independent pricing, supply caps and wallet limits.
  • Signature-based allowlist management — no merkle trees to regenerate.
  • Transfer lock to prevent day-one flipping, unlocked on your terms.
  • Hidden mint with reveal and optional permanent metadata freeze.
  • Discord integration for server management, invite tracking and whitelist tooling.
  • A public collection page with real-time on-chain mint data from day one.
