# Collection Lifecycle #### 1. Create a Collection Creators configure a collection by defining: * NFT supply and mint price * Reward pool (SOL) * Reward tiers and probabilities * Collection duration Launching a collection creates a dedicated NFT collection.\ Core parameters are immutable after deployment. #### 2. Fund the Reward Pool * Creators fund the pool at launch * Mint fees flow directly into the same pool * Rewards are limited by the pool balance #### 3. Share the Collection * Creators share the collection or collection address * Users mint NFTs directly from the collection #### 4. On-Chain Execution * Mints, burns, and rewards are fully on-chain * All activity is publicly verifiable * No manual intervention is required #### 5. Settlement * After the collection ends, remaining SOL can be withdrawn * Past burns and rewards cannot be changed #### Summary Creators launch collections, users mint and burn NFTs, rewards are distributed automatically, and remaining funds can be withdrawn after the collection ends. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
