Recommended Configuration Combination

Recommended because it has been tested and works well. Web3 interoperability is not exactly a reality unfortunately.

What You Need Before You Start

  • Your Twitter login and password

  • Crypto Wallet that supports WalletConnect

  • One or more photos you want to use as NFT images.

    • Have them in your camera roll or phone Gallery.

  • A few nice words to share with your fans

Install and Sign in

This will take you to the Collection page, but we need a bit more info if you are going to be an artist. Navigate to the Profile Page using the Profile button.

Since Graflr uses your social media identity to sign autographs and collectibles, tap the Twitter icon to sign into your Twitter account.

There is a quick page to let you know that Graflr is just reading info from your account, we are not asking for posting permissions etc. Tap 'I am ready!' to continue.

You should see a standard Twitter login page. Enter you login credentials and 'Authorize app'

You should now be logged in and redirected to the Edit Collectibles page:

Collectible Setup

Collectibles in Graflr are basically traditional photo NFTs. As the artist, you provide a picture, a title, and description. Graflr will do the "drop" to you fans, and help you fans Mint those collectibles to NFTs.

Configure the photo

Tap the right hand arrow on the Media line to select your collectible photo from you phone's camera roll or gallery.

There will be a quick reminder that you should own the rights to any photo you intend to share with your fans (and mint to NFTs.)

  • Select you photo, and wait for the image to be uploaded to the Graflr servers. (This is the pink circular progress indicator.) Here I chose a nice rock photo. I will give it a title next.

Type in your title. And tap the return arrow in the upper left hand corner.

Similarly configure a description.

That's all you need to share a collectible. There are some more things to understand. So we will continue a bit more. Scrolling down you see Drop Rate.

Drop Rate

If you only intend to share one collectible. you don't need to worry about drop rate and can skip down to Royalties.

Every user will receive the same collectible (100% chance.). When you configure additional collectibles, Graflr will automatically vary the probability of a given card to be delivered or "dropped." You can add additional cards to configure using the three button menu in the upper right hand corner. Here you can see there is a second tab that has a slightly less common card.

With two collectibles configured the drop rates change

  • 57% to get the solid grey diamond "Common"

  • 42% to get the divided diamond "Uncommon"

Royalties

Graflr is about supporting artists. In order to receive any royalties from future NFT sales, you need to connect a Crypto wallet so that Graflr knows what wallet address to assign royalties. No cryptocurrency is required for the artist or the fan who received the NFT. Tap 'Connect to Wallet' to proceed.

NOTE: Graflr will never ask you for your private key, or crypto payments of any type. All payments to Graflr are managed via the App Stores via optional in-app purchases..

Connecting your wallet does not authorize Graflr to do anything, but read the wallet and network you selected to share will Graflr.

From your wallet app (Rainbow Shown)

  1. Select the wallet to use with Graflr

  2. Select the network to use with Graflr (Keep it Ethereum for now, but Polygon will be supported soon.)

  3. Tap Connect to continue.

You should now see royalties!

If you want to review your wallet connection settings you can find them again in

Profile -> The cog icon (Settings) -> Wallet. There you can verify you are on the correct network. Here you can see the wallet is on the Rinkeby Test Network.
