Frequently Asked Questions

House of Joshi Launchpad is a premier NFT launchpad platform on the Base blockchain that allows creators to easily create, launch, and mint generative NFT collections with royalty-themed aesthetics.

Prepare transparent PNG files for each trait, connect your wallet, open Launchpad, enter the collection details, upload and order your layers, set rarity weights, generate a preview, and deploy on Base.

Use artwork with identical canvas dimensions and transparent backgrounds. Each folder or layer should represent one category, such as Background, Body, Clothing, Eyes, or Headwear. Align every trait to the same canvas before uploading and place layers in back-to-front drawing order.

A trait weight controls how often it is selected relative to other traits in the same layer. A higher weight makes a trait more common; a lower weight makes it rarer. The preview audit estimates collection utilization before deployment.

The generator creates deterministic DNA from the selected traits and rejects duplicate combinations. Your maximum supply cannot exceed the combinations available from your layers, and restrictive rules can reduce the valid total.

House of Joshi Launchpad operates on the Base blockchain, which provides fast transactions, low fees, and high security for NFT deployments.

Yes. You can configure ERC-2981 royalty information up to 10%. Royalty payment depends on whether the marketplace honors the ERC-2981 standard; the contract cannot force every marketplace to pay it.

The current HOJNFTGen factory fee is 0.0001 ETH per collection, plus the Base network gas fee shown by your wallet. The launchpad reads the platform fee directly from the factory contract before deployment.

The connected creator wallet owns the newly created collection contract. The House factory creates it and immediately transfers ownership to the creator; House of Joshi does not own the creator’s collection.

The collection owner can update the mint price, mint window, base metadata URI, collection metadata URI, and allowlist root, as well as withdraw available mint proceeds. Maximum supply and per-wallet limits are fixed when the collection is created.

IPFS is decentralized content-addressed storage. The launchpad uses IPFS URIs for collection and token metadata so the NFT contract points to durable content rather than files tied to one web server. Creators should keep their content pinned.

Deployment creates a working onchain ERC-721 contract immediately. Source-code verification is a separate BaseScan step handled after deployment and can require an Etherscan API key. A collection still exists onchain even if its source is awaiting verification.

Read the wallet or launchpad error before retrying. Common causes include the wrong Base network, insufficient ETH for the platform fee and gas, an unconfigured factory address, invalid collection settings, or rejected wallet approval. A reverted transaction does not create a collection.

Open Dashboard with the creator wallet to view collections saved by the launchpad and access their mint pages. Blockchain explorers remain the source of truth for contract ownership and transaction history.

Use this guide first, then visit the Contact page if you need help with artwork preparation, wallet connection, IPFS, contract deployment, or verification.

Yes, but only owner-controlled settings exposed by the contract can change. The collection name, symbol, maximum supply, and maximum mint-per-wallet are fixed. Mint price, mint window, metadata URIs, and allowlist root can be updated by the owner.
