Using the Drops System

A guide to using the PrimePort drops system

The Drops system on PrimePort allows creators to launch NFT collections with configurable mint schedules, whitelist phases, and pricing waves. For collectors, it's the primary way to mint NFTs at primary sale prices before they reach secondary market.

Note: The Drops system currently operates on XDC Network.

For Collectors. Minting a Drop

Finding Active Drops

Go to primeport.xyz/drops and select the Active tab. Each drop card shows the collection name, mint price, and creator.

Minting

Open a drop and click Mint. Select the quantity you want to mint, confirm you meet any whitelist requirements if applicable, and click Confirm. Approve the transaction in your wallet.

Minted NFTs will appear in your profile immediately after the transaction confirms on-chain.

Upcoming Drops

The Upcoming tab lists drops that have not yet opened for minting. Check back on the listed launch date or follow the project's socials for whitelist announcements.

Past Drops

The Past tab shows completed drops. Click any past drop to view the collection on the secondary marketplace.

For Creators. Launching a Drop

Step 1. Apply for Access

Drops are permissioned. Connect your wallet to PrimePort and click Create A Drop in the bottom-right corner. Fill out the application form — this is sent to the PrimePort team for review.

Applications take a minimum of 48 hours to process. The team may request a call to verify project authenticity.

Step 2. Access My Drops

Once approved, disconnect and reconnect your wallet. A My Drops option will appear in your profile menu above Sign Out. Click it to enter the drop management dashboard.

Step 3. Configure General Settings

Click your drop and fill in the General section:

Name, symbol, and description
Mint dates and total quantity
Collection image
Image hosting: toggle on to let Prime Numbers manage your images via IPFS, or toggle off to self-host

Hit Update before navigating away, unsaved changes are lost.

Step 4. Deploy Your Smart Contract

Go to the Contract tab and click New Contract. Confirm the deployment transaction in your wallet. Once confirmed, your collection contract is live on XDC Network.

Step 5. Set Earnings Address

In the Earnings section, enter the wallet address where mint proceeds should be sent. Save and confirm the transaction.

Step 6. Upload Collection Assets

Gallery — Up to four preview images shown on the drop page
Team — Add team member names, roles, and photos
More Info — Spotlight one NFT with detailed description; add a collection banner
FAQ — Add anticipated questions and answers for your community
NFTs — Upload NFTs individually or in bulk via the CSV template. The quantity here must match the number set in General, or scheduling will fail

Step 7. Update the Smart Contract (Critical)

In Important Settings, press both buttons in order:

Update Metadata → confirms with "Updated base URL"
Update Total NFT → confirms with "Updated max supply"

Both transactions must be confirmed in your wallet. Skipping either step will cause your drop to malfunction at mint time.

Step 8. Schedule Your Drop

Go to the Schedule section. If it shows an error, your NFT count in the NFTs section does not match the quantity in General — fix that first.

Click Create New to define a schedule. You can configure:

Whitelist phase — restrict early minting to specific wallet addresses
Pricing waves — lower prices during early windows to reward fast minters
Public phase — open minting start date and time

Click Create to save the schedule. Your drop will now appear in the Upcoming section of the Drops page.

Gas Costs

XDC Network gas fees are near-zero. Deploying a contract, updating metadata, and scheduling a drop costs a negligible amount of XDC in total.
