Sales

A primary sale runs through the shared fixed-price minter, a single ownerless contract per chain that serves every project. Only the fixed-price minter ships now; see Minting for the protocol model.

Sales run against a collection. A 1/1 has no minter, so to sell a single piece, deploy a one-token collection (abx deploy-series --count 1).

Configure and buy

  • abx minter configure <token> --price <eth> --allocation <n>: set the price and how many tokens this minter may sell for the project. Use --price-raw <units> for exact base units, and --erc20 0x... to price in an ERC-20 instead of ETH. Only the token owner can configure.
  • abx minter show <token>: the sale terms, whether the minter is assigned on the token, the payee, the pause state, and supply.
  • abx minter buy <token> [--to 0x...]: buy one token. An ERC-20 sale needs a prior approval to the minter.

Wiring a collection for sale

A sale needs two separate grants, both from the project owner, plus a payee. Run them in this order:

  1. abx minter configure <token> ...: set the sale terms on the minter.
  2. abx set-minter <token> --minter <address>: authorize that minter on the token.
  3. abx set-primary-payee <token> --payee 0x...: set the payout address. A sale reverts without one.
  4. abx unpause <token>: open minting. Run this last.

"Configured" on the minter and "assigned" on the token are different grants; a sale needs both. Use abx set-max-invocations <token> --max <n> to lower the supply cap, which only decreases, and abx pause <token> to return to owner-only minting.

Mint page

abx mint-page <token> scaffolds a self-contained mint site for the fixed-price minter, ready to deploy to a static host. It reads the sale state and images directly from the chain. Sales are in ETH in this version.
