Using AtomicHub

Introduction

Now that we have created a collection, schema, and templates, and minted some NFTs, let’s explore how those NFTs will show up in the most popular NFT platform for WAX: AtomicHub.

What is AtomicHub

Throughout these tutorials, we’ve mentioned AtomicAssets as a contract that we have used to mint NFTs. Built on top of AtomicAssets is AtomicHub - a web-based marketplace that shows collections, templates, schemas, and NFTs.

For our purposes, we are going to work with the testnet version of AtomicHub: https://wax-test.atomichub.io/.

AtomicHub allows creators, collectors, and traders to buy, sell, and trade NFTs. It acts as a marketplace as well, letting users buy, sell, and bid on NFTs.

Interacting on AtomicHub

When we created out NFT on AtomicAssets, the collection, schemas, and templates automatically show up on AtomicHub. Here we can see the collection:

https://wax-test.atomichub.io/explorer/collection/wax-testnet/babychicknft.

You can see that the IPFS images that we set up before when creating our templates are being used and displayed on the AtomicHub site.

If we click on an asset, such as this one https://wax-test.atomichub.io/explorer/asset/1099558399043, we get to see the IPFS image and all of the details as well.

By using a template with a max minting, users also get to see a nice “3 of 3 (max: 100)” for the mint number. Some users covet having lower mint numbers, and knowing how many are left is important to understanding the market for the given collection and NFT.

Conclusion

In this section, we went over AtomicHub and how collections end up being displayed on it. Making sure you setup your collection correctly so that it displays all the relevant information on AtomicHub is important. It acts as the face of your NFT to most users and AtomicHub can serve as additional advertising for your project.
