NFT-backed editions are editions of a parent NFT that look similar to that NFT. Only the creator or owner of an NFT can make NFT editions. Creating NFT-backed editions involves moving the NFT to a smart contract, and then making editions.

Read on to find out how NFT-backed editions work on Nibbl and how to make and buy them.

How NFT-backed editions work on Nibbl

To editionize your NFT on Nibbl, you first lock it into a smart contract, then make ERC-20 ions of the NFT.

ION is short for Identity of NFTs. It’s a term we use to describe ERC-20 tokens that are obtained after an NFT is editionized. Ions behave like other ERC-20 tokens, so they are fungible, and compatible with Dapps and projects on Ethereum.

After making ions, you add details of the editions before wrapping them into ERC-1155 editions.

Editionizing your NFT into ERC-1155 editions on Nibbl gives you more functionalities and benefits like:

NFT-backed editions

Unlike other platforms, editions on Nibbl are fully backed by their parent NFT. Holders of the editions also have the opportuinity to buy out the parent NFT.

Ability to produce multiple NFT editions

Our ERC-1155 standard makes it possible to mint multiple editions of your single NFT.
These editions have varying similarities to the parent NFT.

Social proof

You can show off your ERC-1155 editions on social media platforms like Twitter. So you get the added benefit of proving to your friends and followers that you own interesting NFTs.

How to mint ERC-1155 editions from your ERC-20 ions
