Dear Bankless Nation,

Earlier this summer I went through you how to use Bueno to generate and distribute your own PFP NFT collection.

But what if you don’t know how to create your own website to launch your new coin through?

No need to worry, as there are a handful of no-code resources available that make it easy to create a basic user interface for your NFT smart contract.

For today Metaversallet’s go through these resources and highlight some things to look for if you try them.

In July 2022, Andy Chorlian released Battle Royale, a PVP game on the chain, as a weekend experiment. The project was a simple affair, so Chorlian simply dropped the game’s smart contract into it mint.fun to generate a user interface that players can use. Voila! Thus, the game could quickly begin.

You can also do the same with your recently deployed NFT project. You would just copy the smart contract’s address to the end of www.mint.fun/, and after a few upgrades the UI automatically generates coin button(s) for your collection. Boom, no custom website needed!

In addition, your mint.fun collection page will display key statistics such as unique minters, top minters, coin rate and more.

Earlier this year, web3 publishing project Mirror introduced Midwit, a generative UI tool that works with all smart contracts on Ethereum plus Arbitrum and Optimism L2s.

Using Midwit is very easy. Let’s say you’re writing your mint announcement post with the Mirror text editor. Press the Enter key to start a new line, then press / key and select the “Contract function” option.

Doing this will bring up a UI bubble that you need to fill in, so paste in your contract address, select your desired network, then select the appropriate contract feature to display. For example, if you’re using a Bueno-generated NFT collection, select “mint” here and select the “Show Feature” option so people can easily enter how many NFTs they want to buy.

After you’re done configuring your parameters, you’ll have a simple coining interface built right into the heart of your Mirror post, which you can then publish and share around.

Are you a fan of Curve’s retro UI design? Then you might enjoy Eth95.exe, a Windows 95-themed UI that you can use with any Ethereum smart contract. The charm and feel of this tool won’t be right for every NFT project, but it offers all the basics you need from a minting interface if you want to use something other than Etherscan directly.

Built by Devin Abbot, Studio 721 Mint is another free UI builder tool that NFT creators can check out. The first release is experimental, and Abbot has recommended trying it out via the testnet first, but the system is certainly an easy way to customize a streamlined mint page.

A grant project being developed by Max Georgopoulos is Shape, which allows users to “turn any smart contract into a form.” Since Formie is so young, you can’t currently edit or delete your forms, but the site allows you to create as many forms as you want, and the creation process feels very smooth. The project is therefore worth keeping on the radar!
