Arkena Docs

Apply for creator access

Submit your collection for review. Once approved, you receive a one-time invite that unlocks /create.

Launching on Arkena is a vetted flow. You apply with your collection brief, the team reviews it, and you receive a single-use invite code that unlocks arkena.io/create.

The application form is wallet-less — you verify ownership with X (Twitter) and fill in the brief. Once approved, the invite arrives via the email you supplied; from there you create the collection on-chain with your own wallet.

  1. Open the apply form

    Head to arkena.io/apply.

  2. Verify your X account

    Click Sign in with X at the top of the form. Each application is tied to a single X handle — one pending submission per account. Until X is verified the rest of the form stays hidden.

  3. Fill in the form

    Required fields are marked with a red asterisk; the rest are optional but help the review. A live preview panel on the right of the form updates as you type, so you can see how the collection card will read on the launchpad.

    Required

    • Collection name — what holders will see on the launchpad.
    • Description — concept, story, what you're building. Up to 1000 characters.
    • NFT images — between one and five sample images that represent the visual direction. JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 5 MB each.
    • Email — where the invite arrives once you're approved.

    Optional but recommended

    • Estimated mint date — free-form text. A target month, a quarter, or TBA is fine.
    • Supply, price (CC), royalty % — your current plan. Leave blank if you're still deciding; the binding values are entered on-chain in the launch wizard, not here.
    • Project Links — official channels for the collection (Discord, Telegram, Website, X, Other). Each link type can only be added once except Other.
    • Team Links — personal handles for team members. X and Other are available.
  4. Submit

    Send the application. You'll see a confirmation with a reference ID — that's all the action needed in the browser. The next signal is the invite email.

Managing your applications

A small My Applications button appears next to the doc link once you have at least one submission. Open it to:

  • See every application you've submitted on this X handle, each tagged with a status pill (pending / approved / rejected).
  • Click any row to view the full detail with all the fields you sent.
  • Edit or Cancel Application are available only while the application is still pending. Edit reopens the form pre-filled (sample images stay attached and can be swapped individually); Cancel pulls the submission out of the review queue — there is no recovery, you'd have to submit a new one.
  • Approved and rejected applications open as read-only; rejections include a short note from the admin team explaining why.

What happens next

We read the project description, click through the team's X profiles and the project's socials, and reverse-image-search the sample artwork against collections on Canton and other chains. Decisions typically land within a couple of business days; if something is unclear, we'll come back for more detail rather than reject outright.

When the invite arrives

The email contains a single-use code prefixed with CR-. The code is bound to one wallet on first use — once you claim it on the Launch a collection page, no one else can.
