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 sign in 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

    Go to arkena.io/apply. The page shows the brief on the left and a live preview of how your collection card will look on the right.

  2. Sign in with X

    Click Sign in with X to continue. A standard X OAuth handshake opens; on success the rest of the form unlocks. We use your X handle to verify ownership and to limit one pending submission per account.

  3. Fill in the brief

    The form asks for:

    • Display name — what holders will see.
    • Email — where the team sends the invite once approved.
    • Description — a short paragraph that frames the collection.
    • Portfolio link — anything that shows your past work counts: a personal site, prior drops on another chain, an X feed.
    • Why Arkena — one or two sentences on what you want to build here. This is the field reviewers actually read.

    All fields are required except the portfolio link. Live preview on the right updates as you type.

  4. Submit for review

    Hit Submit application. The form locks and the page flips to a pending review state with your submission timestamp and a reference ID.

    You can close the tab at this point — there's nothing to wait for in the browser. The next signal you'll get is the email with your invite code.

What happens after you submit

The review team looks at three things, in order:

  1. The brief — does the collection have a clear concept, and does it fit Arkena's tone?
  2. The portfolio — is there evidence you can ship the artwork?
  3. The wallet — is the X account distinctive enough to be plausibly yours? (We don't run KYC; we look for spam patterns.)

Decisions land in a few business days. Most rejections come down to the brief being too thin — the Why Arkena field carries a lot of weight. If yours is unclear, the team will ask you to refile with 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.
