Dear Bankless Nation,
Earlier this summer I walked you through how to use Bueno to generate and deploy your own PFP NFT collection.Â
But what if you donât know how to create your own webpage to launch your new mint through?
No worries, as there are a handful of no-code resources available that make it simple to create a basic UI for your NFT smart contract.Â
For todayâs Metaversal, letâs run through these resources and highlight some things you can look out for if trying them.Â

In July 2022, Andy Chorlian released Battle Royale, an on-chain PVP game, as a weekend experiment. The project was a no-frills affair, so Chorlian simply dropped the gameâs smart contract into mint.fun to generate a UI for players to mint through. Voila! Thus the game was able to quickly begin.Â
You could do the same with your newly deployed NFT project, too. Youâd just copy your smart contractâs address onto the end of www.mint.fun/, and after some mints the UI automatically generates mint button(s) for your collection. Boom, no bespoke webpage needed!Â
Additionally, your mint.fun collection page will show key stats like unique minters, top minters, minting velocity, and more.

Earlier this year, web3 publishing project Mirror introduced Midwit, a generative UI tool that works with any smart contract on Ethereum plus the Arbitrum and Optimism L2s.Â
Using Midwit is very easy. Letâs say youâre writing your mint announcement post with the Mirror text editor. Press the Enter key to start a new line, and then press the / key and select the âContract Functionâ option.Â
Doing this will bring up a UI bubble youâll need to fill out, so paste in your contract address, select your desired network, and then choose the appropriate contract function to display. For example, if youâre using a Bueno generated NFT collection youâll select âmintâ here and opt for the âShow Functionâ option so people can readily input how many NFTs they want to buy.Â
After youâre finished setting up your parameters, youâll have a simple minting interface embedded right in the heart of your Mirror post, which you can then publish and share around.Â

Are you a fan of Curveâs 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 wonât be right for every NFT project, but it does offer all the basics youâd need from a minting UI if youâre looking to use something other than Etherscan directly.Â

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

A grant project thatâs being built up by Max Georgopoulos is Formie, which lets users âturn any smart contract into a form.â Since Formie is so young you canât currently edit or delete your forms, but the site does let you create as many forms as youâd like, and the creation process feels very smooth. The projectâs worth keeping on your radar accordingly!
