You are using Supercollector to SELF-RELEASE music on a blockchain. If you are using your own wallet, and you lose access to your wallet we cannot retrieve admin access for you. If you are using our email-wallet option and lose access to the email you used we cannot reset the admin email. While we strive to support email wallets indefinitely the only true way to ensure access is to use your own wallet and regularly check your key phrase is secure and accessible by only you.

Your sales will be paid to the release contract, which you own, in ETH on OP Mainnet currency. There is a process and fees involved in converting this currency into your local currency. Please familiarise yourself with the process. 3rd party services like Beam can be set up automate your withdrawals, please do your own research.

When your release is approved, it should look like this in your Release Dashboard:

Firstly, double-check your release

Once your release is approved, visit your release page again from the link in your Release Dashboard (be sure to refresh the page if already open), and check the following:

1. Your Artist Name, Release Name, Track Names and ALL metadata text is exactly correct. Your release page will only show some of your metadata by default, you can view the full metadata by hitting “Check metadata” from your Release Dashboard.
2. Check the audio of every track by playing from the page.

If you wish to edit any information at this point Contact us, and we will take your release out of the approved state to make edits and you’ll need to re submit your release for approval.

Publish your release

Once you are completely happy that all info and audio is correct, you can continue with publishing.

<aside> ℹ️ Publishing a release on Supercollector involves you putting a smart contract on a blockchain that can autonomously sell ownership status of your work. You will be the owner and administrator of this contract, and so you cover the blockchain fees of “deploying” your release. The fee is the blockchain transaction fee and typically under $1 (of ETH on OP Mainnet currency). We suggest having at least $1 (of ETH on OP Mainnet currency) in your wallet to cover this cost (if it is higher, typically for releases with a high number of tracks, you will be told that your wallet has insufficient funds, in which case you need to add more).

</aside>

If you need some ETH on OP Mainnet currency, use the “Buy” feature offered by most wallet apps, be sure to be purchasing “ETH” specifically on “OP Mainnet”, for more help here feel free to Contact us. nb there may be a minimum purchase of currency, you’ll be able to withdraw any extra currency, but we suggest leaving a couple of $ in your wallet for publishing future releases.

When you are ready, hit the PUBLISH NOW button. You should receive a prompt in your wallet app or browser extension asking you to confirm the transaction, this is how it will look in Rainbow wallet app:

Once you hit Confirm, you should see a message on your dashboard and your release will be live. Now you can share your release page with your fans.
