Questions
How do I connect my token to NFT staking?
After creating your token on SPL Token Launcher, set up a staking contract using tools like Cardinal or GemFarm. These let NFT holders stake their NFTs and earn your token as rewards.
What supply for an NFT project token?
Calculate based on: (daily emission per NFT) x (collection size) x (expected staking duration). For a 10K collection earning 10 tokens/day for 3 years: ~110M tokens minimum.
