Create a market
Create an unverified market
Requirements for listing:
Market admin must hold at least 50k veHONEY
NFT collection must use metaplex standard
Collection must have a Switchboard oracle or create one
Step 1 - Create a market
This will act as the name for your market.
It can be changed at a later date by creating a pull request on github and pinging the Honey Labs team in our discord's builders channel.
This field allows the team and community to fill in any missing information about your collection by querying Magic Eden or your Solana marketplace of choice.
It isn't used to run any of Honey's infrastructure, but instead ties your market to an existing collection.
Using collections supported by Magic Eden makes creating an oracle much easier down the road, as you will be able to query floor prices via Magic Eden's API.
Most NFTs using Metaplex's NFT standard will have one or more addresses listed as verified creators.
Usually, this address will point to the candy machine which minted the NFTs.
How to find the verified creator ?
We recommend going to Magic Eden and finding the page associated to this particular collection.
Once on that page, view the details page for that NFT. On the NFT's page, you can scroll down to details and find a field called Mint address. You can then pick whichever explorer you feel most comfortable with, this example uses Solscan:
On the explorer page for the NFT, you'll find a field called Creators. This will show the distribution of royalties, with the check mark indicating that a creator address is a verified creator address.
In most cases, the verified creator with 0% royalties will be the candy machine used to mint the NFT. Select this address and input it into Honey's market creation tool.
Which verified creator to pick ?
In cases where your NFT collection has multiple verified creators, we recommend using the candy machine address.
If your verified creator address is used by more than 1 collection, you should NOT use it. As other collections sharing the verified creator address could then be used as collateral in your market.
Using the candy machine of a particular collection reduces this risk.
Step 2 - Setup an oracle
Step 1 - Switchboard
Navigate to app.switchboard.xyz and select the NFT Floor Price (SOL) card in the popular collections list.
Step 2 - Pick template
Select any pre-made option. For this example, we will use the Solana Monkey Business Floor Price template which you can find here.
Select the template by clicking the Add to Cart button followed by the Configure feed button in your cart.
Step 3 - Configure your template
Start by naming your new price feed. Get this out of the way right now so you don't forget to do it later:
For this example, we'll create a price feed for the Anon Club NFT collection, and will thus name our new price feed Anon Club Floor Price.
We now need to edit our feed to track Anon Club instead of SMBs.
Click on the three dots menu item, and this time navigate to theView Details button. You'll notice that this template is fetching the SMB floor from 3 different sources (SMB marketplace, SolanaFloor, and Magic Eden).
Step 4 - Edit price feeds
Once you are on the View Details modal of your price oracle, you should see an option to Edit Feed at the bottom right corner.
This will allow us to input the sources which will inform the oracle about the collection's floor price.
In our case, most of the volume for the Anon Club collection goes through Magic Eden, so we will get rid of the SMB marketplace price feed and the SolanaFloor price feed.
We're now left with our Magic Eden price feed. If you click Test you'll see the floor price of SMB in SOL. To change this, swap the names of the Magic Eden collection:
https://api-mainnet.magiceden.dev/v2/collections/solana_monkey_business/stats
Becomes:
https://api-mainnet.magiceden.dev/v2/collections/<YOUR_COLLECTION_NAME>/stats
Check Magic Eden's link for your NFT collection, and use the same suffix. In our Anon Club example, Magic Eden uses the link: https://magiceden.io/marketplace/888_anon_club so we replace <YOUR_COLLECTION_NAME> with 888_anon_club.
Now if we click Test, we should get the floor price of Anon Club.
Step 5 - Checkout
Once you are done configuring your price feeds, add it to your cart, and proceed to checkout.
Before you fund the oracle, you will need to tell Switchboard how long you want to fund it for, and how frequently you want it to update. The more often the oracle updates, the more expensive it will be.
Lowering values such as Batch size will lower the cost of the oracle, as well as it's security.
You can decide how frequently you want your oracle to update it's price. This is up to you and should be a function of your collection's volatility, but we generally recommend keeping it under 1 hour.
You're all set ! You can now proceed checkout and fund the oracle with your phantom wallet.
Even if your collection has an oracle on Switchboard, it's strongly recommended that you create your own.
Two oracles should exist for a market, a price oracle, tracking a floor price API for a given collection, and a TWAP oracle, which averages the given price over a set period of time.
Step 1 - Switchboard
Navigate to app.switchboard.xyz and select the NFT Floor Price (SOL) card in the popular collections list.
Step 2 - Pick template
Select the option that corresponds to the floor price of your NFT collection.
