Solana NFTs on Collab.Land: How It All Works

Solana NFTs come in many shapes and forms.

There are different standards, different filters, and different ways to identify your collection.

The good news? Collab.Land supports it all.

In this guide, we will walk through how to set up Token Gated Rules (TGRs) for every type of Solana NFT we support and help you choose the right configuration for your collection.

How does it work?

When creating a TGR for a Solana NFT, you will need to choose how your NFT is identified.

• Regular NFTs require selecting a filter
• Compressed NFTs (cNFTs) and Metaplex Core NFTs use a collection address

Getting started

The initial setup is the same for all Solana NFT types.

STEP ONE: Open the Command Center
Go to https://cc.collab.land

STEP TWO: Select your server
From the left panel, choose the server where you want to create the TGR

STEP THREE: Create a TGR
Click "TGRs" and then "+ Select Role"
Choose the Discord role you want to assign

STEP FOUR: Enter basic details

• Description: Internal description for your TGR
• Chain Type: Solana

From here, the setup will vary depending on the type of NFT you are working with.

Regular Solana NFTs

For regular NFTs, you will need to select a filter in the token details step.

Token configuration

• Token Type: Solana NFT
• Select a filter

Collab.Land offers two filters:

Creators

This is the most commonly used filter when working with a collection of NFTs.

To find the verified creator address:

1. Go to Solscan
2. Open any NFT from your collection
3. Navigate to the Metadata tab
4. Locate the Creators section
5. Copy the address that has "verified": 1 beneath it

Master Editions

Use this filter when specifying a group of limited editions.

To find the address:

• Use the mint address
• If it does not work as expected, try the collection key address

If you are unsure which filter to use, start with Creators, as it is the most commonly used option.

Compressed NFTs (cNFTs)

Compressed NFTs use a collection-based setup.

Token configuration

• Token Type: Solana cNFT
• Use the collections option
• Enter the "On-chain Collection" address
• Enter a max amount of tokens (optional)
• Click Save

Metaplex Core NFTs

Metaplex Core NFTs also use a collection-based setup.

Token configuration

• Token Type: Solana Metaplex Core NFT
• Enter the "On-chain Collection" address
• Enter a max amount of tokens (optional)
• Click Save

Finding the collection address

For collection-based setups, you will need the "On-chain Collection" address.

Option 1: Magic Eden

• Visit Magic Eden and navigate to your NFT collection
• Click on any NFT from the collection
• Locate the "On-chain Collection" address in the NFT details

Option 2: Solscan

• Visit Solscan
• Use the token address of the NFT collection

Note: Solscan does not always show Metaplex Core NFT holdings in your wallet.

You are all set!

Once your TGR is created, Collab.Land will assign roles to members who hold the correct NFTs.

Collab.Land token gating and membership verification operates as a read-only application. By signing a message to add a new wallet, you affirm ownership of that particular wallet address. Collab.Land solely accesses public blockchains to verify that a member’s wallet addresses are linked to the required tokens for role or group membership. Collab.Land maintains no access beyond reading public wallet addresses, which are transparent to all users.
