Collection Overview
In Startrail PORT, the feature that groups and displays SRRs (Startrail Registry Records) in custom categories is called a "Collection." This feature allows you to systematically organize issued SRRs and manage and display them more effectively.
What is a Collection?
A collection is a system for grouping related SRRs based on user-defined criteria and presenting them in a consistent format. Collection features have become standard in NFT marketplaces, and by implementing this feature, Startrail PORT has enhanced integration with external applications and made SRR management more flexible.
☝ Important: Collection administrators are license accounts, not individual accounts. Creating and managing collections can only be done through license accounts.
Main Benefits of the Collection Feature
- Systematic Organization: Group related SRRs by any criteria you choose
- Enhanced Discoverability: Grouping as collections makes it easier to discover related artworks
- Stronger Branding: Establish unique brand identity through collection names and symbols
- Enhanced External Integration: Support group display in external services like NFT marketplaces
- Efficient Management: Manage multiple SRRs collectively
Collection Components
Collections primarily include the following elements:
- Collection Name: A title representing the group (e.g., "Spring Season 2025")
- Symbol: A 3-6 character alphanumeric identifier (e.g., "SPRNG", "ART21")
- Description: Text explaining the collection's overview and characteristics
- Associated SRRs: List of SRRs (NFTs) included in the collection
In the NFT ecosystem, collection features are crucial elements that enhance users' artwork experience. By utilizing Startrail PORT's collection feature, you can achieve more flexible NFT artwork expression and management than ever before.
Differences from General NFT Collections
Startrail PORT's collection feature shares the same basic concept as collection features on general NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, but has the following distinctive characteristics:
- Built on Startrail's robust infrastructure, ensuring artwork reliability and authenticity
- Licensed users as issuers can create and manage their own collections
- SRRs belonging to collections can record richer artwork information and provenance data than typical NFTs
