#### 2. Fill in Your Collection Details

A pop-up form will appear asking for the following:

* **Collection Name**: The public name for your collection
* **Slug**: A URL-friendly version of your collection name (auto-filled, but editable)
* **Description**: A short explanation of what your collection is about
* **Category**: Choose the best fit (we’re always updating this — suggestions welcome!)
* **Cover Image & Banner**: Upload high-quality visuals to customize your collection’s appearance

> ⚠️ **Important:**
>
> * **Collection name and slug cannot be changed** after creation
> * The collection will be tied to your **default wallet** at the time of creation, and this **cannot be changed later**

#### 🔧 Set Your Default Wallet First

Before creating a collection, make sure your desired wallet is set as your **default wallet** — the collection will be permanently associated with it.
