HOW TO CREATE WHITEPAPER NFT COLLECTION
The whitepaper is one of the parts of our NFT Collection that really matters if we want to be taken seriously.
It should be made clear that having a good whitepaper will not imply success, but it will contribute to the overall picture, especially for serious investors who are not driven solely by hype.
Before I continue, I welcome you to the ninth chapter of the NFT Creation course. In this case we will talk about the NFT whitepaper, what key points it should have, how and where to create it and of course inspiration for your reference.
WHAT IS AN NFT WHITEPAPER
AWhitepaper is a document that explains in detail all the information of an NFT Project: lore, roadmap, objectives, utilities, tokenomics, team, etc.
In other words, it is the place where , in theory, investors go to find out about a project and see if it is worthwhile before investing.
It is also common for some projects to present a "litepaper". This is basically a shorter and more summarized version of the whitepaper.

WHAT SHOULD AN NFT COLLECTION WHITEPAPER HAVE?
This question is very ambiguous, it is as if we were asking what my website should have. The answer is very personal, but we can highlight some sections that we usually see in most whitepapers:
- Introduction
- Lore
- Roadmap
- Utilities
- Token
- Tokenomics/Funds Distribution
- Team
- Links
HOW TO CREATE NFT WHITEPAPER
Each project is different and follows different processes, but what I recommend for convenience, price (free), ease and above all because it is what we are most used to seeing is to use Gitbook.
In gitbook we will be able to create our whitepaper in a simple way, separated by sections, ordered, which will give us a very good result despite not having a very good sense of aesthetics.
Let's go directly to the step by step, I recommend you to watch this part in video format, as it will be much more comprehensive and visual. In the written version I will only explain the simplest and most general modifications, without going deeper into each option.
CREATE NFT WHITEPAPER STEP BY STEP
The first thing we must do is to access gitbook.com and create our account, the registration is completely normal. Then we will get to our empty document, where we can start the customization.
Once therewe will start by creating a new "space" and we will go to its configuration in the lower left corner. There we will set the data of our personal profile and those of the document we are creating.
It will give us the option to customize name, domain, image, title, etc.
Once this is done we will go back and click on customize, just below the title. There we will customize some other general options.
After making these configurations we will be free to exploit our creativity by creating the different sections and writing all the information.
Remember to explain everything in detail, but don't be boring either. Make it dynamic with categories, sub-sections, insert images of the project, of the creative process, etc.
INSPIRATION FOR YOUR NFT WHITEPAPER
If you don't know how to guide you and prefer to have clear inspiration I invite you to take a look at the whitepaper we have created for Tillarys, the project we are launching during the course, to demonstrate everything we are teaching you. Here is the link: https://tillarys.gitbook.io
I also invite you to take a look at the whitepapers of projects that you have as a reference in terms of typology, style and usefulness. Many do not have a whitepaper or at least not easily accessible. Normally you will find it on their website.
CONCLUSION
It is important that we take care of the whitepaper, but we should not become obsessed either. It will be one more piece with which we build the success of our collection.
Not all projects have it, but if you do, do it right. Target the traffic you know will value it and focus your attention on the networks, it's the first part of the funnel.
Thanks for reading, see you in the next chapter!
