So You Fractionalized Your NFT. Now What?

Would you like to somehow get these NFT fractions out into the world? If so, some popular options to do this include, but are not limited to:

  • Sending them to friends to split and share ownership of an NFT
  • Airdropping them to community members or owners of certain tokens
  • Providing liquidity to a decentralized exchange (DEX)

Many folks may be unfamiliar with the last option, so if you’d like to allow people to use other tokens to buy fractions of the NFT, here’s how you can do that:

Provide liquidity on a DEX

Begin by heading to your vault’s page on fractional.art and also loading either https://app.uniswap.org/#/pool or https://app.sushi.com/pool in a separate window to access the ability to make a new pool.

  1. Add your token to Metamask

2. Go to Etherscan to get your contract address

3. Copy the contract address

4. Select ‘Pool’ and then create a new position on Sushi.com or Uniswap.org. In this example, we’re using Uniswap v3.

5. Click “Select Token”, paste the contract address from step 3 to import your token

5. Set up your pool. Here you will need to select a fee tier (generally 1% is recommended), then decide on a price for your new token in ETH. This really is a case-by-case thing that cannot be standardized. You will also need to decide on the range in which you provide liquidity. Based on your answer here you may need to provide one or both assets to the pool.

Below is an example pool setup where HOODIE tokens are 0.0131318 ETH. The price range provided is 0.013 to 0.01518. The min price should be 1% or less than the current floor when setting up your initial liquidity pool. This allows the pool to stay in range and allows others to buy into your liquidity.

NOTE: Gas fees can be as high as $300–$2000 to set up a liquidity pool

If you are receiving an ‘insufficient liquidity’ error, you may need to provide a very small amount of ETH (<0.01) in addition to the fractions in the pool

6. Approve and then deploy! Now you have liquidity for people to buy and collect the fractions
