Special instructions for listing cNFTs
Listing cNFTs comes with its own set of requirements. Here are the specific steps to take into consideration:
MCC and Compression Tree
Unlike regular NFTs, for cNFTs, you must put the MCC in the "collection address" field. Then, in the Merkle Tree Addresses box, input the Merkle Tree addresses.
How to find the compression tree address
Visit Solscan: Navigate to Solscan.
Select an NFT: Open up an NFT from your compressed NFT collection and search for it on Solscan.
Navigate to Transactions: Click on transactions and click into the 1st transaction of the cNFT
Click the 1st down arrow: Click the 1st down arrow under Interact with program.
Find the tree address: You'll see an address listed under the "Merkle Tree" field in the metadata section. Copy this address.
Add to comments: Paste this copied address into the comments section of your listing on Creator Hub.
By following this guide, you'll be well-prepared for a successful listing on Magic Eden.
