I launched a Solana NFT project using Candy Machine v2 and OpenSea picked it up automatically. Now I want to edit the collection information that shows up on OpenSea.
According to OpenSea docs, you should be able to modify collection details by connecting your creator wallet. But when I connect my wallet, the collection doesn’t appear in my dashboard.
My setup uses a CLI wallet that holds the update authority for the candy machine. I’m hesitant to import this CLI wallet into a browser extension because I’m worried it might break my ability to use sugar commands for future updates.
I’ve seen other Solana projects successfully customize their OpenSea collection pages, so there must be a way to do this. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? What’s the correct approach to edit collection metadata on OpenSea while keeping the CLI workflow intact?
I faced a similar challenge with my initial NFT collection as well. To modify the collection details on OpenSea, it’s essential to connect through a browser extension wallet, as CLI wallets typically don’t allow for this type of editing directly. My approach involved creating a keypair in Phantom, using sugar update_authority to shift the authority, and then proceeding to claim and edit the collection details. After completing the adjustments, I reverted the authority back to the CLI wallet. Just a tip: ensure you back up your keypair before starting, as the process is fairly swift and will not interfere with using sugar commands in the future. Keep in mind that any edits on OpenSea are only visual changes and do not affect the underlying on-chain metadata.
opensea support can help u verify ur collection manually if u provide proof. when my cli wallet had issues, i emailed them my candy machine address and tx hash. it took 3-4 days, but they gave me editing permissions without changing wallet authorities.
Interesting problem! When OpenSea “picked it up automatically”, did it use metadata from your candy machine config or pull from somewhere else?
I’m planning my own Solana project and this authority stuff confuses me too. You’re worried about importing your CLI wallet into a browser extension - why not create a separate wallet just for OpenSea management? Could you add that new wallet as a co-authority?
Also, have you tried searching for your collection directly in the OpenSea dashboard instead of checking your connected wallet’s collections? The UI gets wonky sometimes and doesn’t show everything.
One more thing - those other Solana projects that customized their pages successfully, were they using candy machine v2 too or something different? Might help figure out what actually works.
Hope you solve this! I’d love to know what works since I’ll hit the same issue eventually
