# Create your Collection - Introduction

The [Fair.xyz](http://fair.xyz) Creator Interface is built to allow for the most seamless, simple and code-free experience for Creators. In the following tutorial, we will go through the steps required to build an end-to-end collection through the [Fair.xyz](http://fair.xyz) platform - from artwork generation to smart contract and minting site deployment, and everything in-between!

**What do I need to launch my own collection?**

* A wallet (with just a little bit of funds in it to pay gas fees - [Fair.xyz](http://fair.xyz) does not take any upfront costs) - you can learn more about wallets and how to set one up [here](https://docs.fair.xyz/nft-fundamentals/setting-up-your-wallet)
* Artwork, or layers to generate your artwork
* 5-10 minutes of your time (that’s how long it should take to launch your collection if you have all the collection information ready to go!)

The gas cost of launching an NFT collection with [Fair.xyz](http://fair.xyz) is anywhere between 10-22x cheaper (depending on which blockchain you’re launching on) than traditional deployments
