Quickstart

This is the fastest path to a working hub: connect, verify, and post your first automated event. Everything here is done in the studio UI — no code required.

1. Create your hub¶

Go to studio → New hub.
Connect the wallet that will own the hub (this becomes the owner — keep it safe).
Enter your collection address, name and tagline. Your hub goes live at vectorlabz.io/p/{slug}.

Tip

The owner wallet is your root of trust — API keys, payouts and admin actions are all scoped to it. Use a hardware wallet or a Squads multisig for production.

2. Connect Discord¶

Open the Integrations tab and follow Discord bot setup. In short:

Invite the shared VectorLabz bot to your server.
Pick the roles it should grant per holder tier.
Save. Verification is live immediately — no bot to host, no webhook to run.

3. Verify holders¶

Point your community at /p/{slug}/verify. They connect a wallet, sign a message (no transaction, no gas), and the bot grants the matching role. Roles re-sync automatically as holdings change.

4. Run your first giveaway¶

In Discord, an authorized mod runs /giveaway. Pick a prize, a duration or an exact end time, and go. When it ends the card flips to GIVEAWAY ENDED, a winner is drawn on record, and the winner clicks Claim to open a private support thread. See Giveaways & predictions.

5. (Optional) Build on the API¶

If you run your own site or bot, mint an API key in studio → API keys and start reading hub data:

curl https://vectorlabz.io/api/v1/hub/{slug} \
  -H "x-api-key: 0xb_live_xxx"
