## How to Download Metadata for Your Collections

After creating your NFT collection on our platform, you might want to download the metadata associated with your collection. We offer two types of metadata templates to suit your needs:

1. **Metadata 1 (Without Traits):** This template is for those who need basic metadata without specific traits for each NFT. It's ideal for collections where each NFT is unique without shared attributes.
2. **Metadata 2 (With Traits):** This template is designed for collections that include specific attributes or traits across NFTs. It's a ready-to-fill template where you can specify traits for each NFT.

Here's how you can download the metadata for your collections:

* **Step 1:** Visit the main creator page at <https://creator.ordinalgenesis.xyz/>, where you'll see an overview of your collections.
* **Step 2:** Find the collection for which you want to download metadata and look for the "Download" button associated with it.
* **Step 3:** Click on the "Download" button, and you will be presented with options to download either Metadata 1 or Metadata 2. Select the template that best fits your collection's needs.
* **Step 4:** Once you select the type of metadata, the download will start automatically. If you've chosen Metadata 2, you can proceed to fill out the attributes for your collection accordingly.
