# Getting Collection Contract Address Before you proceed with adding a collection to the **NFT Stats** or tracking its mint events with the **NFT Tracker** or setting up token-gated rules for it with the **Verify Roles** plugin, you first need to prepare the Contract Address (for the collections on **Ethereum**, **Polygon**, and **Solana**). ## **EVM Collections.** With the collections built on EVM blockchains like **Ethereum** or **Polygon**, things are going pretty easily. If you are reading this text, that highly likely means that you are the owner and creator of the collection and will know its **Ethereum** or **Polygon** contract address. If, for any reason, this is not true and you are being confused with getting the EVM blockchain-based collection contract address, let us know, and we will add this information to this section. ## Solana **Collections.** Well, at the same time, **Solana** collections have a particularly challenging way of obtaining the correct collection contract addresses, even for their creators! It happens due to the different types of address structures for various collections – some have traditional collection addresses, while others do not. This guide will provide the most universal method for obtaining the correct address to enter in the **Verify Rule** card **Contract** field.

**Note:** If you don’t mind doing some grunt work but read less, then move directly to the [**General concept of address extraction**](https://app.gitbook.com/o/PP99adWq6pg0a9ekqlE1/s/nX757myueIMa0YXG4HJl/~/changes/13/plugins/verify-roles/verification-rules-setup/solana-collections#general-concept-of-the-address-extraction) at the end of this guide. *** ### For collections on Magic Eden. #### **Action 1.** Open the card with any token in the desired collection and scroll it down. If you see the *On-chain Collection* address – that’s perfect – use it right away in the **Verify Rule** card **Contract** field, and we're done here! If there is no – move to the next action.

#### **Action 2.** If there is no *On-chain Collection* address in the **Details** section, then copy the *Mint* address instead and move to the next action.

#### **Action 3.** Now visit and paste the *Mint* address you've just copied from the search field. Wait a second for it to appear in the dropdown, then click on it.

#### **Action 4.** Now, copy the *UPDATE AUTHORITY* address and use it in the **Verify Rule** card **Contract** field.

#### **Just in case**** 👇** * For the collections that have *On-chain Collection* addresses, the *UPDATE AUTHORITY* address will always be different for every NFT in the collection. * For the collections that have no *On-chain Collection* addresses, the *UPDATE AUTHORITY* address will always be the same for every NFT in the collection. *** ### For collections on Tensor. #### **Action 1.** Open the card with any token in the desired collection and click on a blue link in the **Mint** string. You will be automatically redirected to the corresponding page on [https://solana.fm](https://solana.fm/)

#### **Action 2.** Here you will see the *COLLECTION ADDRESS* – use it in the **Verify Rule** card **Contract** field. In case there is no *COLLECTION ADDRESS*, use *UPDATE AUTHORITY* instead.

*** ### For collections on Mooar. #### **Action 1.** Open the card with any token in the desired collection and expand the **Details** section.

If you see the *Contract Address* string – that’s perfect – use it right away in the **Verify Rule** card **Contract** field, and we're done here! If there is no – move to the next action. #### **Action 2.** If there is no *Contract Address* string in the **Details** section, then click on the *Token ID* link – it will lead you to where you need to open the **Authority** dropdown menu and copy the *Update Authority* address. Now, use it in the **Verify Rule** card **Contract** field.

*** ### General concept of address extraction. If trying to extract the needed address, you will be facing any outstanding situation which is not described in this guide, then the general concept is: you need to somehow extract any token address from the desired collection, search it on and then get the *COLLECTION ADDRESS* or the *UPDATE AUTHORITY* address in case the *COLLECTION ADDRESS* is missed. To do this, follow the steps below: #### **Action 1.** If the NFT on the marketplace opens in a pop-up but not on the new page, expand the NFT card of the token from the desired collection via the special button (**ME** or **Tensor**).

#### **Action 2.** Copy the final segment of the URL directly from your browser's address bar. This section may vary across different marketplaces and collections, but you only need the last portion.

#### **Action 3.** Search the address on and get the *COLLECTION ADDRESS* or the *UPDATE AUTHORITY* address in case the *COLLECTION ADDRESS* is missed. *** ## What's next? Now, when you have a correct **Solana** NFT collection Contract Address, you can proceed with tracking its mint events with the **NFT Tracker** or setting up token-gated rules for it with the **Verify Roles** plugin. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
