# Contract Factory

The Paintswap contract factory deploys an ERC1155 contract that is owned by the user. The minting can be done the same way as the community contract, directly on Paintswap, but with lower fees.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Contract Owner**

The address you are connected to on the website will become the creator and owner of the contract. Make sure your wallet is connected with the correct one.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Burning NFTs**

Each NFT you mint to your contract will incrementally increase the tokenID. When burning one, you will not be able to re-use the same ID and Total Supply will not change. For example, if Total Supply is 6, you minted 5 and burned 4, then you can only mint one more NFT.
{% endhint %}

Once you have finished minting all the NFTs you want to your contract you can submit it as a collection as usual via the form on PaintSwap.
