# NFT Collection contract

### 🤨 How the NFT Drop contract works

In contrast to the [NFT Drop contract](/smart-contract/pre-built-contracts/nft-drop-contract.md), the NFT Collection contract does **not support lazy minting** for your NFTs. Instead, NFTs are promptly minted upon their addition to the collection.

This allows you to transfer or sell the NFTs on a Marketplace and execute any other actions typically associated with NFTs.

Additionally, for advanced scenarios, the NFT Collection offers signature-based minting capabilities.

### **🔥 Use Cases & Examples**

You can utilize the NFT Drop contract for various purposes, such as:

* Launching a PFP (profile picture) Collection featuring NFTs with distinct combinations of traits.
* Seamlessly transfer or sell your assets on a Marketplace without claiming them first.
* Create an exclusive 1-of-many collection showcasing your photography.
* create a one-of-a-kind NFT with specialized utility.
* Mint your artwork as NFTs through minting and sell them on a Marketplace.

```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
