Initialize your collection by setting the maximum number of items, symbol and base url for your collection.

You can reach this page by navigating to <http://localhost:3000/initialize>&#x20;

The parameters are:

* `Maximum Number of Items` : The limit of the number of NFTs that can be created in the collection
* `Symbol` : The symbol you want to use to identify the collection. It has a maximum length of 16 characters
* `Url` : This is the url that will be used as the basis in the links to the NFTs. Currently only `https` links are supported but support for Arweave and IPFS will come soon

You can only initialize the program once though some of the parameters can be changed until the program is frozen. Once the program is initialized, refreshing this page should show a confirmation message along with an explorer link.
