# Creator STUDIO

The Creator Studio is our most powerful tool within the FOTON marketplace. Users can use it to import their artwork easily and mint elaborate collections and items with various use cases. 

This is the start for all the content on Foton. 

What differentiates FOTON from all the other marketplaces out there, is that you can create more Studios and have their ownership and management done via Web3. More like a DAO but where the Creator is the leader of the Team. \
\
To start, the user needs to Click on the Creator Studio button in the main menu and follow the step by step Wizard. Keep in mind a minimal amount of Radix XRD tokens is needed in your account to cover the network fees for minting the Foton Studio Owner (FSO) badge. \
\ <mark style="color:yellow;">\* You can create just 1 Studio per Radix Epoch. That's about 1 Studio every 5 minutes. This is because we encode the epoch number in the ID of each FSO badge.</mark>

<mark style="color:yellow;">Attention!</mark> \ <mark style="color:yellow;">Once you have in your wallet the FSO badge, make sure you keep it safe and don't send it to anyone else. This badge gives full ownership and control over everything within the Studio, including all Projects, Collections and Items.</mark> \
\ <mark style="color:yellow;">Transfer it only if you want to pass over ownership and full control to someone else. Once transferred to a different account, you will not have any control or visibility anymore over the Studio and everything it contained.</mark><br>

\
The hierarchy of nesting content on FOTON looks like this, similar to folders and files on a PC:\ <mark style="color:green;">1. Studio > 2. Projects > 3. Collections > 4. Items</mark>

Clicking on a Project or Collection will open it and display the content. The items will usually show up only if they are not minted yet. Once minted they will be moved to the Collector Hub where they can be traded and will show also on the Collections or Drops pages.&#x20;

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://foton.gitbook.io/introduction/beginners-intro/creator-studio.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
