# Create

Creating on Piny starts with one simple idea: you either **drop your own marker** or **start a space where others can pin with you**.

This page is a quick overview. Separate pages will walk you through each flow step by step.

## Create a personal marker

A personal marker is your way of saying “this place meant something to me”.

On the create marker screen you will:

* Move the map to a place that matters to you.
* Drop a marker on that location.
* Give it a short name and write a message about why this place or moment matters.
* Add an image that represents the memory or story you’re pinning.

When you’re ready, you mint the marker as an NFT. From that point on it lives in your wallet and on the blockchain as a tiny time capsule only you could have created.

We’ll cover all the detailed fields and options in the dedicated **Create Marker** page.

## Create an event

Sometimes a story is bigger than one person. That’s where events come in.

An event is a shared space on the map where many people can pin under the same theme:

* You choose a theme: a charity campaign, a fan project, a remembrance, a movement, or anything people care about.
* You set simple rules: who can pin, whether markers are free or require a fee, and which tokens are accepted.
* You share the event link so others can drop their own markers under the same banner.

Over time, your event fills with markers from different people, turning into a collective story you can literally see on the map.

We’ll explain the full event creation flow and all options in the dedicated **Create Event** page.

You can also join events created by others from the Explore section — creating is not just about starting your own space, it’s also about adding your marker to stories that already exist.
