 # Deploy a modular NFT Collection contract
 
+<Callout variant="warning" title="Deprecated">
+  Pre-built modular contracts have been deprecated from the Explore section. While this documentation remains available for existing users, we recommend using [standard NFT collection contracts](/contracts/explore/pre-built-contracts/nft-collection) for new deployments.
+</Callout>
+
 The NFT Collection contract creates a unique collection of NFTs based on the ERC-721A standard. NFTs are minted to the creator’s wallet as they are added to the collection. NFTs are still transferable, able to be sold on a marketplace, and perform any other actions as defined by ERC-721A.
 
 For advanced use-cases requiring , NFT Collection includes signature-based minting capabilities.

 The modular Token contract creates digital currencies and is compliant with the ERC-20 standard. This contract defines a common set of 
 rules for tokens including how they can be transferred, how transactions are approved, and how data about token balances is accessed.
