Minting Through Smart Contract
Last updated
Last updated
Minting an NFT is how your digital art becomes a part of the Ethereum blockchain–a public ledger that is unchangeable and tamper-proof. Similar to the way that metal coins are minted and added into circulation, NFTs are also tokens that get “minted” once they are created. Your digital artwork is represented as an NFT so it can then be purchased and traded in the market and digitally tracked as it is resold or collected again in the future.
Disclaimer: Minting through contract should be done when the website of a collection is down and only if you're aware of what you're doing.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A MISSING OR WRONG LETTER/NUMBER LEADS YOU TO LOSE MONEY
First of all find the contract address, you can find it either on OpenSea, on the collection website, on Twitter or in our channel (if posted)
Click on the contract, you'll be redirected to Etherscan (if it's on ETH mainnet)
Click on Contract (blue arrow)
Click on Write Contract (red arrow)
In order to connect your wallet, click on the left where there is the red dot
"Connect to Web3"
Click on Mint (green arrow)
WHAT TO INSERT:
payableAmount (ether): Total amount you're going to spend. In order to get this quote, multiply the amount of NFTs you want to mint to the price of each NFT. Always take care of the maths part!
numberOfTokens (uint256): This field is related to the number of NFTs you're going to mint
Once added the values in the fields, click on Write (blue button) and Metamask will pop up
Remember that each drop is different and each contract may vary from the other ones.
Errors on Metamask may occur as well
