Hi web3 chat! Before anything, let’s first see and use what we’re going to build

I present you → NFT mint collection dApp
connect Metamask wallet and start minting!

✅ Some Pre-requisites:

  • Make sure you have Metamask wallet installed.
    (Download and install it from https://metamask.io)

  • Add Polygon Amoy Testnet if you haven’t already.
    [p.s.- this dApp was done on Polygon Mumbai Testnet, which is currently discontinued since April 2024. Migrate to Amoy to continue using Testnet from polygon and deploy this dApp)

  • Claim free Amoy tokens from Alchemy’s public Faucet which drips upto 1 Amoy MATIC per day. More info here, for steps-by-step process to migrate to Amoy faucet successfully

  • Ensure that your pc has npm, node modules hardhat node modules installed.
    More info on how to set everything up → Docs

Installation

To install and run the NFT Minting DApp locally, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:

     git clone https://github.com/aharna/zeeve-workshop-demo-start

  2. Set up RPC API endpoints from Zeeve/RPC endpoints provider. (Zeeve Link + Documentation)

  3. Create .env file and enter http url and the private key.

ZEEVE_HTTP_URL= enter your http url here
PRIVATE_KEY= enter your private key from your wallet
  1. Run the following commands in the Terminal:
npm i
cd my-nft-dapp
npm i
cd ..
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network polygon_amoy

  1. Add ABI and deployed smart contract address (What’s ABI 🤔 Check glossary)

  2. Run the following commands:

cd my-nft-dapp
npm run dev

Glossary:

ABI (Application Binary Interface) is a standard used in Ethereum and other blockchain networks to define how smart contracts interact with external applications. It specifies the methods and data structures that can be called on a smart contract, acting as a bridge between the contract's internal functions and external software like wallets or DApps.

NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a type of digital asset stored on a blockchain, representing ownership of unique items such as art, music, collectibles, or virtual assets. Unlike cryptocurrencies, NFTs are not interchangeable due to their uniqueness, making them ideal for creating verifiable, one-of-a-kind items in the digital world.
