NFT Forge

Inspiration

What inspired me to create this project was the need for a simple way of making NFTs. The whole idea was to grant NFT creation services to non-technical users and allow them full ownership of their onchain assets. With the current surge in NFT projects I want it to be a tool for faster and easier creation of NFTs without the need for complicated deployment scripts.

What it does

It takes any image via local uploads and mints it onchain using a smart contract. The deployed contract supports two testnets namely sepolia and arbitrum sepolia testnets. After minting the image it becomes an NFT with real value onchain.

How we built it

I built it using MeDo but strictly instructed the AI assistant to deploy the contracts using Hardhat and integrate user authentication for connected wallets with supabase. I also used the Pinata IPFS to store the NFT uploads oncchain after the contracts executed. The contracts were written in Solidity.

Challenges we ran into

I had a big issue with the Pinata IPFS when granting permissions I also had an issue with the contracts recognizing the hashing mechanisms of the external EVM wallets used.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We accomplished a fully working app that can allow anyone to create an NFT without technical knowledge.

What we learned

I learned how to leverage AI in building faster. I also learned a lot about Pinata's IPFS and how permissions are managed.

What's next for NFT Forge

Full scale deployment to the Mainnet (ETH) and upscaling all server side dependencies.
