What is Vechain NFT Generator Framework ?

Vechain NFT Generator is a toolbox meant to be used for the generation and minting of large collections (e.g. 10,000) of unique NFTs. Input SVG layers of your NFTs and the generator will combine them automatically into unique merged SVG images with metadata and upload them to IPFS. Then use the provided smart contract minter to create the NFTs on VeChain.

How to use the Vechain NFT Generator Framework ?

The repository is made of 2 folders:

• The generator that will assemble your SVG parts into unique merged images with metadata, and upload them to IPFS.
• The contracts folder that contains an NFT minter runing on Vechain

Step 1: Generate the images and metadata and upload them to IPFS

You will need an IPFS API key with Infura to proceed. Go to https://infura.io/product/ipfs and register an account. Then rename .env.example as .env and enter your Infura IPFS credentials:

INFURA_API_ID=
INFURA_API_SECRET=

Now put all yours layers into the layers folder configure index.js with your layers combinations and ordering. (In future version, this process could be much better streamlined. In this example just leave layers and index.js as offered.)

Now install dependancies and run the generator :

yarn install
yarn start

You will see each combination being generated and uploaded to IPFS :

Ship 3000 uploaded to ipfs://QmTA9YxDVAu6mL7YKMMvp1RFZPdPcm2QkQH7qY9Yif4vLn
Ship 2100 uploaded to ipfs://Qmdfvsvbga64a4jsYEp8cmUVd7wjX9RKGCnUkzGrPdJ23j

Ship 1200 uploaded to ipfs://QmZ1mdinVCQhz8a8Sg3E25bVfwFpf7y9T9Hjx4jshaViVG
...

Check out the generated out folder to see all the genrated images and metadata.

Mint the NFTs

Run web3-gear (replace <password> with your password)

web3-gear --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8545 --endpoint https://sync-testnet.vechain.org --keystore ./keystore --passcode <password>

Deploy the Minter contract

npx truffle migrate --network testnet --reset

Modify scripts/mint.js with an IPFS link generated previouly to mint that NFT then run the truffle script:

npx truffle exec scripts/mint.js --network testnet

Futur versions will include a script to mint the whole collection at once.
