Generating your NFTs:

Creating NFTs for our platform follows a similar process to any blockchain. You will need basic programming skills, and the specifics of how you generate the images and attributes are up to you.

Generate your collection

The final folder structure should be organized as follows:

Important: Ensure that the .json file extensions are removed from all of your NFT metadata files, or the Smart Contract will not function properly!

collection.png - An image representing your entire collection
collection.json - Information about your collection
/images
0.png
1.png
...
999.png
/metadata (JSON files WITHOUT Extension)
0
1
...
999

Each file for the NFT metadata should follow this format: ⚠️For example, when creating a collection of 1,000 NFTs, ensure that your files are numbered sequentially, starting from 0 and ending at 999 ⚠️

Note: Upload your images to storage first, then replace the base image URL in each file.

{
  "image": "https://arweave.net/MYqAQ7OpmlqTAhLqv7rDWnRxTs6P4yhK4xMIa6dsS6g",
  "name": "Alphaga example #01",
  "attributes": [
    {
      "trait_type": "Background",
      "value": "Invisible"
    },
    {
      "trait_type": "Logo",
      "value": "Dark"
    }
  ]
}

Your collection.json file should look like this:

{
  "image": "https://arweave.net/ODrn_TFHqNqYTYig8j77rchrNWMelIns6-j41OdNIOU",
  "cover": "https://arweave.net/qvAaxhOtY3ZCEkpP-OYBUGgXfoU3YW4_T4i2E00V9vs",
  "name": "Alphaga test ",
  "description": "This is an example of Alphaga collection"
}
