Creating Collection in Advanced Mode

This page shows you how to create a collection in Advanced Mode

Prerequisites

• Use our PSP34 NFT template at https://medium.com/@artzero_io/how-to-create-nft-contract-on-azero-to-work-with-artzero-a14c8f17f90a to create your customized smart contract. It is required that following functions must be available so the contract will work with ArtZero platform.

• In Advanced Mode, all metadata is off-chain so you have to provide base URI for the platform to fetch data to display on the UI. To set the base URI, use setBaseUri() function from the smart contract. We currently support IPFS, so the format is ipfs://<CID>

ArtZero will fetch metadata for each token as ipfs://<CID>/<tokenID>.json For example if token ID is 1 and your <CID> is QmXtnr9aEJVywiLs1keZdyiKbQwignZT3FhwKYivF15oZp:

ipfs://QmXtnr9aEJVywiLs1keZdyiKbQwignZT3FhwKYivF15oZp/1.json

Set base URI for the NFT Collection

Currently, we use HashLips Art Engine to create the Metadata, the git repo also can be found at https://github.com/ArtZero-io/hashlips_art_engine You can check the below as example:
