yarn install

Scripts

The following scripts are provided in this project.

Compile

All the scripts require you to first compile the contract, to do this, run the following command:

Deploy

This script deploys a new contract to the network specified with the NETWORK environment variable. The wallet specified using the PRIVATE_KEY will be the creator of the contract. Usage:

yarn deploy

Minting new NFTs

To mint a new NFT, be sure to have set environment variable CONTRACT_ADDRESS as the address of the deployed contract. Then run:

You will be prompted to input a IPFS address to a remote metadata object. If you haven't done it already, create a metadata object, and upload it to IPFS, using for example nft.storage. A template of a metadata object can be seen in metadata/example.json. The image field should point to an image of the degree you want to mint.
