Description

• Mint your very own Curious Kid from a collection size of 128
• Curious users can mint their very own Curious Kid at https://curiouskid.netlify.app/
• Curious Kid guarantees that each NFT minted is unique
• It's contract allow creators to have stable earnings
• Perfect as gifts to kids. No time like the present to get them started on their blockchain journey.

Features

1. Mathematically Guaranteed Uniqueness

What is a powerset?

• Given {1,2,3} is in set S
• {(), (1,), (2,), (3,), (1,2), (1,3), (2,3), (1,2,3)} are all subsets of S, which are all the possible unique attribute combinations
• More info: https://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/power-set.html

2. Sets Token URI on-chain

3. EIP-2981 Royalty Standard

Curious Kid implements the EIP-2981 Royalty Standard that allows for marketplaces to implement on-chain royalty. This allows artist and developers to earn their fair share each time a sale on their NFT occurs - backed by the power of decentralization.

4. Mystery & Excitement

Curious Kid owners (deployers) can optionally hide the NFT images even after mint, and reveal it after awhile, to create some fun and excitement around the minting process - perfect for kids, great for learning.

How it works

Future Direction

• Deploy to Polygon mainnet
• Expand collection
• Airdrop to schools, get kids interested
• Showcase the Royalty Standard further empowering creators/artists

How to use

Curious Kid consists of 2 parts, the backend and frontend.

Backend - requires both python and node.js

~$ cd backend
~$ npm install

NFT Art Generation

1. Change the assets_demo folder name to assets
2. Open NFT Art Generator.ipynb, and follow the instructions and each cell
3. after going through the notebook, the following should have occured:
   • assets/images/main and assets/metadata/main folder should be populated with 8 images and metadata respectively
   • image and URI metadata should have been uploaded to nft.storage and obtain CIDs

Deploying to Rinkeby/Polygon Testnets

1. copy the CIDs and replace them with the CIDs in initBaseURI and temporaryURI of deploy/1_deploy.js
2. run npx hardhat deploy --network rinkeby to deploy and try it out!
3. deployed_contract_details folder should have been created after deployment, copy this into frontend folder's src folder to get started with the DAPP to interact with contract

Frontend

~$ cd frontend
~$ npm install
~$ npm start

Testing

~$ cd backend
~$ npx hardhat test

or for a summary of contract test coverage

~$ cd backend
~$ npx hardhat coverage

Helpful Tasks

1. check contract size

~$ yarn run hardhat size-contracts
