Create and Mint NFT using AI

This project is forked from dappuniversity/ai_nft_generator. The enhancements made are to be able to publish the smart contract and the NFTs on the Energi blockchain. Once published, the NFTs can be traded on the GonnaMakeIt Marketplace.

A. Technology Stack & Tools

• Solidity (Writing Smart Contracts & Tests)
• Javascript (React & Testing)
• Hardhat (Development Framework)
• Ethers.js (Blockchain Interaction)
• React.js (Frontend Framework)
• NFT.Storage (Connection to IPFS)
• Hugging Face (AI Models)

B. Requirements For Initial Setup

• Install NodeJS

C. Setting Up

1. Clone/Download the Repository

git clone https://github.com/SMART-Corporation/nft-ai-generated.git

2. Install Dependencies:

cd nft-ai-generated
npm install

3. Create APIs:

Create an account on Hugging Face. Visit your profile settings, and create a read access token.

Create an account on NFT.Storage, and create a new API key.

4. Setup .env file:

Before running any scripts, create a .env file by copying .env.example. Edit the following:

• ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY="" - Get the private key for your owner account from MetaMask
• REACT_APP_HUGGING_FACE_API_KEY="" - Populate the API from step 3 above
• REACT_APP_NFT_STORAGE_API_KEY= - Populate the API from step 3 above. Do not put any quotes around the API

5. Name your collection

Edit lines 4, 5 and 6 of scripts/deploy.js:

  const NAME = "AI Generated NFT"
  const SYMBOL = "AINFT"
  const COST = ethers.utils.parseUnits("1", "ether") // 1 NRG

• NAME - Name of collection as you want it to appear on the Marketplace
• SYMBOL - Token Symbol of your collection
• COST - Minting cost

6. Update Constructor Arguments

Edit scripts/constructor-arg.js.

module.exports = [
    "AI Generated NFT", 
    "AINFT", 
    "1"
];

The entires should match the information set in scripts/deploy.js in step 5 above.

7. Run deployment script

Deploy the smart contract to Energi Testnet.

npx hardhat run ./scripts/deploy.js --network energiTestnet 
npx hardhat verify <contract_address> --constructor-args ./scripts/constructor-arg.js

8. Start frontend

npm run start

The above will start a web browser instance. If you are using the Brave Browser, turn shield off to "http://localhost:3000".

9. Create and Mint your AI Generated NFTs

• 1. Connect your Owner Wallet
• 2. Give a name for the image
• 3. Add a description to your NFT. The AI NFT Generator will take the description and create an NFT.
• 4. Click "Create & Mint" to generate an NFT using the AI, post the NFT to IPFS and mint it on the Energi Blockchain. You will have to pay the minting cost.

Once minted the image of the NFT will appear on the box to the right. Go to GMI Testnet Marketplace to view your collection.

Have fun with your NFTs!
