Implementing Metadata to ERC721

[robbiek]

Hello
Going through the walkthrough found here

Create an NFT and deploy to a public testnet, using Truffle

In this tutorial we will create a non-fungible token (NFT) and deploy to a public testnet. ERC721 is a standard for representing ownership of non-fungible tokens, that is, where each token is unique such as in real estate or collectibles. We will use Presets contracts in OpenZeppelin Contracts 3 to create an ERC721 and deploy using Truffle. Setting up the Environment We begin by creating a new project. $ mkdir mynft && cd mynft $ npm init -y Then we install OpenZeppelin Contracts which has …

successfully launched and have the ability to mint / send over Rinkeby but wondering how to add Metadata to the 721.

I have a JSON prepped and ready / trying to experiment with https://my-json-server.typicode.com/

however a bit lost on how to connect everything

Thanks!

Hi @robbiek,

You can either use decentralized metadata (e.g. IPFS) but this comes at a higher cost for minting or you can use a centralized approach.

For the tutorial I just my-json-server but for production you would likely want a more robust approach of having a server for your JSON metadata. Which is not something I have done yet.
