Bulk Mint

In order to mint in bulk, data is uploaded to a Paintswap server, processed and then uploaded with IPFS.

Introduction

Bulk mint is available for Factory Contracts.

Bulk minting requires uploading data in a structured format. This data is then processed by Paintswap and uploaded with IPFS. This process can take some time, so be sure to:

• Validate all data is according to the format requirements in this page

• Have patience when uploading data

• Test first with a single item to have faster back-and-forth testing if something is not working

This page is currently being improved. If you have a question or recommendation, come talk to us on Discord.
