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, but not the PaintSwap Community contract.

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.

• nft_type should be one of image/video/audio/3d/interactive . Read more in the Supported NFTs page.

• media is the filename of a resource inside the media folder that is placed in the zip. This is equivalent to the image in the Metadata page.

• high_res_media is the filename of another resource inside the media folder that is placed in the zip. This is equivalent to the animation_url in the Metadata page.

• attributes currently attributes are limited to key-value pairs, this is being worked on to support complex attributes, including rarity. Example, including the quotes if multiple attributes are needed: "type1=value1,type2=value2"
