10 things learnt about metaplex.
Working with a Web3 startup.
Preview
1. Metaplex is a developer way to invoke/mutate out an NFT over solana network.
2. Candy Machine is a no code way to create out an NFT over solana network. It's provided by metaplex.
3. Settings, guards are way to configure the candy machine. NFTs can be added as items to candy machine.
4. Items is a JSON object with name and uri (link to meta data).
5. Sugar is the latest updated version of candy machine.
6. metaplex.nft().create({config}) is also a way to mint out the nft.
7. Airdrop is a termed used to give something(mostly token in the form of nft or actual tokens) for free in web3 space.
Mostly for marketing.
8. devnet and testnet are 2 ways to test out your builds in nft space.
9. Every minted nft can be viewed over website using solana.fm or explorer solana.
Just change RPC from left right corner.
10. For minting with Candy Machine aka Sugar, we need to provide NFTs images/files in sequential order from 0-9999 (max).
For each nft, 2 files (.png/.jpeg and .json) with same name are needed to be provided in order to make minting successful with Sugar. json file would contain meta-data for the png/jpeg file.
