Using our services or the free NFT generator tool will automatically generate the metadata of your collection. Otherwise, if you generate your NFT collection manually, you will need to generate the metadata manually too. To do that, follow these steps. Step 1: Each standalone NFT should have a metadata file with a .json extension and the same file name. To create .json file you need to create a .txt file, open that .txt file and save it as .json file Step 2: Paste this example metadata structure into your metadata file. { "name": "Name of your NFT collcetion", "description": "Description for your NFT collection", "image": "IPFS link/subsequent number of the NFT (E.G. 24).png", "dna": "360f1aa602c83b2769bd455fbed5f00cfece1042 (unique 40 character DNA code)", "edition": subsequent number of the NFT (E.G. 24), "date": date of creation, "attributes": [ { "trait_type": "E.G. Background", "value": "Trait Name without the weight number (E.G. Arctic Tiger Acrodont)" } ], "compiler": "Protoverse Generator" } EXPLAINER 1. Name - Name of your NFT collection 2. Description - A detailed description of your NFT collection 3. Image - IPFS upload link followed by the subsequent number of the NFT (e.g. 24.png) 4. DNA - Unique 40 characters code of the NFTs. Used to avoid duplicates. 5. Edition - Subsequent number of the NFT (e.g. 24.png) 6. Date - The date of creation 7. Attributes - Section where you put your asset/trait names. 8. Trait type - Name of the folders for traits you have created and organized earlier. If you have more than one asset folder, you can just duplicate that line of code for as many asset folders as you have. 9. Value - Name of the asset used in the current edition of the NFT.
