Check out this guide (opens in a new tab) ↗ if you’re curious to learn more about test networks. This will allow us to make requests to the Goerli test network. Once you’ve created an Alchemy account, you can generate an API key by creating an app. If you don’t already have an Alchemy account, you can sign up for free here (opens in a new tab) ↗. In this tutorial, we’ll also take advantage of Alchemy’s developer tools for monitoring and analytics to understand what’s going on under the hood in our smart contract deployment. There are a bunch of ways to make requests to the Ethereum blockchain, but to make things easy, we’ll use a free account on Alchemy (opens in a new tab) ↗, a blockchain developer platform and API that allows us to communicate with the Ethereum chain without having to run our own nodes. In Part 2 of this tutorial we’ll go through how we can use our smart contract to mint an NFT, and in Part 3 we’ll explain how to view your NFT on MetaMask.Īnd of course, if you have questions at any point, don’t hesitate to reach out in the Alchemy Discord (opens in a new tab) ↗ or visit Alchemy's NFT API docs (opens in a new tab) ↗! Step 1: Connect to the Ethereum network In this tutorial, we will walk through creating and deploying an ERC-721 smart contract on the Goerli test network using MetaMask (opens in a new tab) ↗, Solidity (opens in a new tab) ↗, Hardhat (opens in a new tab) ↗, Pinata (opens in a new tab) ↗ and Alchemy (opens in a new tab) ↗ (don’t fret if you don’t understand what any of this means yet - we will explain it!).
With NFTs bringing blockchain into the public eye, now is an excellent opportunity to understand the hype yourself by publishing your own NFT contract (ERC-721 Token) on the Ethereum blockchain!Īlchemy is extremely proud to be powering the biggest names in the NFT space, including Makersplace (recently set a record digital artwork sale at Christie’s for $69 Million), Dapper Labs (creators of NBA Top Shot & Crypto Kitties), OpenSea (the world’s largest NFT marketplace), Zora, Super Rare, NFTfi, Foundation, Enjin, Origin Protocol, Immutable, and more.
