Features

The Nifty-toolkit package is under active development. Current it supports 3 main features:

1. Manage IPFS

2. Manage NFT

3. Generate Opensea link.

IPFS

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system.

IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace connecting all computing devices.

Using the Nifty-toolkit tool, you can have your resource uploaded and retrievaled on IPFS.

This is done through 3rd party called Pinata Cloud, so please make sure you register on the Pinata platform first.

NFTs

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on the blockchain.

NFTs can be associated with easily-reproducible items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files as unique items, and use blockchain technology to give the NFT a verified and public proof of ownership.

The lack of interchangeability distinguishes NFTs from fungible-tokens, like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

The Nifty-toolkit tool currently supports only EVM-compatible chains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and Cronos.

OpenSea

OpenSea is a marketplace for NFTs. It was founded on December 20, 2017, by Devin Finzer and Alex Atallah in New York.

Users can generate NFTs on OpenSea free of charge and offer them for direct purchase or auction. OpenSea is mostly based on the Ethereum ERC-721 standard, and also supports Polygon.

If you use Nifty-toolkit tools to generate (mint) the NFT, Opensea will auto-generate the NFT link after 1~2 minutes.
