Create your NFT Collection
MetaMask is a widely used Ethereum wallet that allows users to manage their Ether and ERC-20 tokens. It also provides an interface for interacting with decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. With the growing popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), you can now leverage MetaMask to create your very own NFT collection contract, opening up a world of opportunities and benefits.
NFTs represent unique digital assets that can't be exchanged on a one-to-one basis, differentiating them from other cryptocurrencies. Creating an NFT collection contract allows you to mint, trade, and showcase a series of unique digital items, such as art, collectibles, virtual real estate, or game items. These contracts facilitate the management of your NFT collection, defining rules for minting, transferring, and managing the ownership of your tokens.
MetaMask is designed as a browser extension to provide a user-friendly interface and secure key management for interacting with dApps and web services. Connecting from Node.js is not supported because MetaMask focuses on end-user interactions within web browsers, while Node.js is a server-side JavaScript runtime typically used for backend development.
Use the TatumSDK (
@tatumio/tatum) to prepare, sign and broadcast the transaction using MetaMask.You will leverage the WalletProvider submodule, which includes multiple browser-based wallet extensions. MetaMask is just one of them.
