Read the first 7 Creating and Minting NFTs flashcards as text

  1. What is a 'whitelist' (or allowlist) in the context of an NFT mint?

    Answer: A pre-approved list of wallet addresses that can mint before the public

    A whitelist (allowlist) grants selected wallet addresses early or exclusive access to mint NFTs, often rewarding community members before a public sale.

  2. What is a 'reveal' mechanic in generative NFT drops?

    Answer: Delaying the display of final artwork until after all tokens are minted

    A reveal mechanic shows placeholder art during the mint and later swaps in the final generated artwork, preventing buyers from cherry-picking rare traits before purchasing.

  3. Which attribute in NFT metadata determines how traits are displayed and filtered on marketplaces like OpenSea?

    Answer: The 'attributes' array with trait_type and value pairs

    The 'attributes' array in the metadata JSON contains trait_type and value pairs that marketplaces read to display filterable properties like Background, Eyes, or Rarity.

  4. What is 'minting price' as distinct from 'gas fee' when purchasing an NFT at launch?

    Answer: The base cost set by the creator to acquire the NFT

    The minting price is the creator-set cost to acquire the NFT (e.g., 0.08 ETH), while gas is a separate network fee required to process the transaction on-chain.

  5. What is the role of a 'smart contract' in the NFT minting process?

    Answer: It automates ownership, transfer rules, and royalty logic without a middleman

    A smart contract is self-executing code on the blockchain that governs how NFTs are minted, transferred, and how royalties are distributed upon resale.

  6. An artist wants to ensure their NFT artwork remains accessible even if their hosting service shuts down. What is the best solution?

    Answer: Pin the artwork to IPFS using a pinning service or store it on Arweave

    IPFS with a reliable pinning service (like Pinata) or permanent storage on Arweave ensures artwork persists decentrally even if the original uploader disappears.

  7. What does 'provenance' mean in the context of NFT art?

    Answer: The verifiable on-chain ownership and transaction history of an NFT

    Provenance refers to the complete, verifiable history of an NFT's creation and ownership recorded on the blockchain, establishing authenticity and chain of custody.
