• Arbitrum Partnership

We're glad to announce that we have been listed on Arbitrum's ecosystem page. Arbitrum is a layer 2 solution designed to improve the capabilities of Ethereum smart contracts — boosting their speed and scalability while adding in additional privacy features.

‍

2. Would you like a tour ?!

You will be prompted to take a quick tour once you land on the dashboard. It explains metrics and options on each card.

‍

‍

3. Delayed Reveal Tab

You can now upload/update your delayed reveal image and metadata. You     only need to get the API key from nft.storage (instructions provided!)

‍

‍

4. Other Tab

a) You can provide configuration for the widget bot to have the same chat window connected to your mint page as we have on Zero Code NFT’s website. This way, your minters can message a specific channel (for example, support) on your Discord right from the minting page

b) Google Analytics! You can now have a much better idea of who is your customer and what actions they take on the minting page!

‍

5. NFT Images and Metadata Uploads

Our users were confused about the IPFS Metadata URL field, so we removed it and added the Assets tab instead! So now, you can easily upload your art and metadata files via our UI! 

‍

The steps are:

1. Create your account with nft.storage and get an API key.

2. Upload all your artwork.

3. Upload all the metadata files. 

‍

Once the upload is done, we'll generate your metadata URL. Copy it and then:

- collection without Delayed Reveal: call Set Base URL with it

- delayed reveal collections: call Reveal function instead

‍

‍

6. Improved Checkout Experience

We've added the smart contract deployment cost breakdown and the ability to add your custom ASCII art to your smart contract's source code!

7. Smart Contract Code Previews

You can preview the Zero Code NFT’s generated smart contract code in the Source Code tab. This feature is useful, for example, for auditing purposes. Each code is also downloadable after the checkout.

8. Automatic Source Code Verification

Now, after you deploy your smart contract, we'll try and automatically verify your source code. Otherwise, you can manually verify it from the Smart Contract tab by pressing the "Verify Code" button. Note: It only works if you've selected the Source Code Verification add-on at the checkout.

9. Miscellaneous

1. Automatic ENS name and image lookup for user profiles
2. Automatic smart contract verifications
   
   

And that’s it for now! 

We are constantly working and are sure to have more platform updates soon. In the meantime, visit our Discord, interact with our community and see what we are up to. 

P.S: Please note that as Zero Code NFT users, you can earn a commission from Zero Code NFT for referring your creator friends and family. Instructions are on our Discord!
