Creating Move NFT

Overview

Creating and managing your own NFTs using the 0x1::simple_nft module involves several steps, including creating a collection, minting NFTs, checking minted NFTs, and transferring NFTs. This tutorial will guide you through these steps, focusing on syntax and essential commands to interact with the blockchain.

Tutorial

Step 1: Create Collection

To mint NFTs, you first need to create a collection. You'll use the 0x1::simple_nft::create_collection function for this purpose. This function requires numerous parameters, including descriptions, maximum supply, collection name, and various flags to allow mutability in your collection's properties.

public entry fun create_collection(
    creator: &signer,
    description: String,
    max_supply: Option<u64>,
    name: String,
    uri: String,
    mutable_description: bool,
    mutable_royalty: bool,
    mutable_uri: bool,
    mutable_nft_description: bool,
    mutable_nft_properties: bool,
    mutable_nft_uri: bool,
    royalty: Decimal128,
)

Step 2: Mint NFT

After creating a collection, you can mint NFTs within this collection using the 0x1::simple_nft::mint function. This function also requires various parameters, including the collection name, a description of the NFT, the token ID, and an optional recipient address.

Step 3: Check Minted NFTs

You can check the NFTs you've minted by accessing specific APIs. For checking collections and tokens owned by a specific address, use the following endpoints, replacing [addr] and [collection_address] with actual values:

  • Collections owned by a specific address: https://api.initiation-1.initia.xyz/indexer/nft/v1/collections/by_account/[addr]

  • NFTs owned by a specific address: https://api.initiation-1.initia.xyz/indexer/nft/v1/tokens/by_account/[addr]

Step 4: Transfer NFT

To transfer an NFT, use the 0x1::object::transfer_call function. This function allows transferring a single NFT from one account to another.
