NFT Creating and Minting NFTs 4

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

The 'attributes' array with trait_type and value pairs

Answer

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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The base cost set by the creator to acquire the NFT

Answer

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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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