Write Your First NFT

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

Git: Used for code management and obtain examples.
Node.js: Install it from .
Pharos Devnet/Testnet Access: Access to a Pharos node (local or remote) for interacting with the blockchain.

Setup 1: Install Foundry

Setup 2: Set Up the Project

Clone the example repo:

git clone https://github.com/PharosNetwork/examples
cd examples/nft/foundry/contract

Install OpenZeppelin Contracts:

Foundry uses forge to manage dependencies. Install OpenZeppelin contracts:

forge install OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts --no-git --no-commit

Setup 3: Write the NFT Contract

Create a New Solidity File:

Create a new file for your NFT contract:

touch src/Token.sol

Write the Token Contract:

Open src/Token.sol in your favorite text editor and add the following code:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import {ERC721} from "openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";

contract Token is ERC721 {
    constructor() ERC721("Token", "MTK") {}
}

Compile the Smart Contract:

Use forge to compile the contract:

forge build

Test the Smart Contract

Use forge to test the contract:

forge test

Step 4: Deploy the Token Contract

Set the private key:

export PRIVATE_KEY=<your private key>

Create a Deployment Script:

Create a new file for the deployment script:

touch script/DeployToken.s.sol

Write the Deployment Script:

Open script/DeployToken.s.sol and add the following code:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "forge-std/Script.sol";
import "../src/Token.sol";

contract DeployToken is Script {
    function run() external {
        uint256 deployerPrivateKey = vm.envUint("PRIVATE_KEY");
        vm.startBroadcast(deployerPrivateKey);

        Token token = new Token(1000000); // Initial supply of 1,000,000 tokens

        vm.stopBroadcast();
    }
}

Deploy the Contract:

Use forge to deploy the contract to the Pharos Testnet:

forge script script/DeployToken.s.sol --rpc-url <PHAROS_RPC_URL> --broadcast

Step 5: Interact with the NFT Contract

Open script/InteractToken.s.sol and add the following code:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.13;

import {Script, console} from "forge-std/Script.sol";
import {Token} from "../src/Token.sol";

contract InteractToken is Script {
    function run() external {
        uint256 deployerPrivateKey = vm.envUint("PRIVATE_KEY");
        vm.startBroadcast(deployerPrivateKey);

        Token token = Token(address(0x00)); // Replace with your token contract address

        // Check balance
        uint256 balance = token.balanceOf(msg.sender);
        console.log("Balance:", balance);

        // Transfer tokens
        token.transfer(address(0x00), 100); // Replace with recipient address and amount
        console.log("Tokens transferred");

        vm.stopBroadcast();
    }
}

Execute the script using forge:

forge script script/InteractToken.s.sol --rpc-url <PHAROS_RPC_URL> --broadcast

Troubleshooting

Contract Deployment Fails: Ensure you have enough testnet tokens to cover the deployment cost.
Interaction Issues: Verify that the contract address and ABI are correct.
Insufficient Balance: Ensure your wallet has enough tokens to transfer.

Conclusion

Now that you’ve created and deployed your first NFT using Foundry.

This guide provides a comprehensive introduction to to creating and deploying an NFT on the Pharos blockchain. If you encounter any issues, refer to the Troubleshooting section or consult the Foundry documentation. Happy building! 🚀
