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 nodejs.org.
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:
Install OpenZeppelin Contracts:
Foundry uses forge to manage dependencies. Install OpenZeppelin contracts:
Setup 3: Write the NFT Contract
Create a New Solidity File:
Create a new file for your NFT contract:
Write the Token Contract:
Open
src/Token.sol
in your favorite text editor and add the following code:
Compile the Smart Contract:
Use forge to compile the contract:
Test the Smart Contract
Use forge to test the contract:
Step 4: Deploy the Token Contract
Set the private key:
Create a Deployment Script:
Create a new file for the deployment script:
Write the Deployment Script:
Open script/DeployToken.s.sol and add the following code:
Deploy the Contract:
Use forge to deploy the contract to the Pharos Testnet:
Step 5: Interact with the NFT Contract
Open script/InteractToken.s.sol
and add the following code:
Execute the script using forge:
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! 🚀
