This will send all of those properties that were generated during minting, as well as the visuals over to Opensea. However, many buyers will list their NFT and sell it even before the reveal.Īfter the delay is complete, the developers will push the metadata live. Unless the developers are idiots, you can’t read the metadata yet. In this case, buyers will have a placeholder image over their NFT inside their wallet or Opensea account. That is, once their project has launched for minting – nothing is revealed for a certain number of days. In the event of delayed revealsĪ large proportion of projects use a delayed reveal.
Let’s run through a few instances in which you can utilise this new knowledge to gain some genuinely powerful competitive advantages. Now if you search that in your address bar, bingo a beautiful Junkyard Dog. Ipfs.io/ipfs/QmbSGU514KfUcYLqUKT3536rmWm2GjFyQGzKGQmYW3BzDZ You need to edit this slightly by adding ‘ ipfs.io/‘ at the start and removing the ‘ :/‘ after the ‘ ipfs‘. You can’t go to that because it is not a real working URL. In the example above you will see the URL looks like this: ipfs://QmbSGU514KfUcYLqUKT3536rmWm2GjFyQGzKGQmYW3BzDZ
IMAGE METADATA READER HOW TO
I am not going to go into detail on what that is but I will show you how to find the image in these situations. In other cases your image may be stored on IPFS. In that case you can just go to the URL and you will see the image of your NFT. You just need to take the url it gives you inside that string in the previous image. You may want to view the actual visual itself and you can do this too. Go you, you evil metadata sniper! How To View The Actual Image/Visuals You’ll be given all of the metadata in a string like this: Go to that url inside your main address bar inside whatever browser you use. This will pull a url string from the API. Next you are going to hit that ‘ Query‘ button. Click on that and enter the token ID of the NFT you are attempting to look up. Scroll down (usually right to the bottom) to the tab titled, tokenURI. We will now interact with the contract in order to access the metadata. This should take you to a page similar to this: Enter Your Token ID You now want to click ‘ contract‘ followed by ‘ read contract‘. You should have the contract up in front of you.
Click that link and it will take you to the contract on Etherscan. If you scroll down and click on ‘Details’ you’ll see ‘contract address’ and to the right a blue clickable link containing the Ethereum address of the contract. You can test this out with a live project. If you are stuck and can’t find it, go click onto any NFT from the project on Opensea.
You can find this usually on the project website, on the project discord group or by searching directly on Etherscan. First things first, you are going to need to get the public contract. It can look complicated but it really isn’t. That delay is the backdoor we are looking for. There is usually a delay in the time the NFT is minted and the time that Opensea is able to pull that metadata through. If you knew which NFT had which properties before anyone else, wouldn’t that be fantastic? That combination of traits can be the difference between a 0.1 eth value and a 100 eth value.
IMAGE METADATA READER GENERATOR
When a NFT project is set live for minting and you buy, a random number generator will allocate a set of traits to your NFT. Either way, if they had read this article, they wouldn’t have listed their NFT during the reveal… Why Should You Read the NFT Contract? Do I feel bad for the seller? NGL, maybe a little – it’s also one hell of a buzz when you find a rare one listed. Learning how to do this will enable you to access a window of time where you will have a competitive advantage against others in sniping rare NFTs. Although perhaps no longer a HUGE secret, it is definitely a tactic that will give you a leg up. There are a few secrets worth knowing when getting into the NFT world – this is one of them.
