Motivation

The popularity of (de)generative art (e.g. Degen Ape Academy 6) has been growing on a daily basis on all the progressive and classical networks. Numerous collections have been launched by artists from all over the world adding great value to the communities of blockchain projects, increasing the popularity of charity-related and charity-focused projects spreading the word to the off-chain audience.

Vast communities have been created around collections that connect people with common interests and opinions. A number of blockchain projects benefit greatly from such initiatives as they bring additional value to somewhat ‘faceless technologies’. The popularity creates demand - demand for documentation, tools, and solutions that help artists and creators join the NFT movement easily and comfortably. The less one needs to know and understand the tech behind it - the wider and faster adoption goes.

The goal

To develop a smart contract system and set of scripts that will perform a whole cycle of the creation of a generative NFT collection including but not limited to:

• media and metadata upload into collection generator
• metadata (traits & royalties) support - stored on-chain
• upload of the collection media to the main net or drive-chain or IPFS
• minting by the administrator (zero fees)
• minting by the user with a pre-defined minting price

User flow

The following steps will be performed by the user to see his collection created:

1. Media files preparation
2. Metadata compilation
3. Creation of the collection distributor
4. Uploading the media and metadata into the distributor
5. Configuration of the distribution mechanics (price, dates etc)
6. NFT minting with set parameters

Codebase

Any scripts and smart contracts from previous contests are allowed.

Security

The provided solution has to provide safety to both the user’s funds and NFTs. The ownership of the NFTs in the collection can not be changed by the administrator under any circumstances.

Submission format and requirements

• GitHub repository
• PR in Free Ton repository
• Free Software License
• Submissions with failing builds/tests/samples will be rejected
• Video presentation - a strong plus
• Apart from uploading a submission, a code should be submitted in accordance with GitHub - freeton-org/readme 3
• DeBot for minting an NFT
• Forum post in the same thread as the contest announcement

Evaluation criteria

• Functionality
• Security
• Responsible functions in smart contracts - a strong plus

Code quality & documentation

Documentation should have an explanation of the following basic things working with the smart-contract system:

1. Compile from sources
2. Deploy to the blockchain
3. Verify installation integrity
4. Utilize primary functionality
5. Observe execution results

Each of the steps above must:
a) Have steps to reproduce described in the README file
b) Have specified expected outcome
c) Be consistently reproducible according to the a)
d) Provide means to compare actual results to the expected according to the b)

No third-party technologies should be required for the above except the standard (shipped with the OS).
Any extra dependency should be justified and kept to a minimum.

Score penalties for violations of each of the requirements:

• 0.5 points if minor issues
• 1 point if major issues
• 2 points if the requirement is not met

Voting

• The juror must have a solid understanding of the described technology to provide a score and feedback. If not, the juror should choose to ‘Abstain’.
• Jurors or whose team(s) intend to participate in this contest by providing submissions lose their right to vote in this contest.
• Each juror will vote by rating each submission on a scale of 1 to 10 or can choose to reject it if it does not meet requirements or vote ‘Abstain’ if they feel unqualified to judge.
• Jurors must provide feedback on submissions or lose their reward.
• The Jury will reject duplicate, sub-par, incomplete, or inappropriate submissions.
