NFT Drop - ERC721 | Published Smart Contract

Release collection of unique NFTs for a set price. Deploy NFT Drop in one click with thirdweb.

thirdweb.com

• Connect your wallet and click “Deploy Now” 👇🏻

Upload an image, and give the contract a name and a symbol. Finally, select “Base Goerli Testnet” on the Network/Chain option and deploy > Confirm 2 txn on the wallet.

• Upon the successful completion of the transaction, it can be confirmed that you have successfully deployed a contract on the Base testnet. 🎉

• 
  

• Now go to the NFT claim page:

  https://quests.base.org/quest

• Connect your wallet and paste your smart contract address here and verify 👇🏻

• 
  

• Once verified, you can claim your NFT 🥳

Before we start:

• Make sure to add the Shardeum Sphinx testnet to Metamask first. You can add it from here.

  https://docs.shardeum.org/Network/Endpoints#connect-wallet

• And claim faucets on their Discord server. Go to the “faucet-1.1” channel and type /faucet and enter your wallet address.

• 
  

• All set? Let’s begin the process then!

  First, go to Openzeppelin. Openzeppelin is a web-based application that allows developers to perform and automate smart contract operations in an easier & secure way.

  Contracts Wizard - OpenZeppelin Docs docs.openzeppelin.com Now give the name of your token, token symbol, and token supply. Eg. Token name = Shardeum, Symbol= SHM, Premint= 10000000

  And click on “Open in Remix” 👇🏻

• 
  

• This page will open 👇🏻

• 
  

• Go to the “Solidity Compiler” page (3rd option on the left)

  And click on the “Compile contract” button 👇🏻

• 
  

• If there is no error, you’ll see a green check mark on the “Solidity Compiler” button 👇🏻

• 
  

• Now go to the “Deploy” page (4th option on the left)

  • Choose “Injected Provider” on the ENVIRONMENT option.

  • Once selected, a popup will appear to connect your Metamask wallet. (If you used Remix before, it will auto-detect your wallet, no need to connect again)

  Now click on the “Deploy” button 👇🏻

• 
  

• A Metamask pop-up will appear to confirm the transaction. Just approve it!

  Once the transaction is successful, you’ll see your deployed contract 👇🏻

• 
  

• Congrats!!! 🎉🚀 You’ve successfully deployed a contract on the Shardeum Sphinx testnet!!! This may come in handy later when Shardeum launches on mainnet and do their token airdrop!

  P.S. If the transaction fails, try increasing the gas to 20 or even more. If the issue still remains, try after a few hours or days.

• 
  

• That’s it for now.

1. Open the mail and click on the login link.

2. Login using your email id and password.

3. Click "Create New Key", select network as "Web3 API" and create a name for your project.

4. After creating the key, scroll down and copy the "ConsenSys zkEVM" link.

1. Now, open this link: https://goerli.zkevm.consensys.net

and paste the copied "ConsenSys zkEVM endpoint" URL. 6. Next, Connect, Add network, and Check Goerli ETH balance.

Now, if you don't have ETH on Goerli, you can claim using this faucet: https://goerlifaucet.com

1. Bridge ETH from Goerli to zkEVM. (Now it will be successful, only if your address is whitelisted)

2. Now you are ready to test out the network by using the DApps listed here: https://goerli.zkevm.consensys.net/explore

3. You can provide feedback using this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSen0KN2uqKMJuUxBH8yTfwrb-xdN48kA-NmO-DSCJMYRdQyMA/viewform

Polygon is no stranger to the Galxe community. Everyone’s favorite Galxe OAT (On-chain Achievement Token) has been the top ERC-721 contract on Polygon since its inception in 2022. In the meantime, Polygon has launched numerous campaigns such as Polygon Genesis Creators and PoS Validator 2022 on Galxe. After successful collaborations in 2022, Galxe and Polygon continue to create impactful Web3 experiences for our communities together.

What you might not know is that Polygon also has built a big and exciting DeFi ecosystem. Polygon uses a combination of technologies such as Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, proof-of-stake consensus, and smart contracts to provide a scalable and secure infrastructure for decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. It aims to address some of the scalability and usability issues that have been a challenge for Ethereum and other blockchain networks, such as high transaction fees and slow transaction times. The network also supports interoperability with other blockchain networks, allowing for the seamless transfer of assets and data across different blockchains. To date, Polygon is powering and helping a total of 674 DeFi projects grow and scale!

The cornerstone of Aleo’s solution is zkCloud, which includes the snarkOS blockchain and snarkVM, an off-chain, private environment for processing transactions at scale.

!\The Aleo blockchain, snarkOS, is a decentralized network consisting of nodes running a novel proof-of-succinct-work consensus protocol. SnarkOS's purpose is to maintain state – securing data in a decentralized network – and verify proofs that represent state transactions.

\

The core of the Aleo execution model is snarkVM. Unlike the Ethereum virtual machine, snarkVM enables clients to run computations off-chain, publishing only the proof of the computation on-chain. This model enables greater scalability and unlimited application runtime.

To help developers write private applications, Aleo has created a programming language called Leo. The Leo language was influenced by programming languages such as JavaScript, Scala, and Rust, with a strong emphasis on readability and ease-of-use.

Aleo’s open-source network will offer robust support for building, deploying, and running private applications on the web. The company is betting that a stable token economy, with predictable prices, will provide the perfect foundation for the next generation of ZK.Do you know why Aleo will be very successful? Simple, the answer is the team. The Aleo team is fantastic, professional and super experienced. You can get to know it here: https://linkedin.com/company/aleohq/ P.S. Every successful project has an incredible team behind it.I believe Aleo is well positioned as one of the few large-scale, zero-knowledge native blockchains. The company has the ability to attract developers and users to its innovative new ecosystem. Aleo attracted investments of ~300 million dollars from the best investors.

Aleo's open source permissionless network promises to provide a secure foundation for the next generation of decentralized applications that are both private and scalable. I consider this a great advantage.Aleo has all the necessary package (technology, utility, scalability, funds, idea) to become a world TOP that will serve millions of users. I recommend this awesome project!

Ale! Ale! Aleo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!

• Keplr: https://keplr.app

• Coin98: https://coin98.com

The RPC for SEI testnet is added by default in coin98, but if you have keplr then you might need to connect your wallet here and add the network:

https://trade.vortexprotocol.io

![2. Getting $SEI test tokens for minting and transactions. Try this: https://app.seinetwork.io/faucet/

OR

Discord method: http://bit.ly/3F92m9c](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/YxBMyVEsCmFi67TIVmhDd.png?height=976&width=1739)

Now after getting the test tokens, you need to make at least 30+ transactions. You can either complete manual transactions (ie. sending tokens to other addresses) or interact with dapps on Sei, such as Vortex. Vortex: https://trade.vortexprotocol.io

I suggest doing the p2p transaction, you can send as low as 0.001 $SEI to another testnet address.

• Create a new testnet address and send it to that address.

• Send/ Receive 30+ times.
