Info! Deploying a smart contract is the mainstay of creating an NFT.
To start creating your NFTs we need to deploy a smart contract first.
We need to go to WordPress Admin panel. Then go to Smart NFT and click smart contracts
Here You will see two sections:
- Contracts Balances: Main contract balance and if auction addons available then auction contract balance.
- Already deployed smart contracts: Here you can activate a smart contract or delete it.
- New deployment section: deploy the new smart contract.
Now you need to deploy Markeplace, Proxy and ERC721 contract one by one.
Now you can select a network and start deploying your contract. Once done you will get a confirmation message and the page will reload.
You will be asked to log in with Wallet to pay a gas fee while deploying your contract.
