MINTING

Last updated - August 09, 2023

What is minting?

Minting an NFT is the act of publishing a unique representation of your ERC-721A token on the Ethereum blockchain. To mint you will need:

  • An Ethereum (ETH) wallet, specifically, MetaMask.
  • An amount in the wallet at least equal to the price of the Toward Hemelslinn NFT you wish to purchase.
  • Some additional ETH to pay gas fees.

Each Toward Hemelslinn NFT is unique, randomly generated from hundreds of different attributes with varying rarity. Each image of the THL collection is stored in a non-fungible ERC-721A token distributed on the Ethereum network. Its metadata and image are stored on IPFS. You will be the holder of that unique THL! You will mint your NFT THL on our official website during one of the minting stages. The Toward Hemelslinn NFT collection will be released as a unique set of 10,000 artworks. All of these 10,000 NFTs will be released during three phases, until they run out:

  • Whitelist mint (presale).
  • Public mint.
  • Reserved mint.

Each NFT in the THL NFT collection will be assigned an ID from the starting sequence calculated with this formula:

(tokenId + StartingIndex)% 10000 -> Starting Sequence Index

At the end of the minting we will report the final starting index. We will then always refer to the NFT THLs using their ID. The provenance hashes of the images and metadata will be entered unalterably into the smart contract. This will ensure that no one, not even the development team, will be able to modify the images or metadata.

The same will be done for the ebooks in the collection. The provenance hash of the ebooks will also be stored indelibly in the smart contract. In addition, the sha256 hashes of all 10,000 epub ebooks in the collection will be entered into the smart contract on Ethereum blockchain.

For more information on the provenance of NFTs and ebooks see the Provenance page.
