Customizing the NFT Contract

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to take the existing NFT contract you've been working with and modify it to meet some of the most common needs in the ecosystem. This includes: This includes:


Introductionโ€‹

Now that you have a deeper understanding of basic NFT smart contracts, we can start to get creative and implement more unique features. The basic contract works really well for simple use-cases but as you begin to explore the potential of NFTs, you can use it as a foundation to build upon.

A fun analogy would be that you now have a standard muffin recipe and it's now up to you to decide how to alter it to create your own delicious varieties, may I suggest blueberry perhaps.

Below we've created a few of these new varieties by showing potential solutions to the problems outlined above.

As we demonstrate how to customize the basic NFT contract, we hope it activates your ingenuity thus introducing you to what's possible and helping you discover the true potential of NFTs. ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ’ช


NFT Collections and Seriesโ€‹

NFT Collections help solve two common problems when dealing with the basic NFT contract:

  • Storing repeated data.
  • Organizing data and code.

The concept of a collection in the NFT space has a very loose meaning and can be interpreted in many different ways. In our case, we'll define a collection as a set of tokens that share similar metadata. For example, you could create a painting and want 100 identical copies to be put for sale. In this case, all one hundred pieces would be part of the same collection. Each piece would have the same artist, title, description, media etc.

One of the biggest problems with the basic NFT contract is that you store similar data many times. One of the biggest problems with the basic NFT contract is that you store similar data many times. If you mint NFTs, the contract will store the metadata individually for every single token ID. We can fix this by introducing the idea of a series, or collection, of NFTs. We can fix this by introducing the idea of NFT series, or NFT collection.

A series can be thought of as a bucket of token IDs that all share similar information. This information is specified when the series is created and can be the metadata, royalties, price etc. A series can be thought of as a bucket of token IDs that all share similar information. This information is specified when the series is created and can be the metadata, royalties, price etc. Rather than storing this information for every token ID, you can simply store it once in the series and then associate token IDs with their respective buckets.


Restricted Accessโ€‹

Currently, the NFT contract allows anyone to mint NFTs. While this works well for some projects, the vast majority of dApps and creators want to restrict who can create NFTs on the contract. This is why you'll introduce an allowlist functionality for both series and for NFTs. You'll have two data structures customizable by the contract owner:

  • Approved Minters
  • Approved Creators

If you're an approved minter, you can freely mint NFTs for any given series. You cannot, however, create new series. You cannot, however, create new series.

On the other hand, you can also be an approved creator. This allows you to define new series that NFTs can be minted from. It's important to note that if you're an approved creator, you're not automatically an approved minter as well. Each of these permissions need to be given by the owner of the contract and they can be revoked at any time.


Lazy Mintingโ€‹

Lazy minting allows users to mint on demand. Lazy minting allows users to mint on demand. Rather than minting all the NFTs and spending $NEAR on storage, you can instead mint the tokens when they are purchased. This helps to avoid burning unnecessary Gas and saves on storage for when not all the NFTs are purchased. Let's look at a common scenario to help solidify your understanding: This helps to avoid burning unnecessary Gas and saves on storage for when not all the NFTs are purchased. Let's look at a common scenario to help solidify your understanding:

Benji has created an amazing digital painting of the famous Go Team gif. He wants to sell 1000 copies of it for 1 $NEAR each. Using the traditional approach, he would have to mint each copy individually and pay for the storage himself. He would then need to either find or deploy a marketplace contract and pay for the storage to put 1000 copies up for sale. He would need to burn Gas putting each token ID up for sale 1 by 1. He wants to sell 1000 copies of it for 1 $NEAR each. Using the traditional approach, he would have to mint each copy individually and pay for the storage himself. He would then need to either find or deploy a marketplace contract and pay for the storage to put 1000 copies up for sale. He would need to burn Gas putting each token ID up for sale 1 by 1.

After that, people would purchase the NFTs, and there would be no guarantee that all or even any would be sold. After that, people would purchase the NFTs, and there would be no guarantee that all or even any would be sold. There's a real possibility that nobody buys a single piece of his artwork, and Benji spent all that time, effort and money on nothing. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Lazy minting would allow the NFTs to be automatically minted on-demand. Lazy minting would allow the NFTs to be automatically minted on-demand. Rather than having to purchase NFTs from a marketplace, Benji could specify a price on the NFT contract and a user could directly call the nft_mint function whereby the funds would be distributed to Benji's account directly.

Using this model, NFTs would only be minted when they're actually purchased and there wouldn't be any upfront fee that Benji would need to pay in order to mint all 1000 NFTs. In addition, it removes the need to have a separate marketplace contract. In addition, it removes the need to have a separate marketplace contract.

With this example laid out, a high level overview of lazy minting is that it gives the ability for someone to mint "on-demand" - they're lazily minting the NFTs instead of having to mint everything up-front even if they're unsure if there's any demand for the NFTs. With this model, you don't have to waste Gas or storage fees because you're only ever minting when someone actually purchases the artwork. With this model, you don't have to waste Gas or storage fees because you're only ever minting when someone actually purchases the artwork.


New Contract File Structureโ€‹

Let's now take a look at how we've implemented solutions to the issues we've discussed so far.

In your locally cloned example of the nft-tutorial check out the main branch and be sure to pull the most recent version.

git checkout main && git pull

You'll notice that there's a folder at the root of the project called nft-series. This is where the smart contract code lives. If you open the src folder, it should look similar to the following: This is where the smart contract code lives. If you open the src folder, it should look similar to the following:

src
โ”œโ”€โ”€ approval.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ enumeration.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ events.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ internal.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ lib.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ metadata.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ nft_core.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ owner.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ royalty.rs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ series.rs

Differencesโ€‹

You'll notice that most of this code is the same, however, there are a few differences between this contract and the basic NFT contract.

Main Library Fileโ€‹

Starting with lib.rs, you'll notice that the contract struct has been modified to now store the following information.

pub owner_id: AccountId,
+ pub approved_minters: LookupSet<AccountId>,
+ pub approved_creators: LookupSet<AccountId>,
pub tokens_per_owner: LookupMap<AccountId, UnorderedSet<TokenId>>,
pub tokens_by_id: UnorderedMap<TokenId, Token>,
- pub token_metadata_by_id: UnorderedMap<TokenId, TokenMetadata>,
+ pub series_by_id: UnorderedMap<SeriesId, Series>,
pub metadata: LazyOption<NFTContractMetadata>,

As you can see, we've replaced token_metadata_by_id with series_by_id and added two lookup sets:

  • series_by_id: Map a series ID (u64) to its Series object.
  • approved_minters: Keeps track of accounts that can call the nft_mint function.
  • approved_creators: Keeps track of accounts that can create new series.

Series Objectโ€‹

In addition, we're now keeping track of a new object called a Series.

pub struct Series {
// Metadata including title, num copies etc.. pub struct Series {
// Metadata including title, num copies etc.. that all tokens will derive from
metadata: TokenMetadata,
// Royalty used for all tokens in the collection
royalty: Option<HashMap<AccountId, u32>>,
// Set of tokens in the collection
tokens: UnorderedSet<TokenId>,
// What is the price of each token in this series? If this is specified, when minting,
// Users will need to attach enough $NEAR to cover the price.
price: Option<Balance>,
// Owner of the collection
owner_id: AccountId,
} If this is specified, when minting,
// Users will need to attach enough $NEAR to cover the price.
price: Option<Balance>,
// Owner of the collection
owner_id: AccountId,
}

This object stores information that each token will inherit from. This includes: This includes:

If a price is specified, there will be no restriction on who can mint tokens in the series. In addition, if the copies field is specified in the metadata, only that number of NFTs can be minted. If the field is omitted, an unlimited amount of tokens can be minted. ::: In addition, if the copies field is specified in the metadata, only that number of NFTs can be minted. If the field is omitted, an unlimited amount of tokens can be minted. :::

We've also added a field tokens which keeps track of all the token IDs that have been minted for this series. This allows us to deal with the potential copies cap by checking the length of the set. It also allows us to paginate through all the tokens in the series. This allows us to deal with the potential copies cap by checking the length of the set. It also allows us to paginate through all the tokens in the series.


Creating Seriesโ€‹

series.rs is a new file that replaces the old minting logic. This file has been created to combine both the series creation and minting logic into one. This file has been created to combine both the series creation and minting logic into one.

The function takes in a series ID in the form of a u64, the metadata, royalties, and the price for tokens in the series. It will then create the Series object and insert it into the contract's series_by_id data structure. It's important to note that the caller must be an approved creator and they must attach enough $NEAR to cover storage costs. It will then create the Series object and insert it into the contract's series_by_id data structure. It's important to note that the caller must be an approved creator and they must attach enough $NEAR to cover storage costs.


Minting NFTsโ€‹

Next, we'll look at the minting function. Next, we'll look at the minting function. If you remember from before, this used to take the following parameters:

  • Token ID
  • Metadata
  • Receiver ID
  • Perpetual Royalties

With the new and improved minting function, these parameters have been changed to just two:

  • The series ID
  • The receiver ID.

The mint function might look complicated at first but let's break it down to understand what's happening. The first thing it does is get the series object from the specified series ID. From there, it will check that the number of copies won't be exceeded if one is specified in the metadata.

It will then store the token information on the contract as explained in the minting section of the tutorial and map the token ID to the series. Once this is finished, a mint log will be emitted and it will ensure that enough deposit has been attached to the call. This amount differs based on whether or not the series has a price. Once this is finished, a mint log will be emitted and it will ensure that enough deposit has been attached to the call. This amount differs based on whether or not the series has a price.

Required Depositโ€‹

As we went over in the minting section of this tutorial, all information stored on the contract costs $NEAR. When minting, there is a required deposit to pay for this storage. For this contract, a series price can also be specified by the owner when the series is created. This price will be used for all NFTs in the series when they are minted. If the price is specified, the deposit must cover both the storage as well as the price. When minting, there is a required deposit to pay for this storage. For this contract, a series price can also be specified by the owner when the series is created. This price will be used for all NFTs in the series when they are minted. If the price is specified, the deposit must cover both the storage as well as the price.

If a price is specified and the user attaches more deposit than what is necessary, the excess is sent to the series owner. There is also no restriction on who can mint tokens for series that have a price. The caller does not need to be an approved minter.

If no price was specified in the series and the user attaches more deposit than what is necessary, the excess is refunded to them. In addition, the contract makes sure that the caller is an approved minter in this case. In addition, the contract makes sure that the caller is an approved minter in this case.

Notice how the token ID isn't required? This is because the token ID is automatically generated when minting. :::info Notice how the token ID isn't required? This is because the token ID is automatically generated when minting. The ID stored on the contract is ${series_id}:${token_id} where the token ID is a nonce that increases each time a new token is minted in a series. This not only reduces the amount of information stored on the contract but it also acts as a way to check the specific edition number. ::: This not only reduces the amount of information stored on the contract but it also acts as a way to check the specific edition number. :::

View Functionsโ€‹

Now that we've introduced the idea of series, more view functions have also been added.

Notice how we've also created a new struct JsonSeries instead of returning the regular Series struct. This is because the Series struct contains an UnorderedSet which cannot be serialized. This is because the Series struct contains an UnorderedSet which cannot be serialized.

The common practice is to return everything except the UnorderedSet in a separate struct and then have entirely different methods for accessing the data from the UnorderedSet itself.

The view functions are listed below.

  • get_series: Paginate through all the series in the contract and return a vector of JsonSeries objects.
    • Arguments: from_index: String | null, limit: number | null.
  • get_series_details: Get the JsonSeries details for a specific series.
    • Arguments: id: number.
  • nft_supply_for_series: View the total number of NFTs minted for a specific series.
    • Arguments: id: number.
  • nft_tokens_for_series: Paginate through all NFTs for a specific series and return a vector of JsonToken objects.
    • Arguments: id: number, from_index: String | null, limit: number | null.
Notice how with every pagination function, we've also included a getter to view the total supply. :::info Notice how with every pagination function, we've also included a getter to view the total supply. This is so that you can use the from_index and limit parameters of the pagination functions in conjunction with the total supply so you know where to end your pagination. ::: :::

Modifying View Calls for Optimizationsโ€‹

Storing information on-chain can be very expensive. Storing information on-chain can be very expensive. As you level up in your smart contract development skills, one area to look into is reducing the amount of information stored. View calls are a perfect example of this optimization. View calls are a perfect example of this optimization.

For example, if you wanted to relay the edition number for a given NFT in its title, you don't necessarily need to store this on-chain for every token. Instead, you could modify the view functions to manually append this information to the title before returning it. Instead, you could modify the view functions to manually append this information to the title before returning it.

To do this, here's a way of modifying the nft_token function as it's central to all enumeration methods.

For example if a token had a title "My Amazing Go Team Gif" and the NFT was edition 42, the new title returned would be "My Amazing Go Team Gif - 42". If the NFT didn't have a title in the metadata, the series and edition number would be returned in the form of Series {} : Edition {}. If the NFT didn't have a title in the metadata, the series and edition number would be returned in the form of Series {} : Edition {}.

While this is a small optimization, this idea is extremely powerful as you can potentially save on a ton of storage. As an example: most of the time NFTs don't utilize the following fields in their metadata. As an example: most of the time NFTs don't utilize the following fields in their metadata.

  • issued_at
  • expires_at
  • starts_at
  • updated_at

As an optimization, you could change the token metadata that's stored on the contract to not include these fields but then when returning the information in nft_token, you could simply add them in as null values.


Owner Fileโ€‹

The last file we'll look at is the owner file found at owner.rs. The last file we'll look at is the owner file found at owner.rs. This file simply contains all the functions for getting and setting approved creators and approved minters which can only be called by the contract owner.

There are some other smaller changes made to the contract that you can check out if you'd like. The most notable are: The most notable are:
  • The Token and JsonToken objects have been changed to reflect the new series IDs.
  • All references to token_metadata_by_id have been changed to tokens_by_id
  • Royalty functions now calculate the payout objects by using the series' royalties rather than the token's royalties. ::: :::

Building the Contractโ€‹

Now that you hopefully have a good understanding of the contract, let's get started building it. Run the following build command to compile the contract to wasm. Run the following build command to compile the contract to wasm.

cargo near build

Deployment and Initializationโ€‹

Next, you'll deploy this contract to the network.

export NFT_CONTRACT_ID=<accountId>
near account create-account sponsor-by-faucet-service $NFT_CONTRACT_ID autogenerate-new-keypair save-to-legacy-keychain network-config testnet create

Check if this worked correctly by echoing the environment variable.

echo $NFT_CONTRACT_ID

This should return your <accountId>. This should return your <accountId>. The next step is to initialize the contract with some default metadata.

cargo near deploy $NFT_CONTRACT_ID with-init-call new_default_meta json-args '{"owner_id": "'$NFT_CONTRACT_ID'"}' prepaid-gas '100.0 Tgas' attached-deposit '0 NEAR' network-config testnet sign-with-keychain send

If you now query for the metadata of the contract, it should return our default metadata.

near contract call-function as-read-only $NFT_CONTRACT_ID nft_metadata json-args {} network-config testnet now

Creating The Seriesโ€‹

The next step is to create two different series. One will have a price for lazy minting and the other will simply be a basic series with no price. The first step is to create an owner sub-account that you can use to create both series

export SERIES_OWNER=owner.$NFT_CONTRACT_ID

near account create-account fund-myself $SERIES_OWNER '3 NEAR' autogenerate-new-keypair save-to-legacy-keychain sign-as $NFT_CONTRACT_ID network-config testnet sign-with-legacy-keychain send

Basic Seriesโ€‹

You'll now need to create the simple series with no price and no royalties. You'll now need to create the simple series with no price and no royalties. If you try to run the following command before adding the owner account as an approved creator, the contract should throw an error.

near contract call-function as-transaction $NFT_CONTRACT_ID create_series json-args '{"id": 1, "metadata": {"title": "SERIES!", "description": "testing out the new series contract", "media": "https://bafybeiftczwrtyr3k7a2k4vutd3amkwsmaqyhrdzlhvpt33dyjivufqusq.ipfs.dweb.link/goteam-gif.gif"}}' prepaid-gas '100.0 Tgas' attached-deposit '1 NEAR' sign-as $SERIES_OWNER network-config testnet sign-with-legacy-keychain send

The expected output is an error thrown: ExecutionError: 'Smart contract panicked: only approved creators can add a type. If you now add the series owner as a creator, it should work. If you now add the series owner as a creator, it should work.

If you now query for the series information, it should work!

near contract call-function as-read-only $NFT_CONTRACT_ID get_series json-args {} network-config testnet now

Which should return something similar to:

[
{
series_id: 1,
metadata: {
title: 'SERIES!',
description: 'testing out the new series contract',
media: 'https://bafybeiftczwrtyr3k7a2k4vutd3amkwsmaqyhrdzlhvpt33dyjivufqusq.ipfs.dweb.link/goteam-gif.gif',

owner_id: 'owner.nft_contract.testnet'
}
]

Series With a Priceโ€‹

Now that you've created the first, simple series, let's create the second one that has a price of 1 $NEAR associated with it.

near contract call-function as-transaction $NFT_CONTRACT_ID create_series json-args '{"id": 2, "metadata": {"title": "COMPLEX SERIES!", "description": "testing out the new contract with a complex series", "media": "https://bafybeiftczwrtyr3k7a2k4vutd3amkwsmaqyhrdzlhvpt33dyjivufqusq.ipfs.dweb.link/goteam-gif.gif"}, "price": "500000000000000000000000"}' prepaid-gas '100.0 Tgas' attached-deposit '1 NEAR' sign-as $SERIES_OWNER network-config testnet sign-with-legacy-keychain send

If you now paginate through the series again, you should see both appear.

near contract call-function as-read-only $NFT_CONTRACT_ID get_series json-args {} network-config testnet now

Which has

Minting NFTsโ€‹

Now that you have both series created, it's time to now mint some NFTs. Now that you have both series created, it's time to now mint some NFTs. You can either login with an existing NEAR wallet using near login or you can create a sub-account of the NFT contract. In our case, we'll use a sub-account. In our case, we'll use a sub-account.

export BUYER_ID=buyer.$NFT_CONTRACT_ID

near account create-account fund-myself $BUYER_ID '1 NEAR' autogenerate-new-keypair save-to-legacy-keychain sign-as $NFT_CONTRACT_ID network-config testnet sign-with-legacy-keychain send

Lazy Mintingโ€‹

The first workflow you'll test out is lazy minting NFTs. If you remember, the second series has a price associated with it of 1 $NEAR. This means that there are no minting restrictions and anyone can try and purchase the NFT. Let's try it out. If you remember, the second series has a price associated with it of 1 $NEAR. This means that there are no minting restrictions and anyone can try and purchase the NFT. Let's try it out.

In order to view the NFT in the NEAR wallet, you'll want the receiver_id to be an account you have currently available in the wallet site. Let's export it to an environment variable. Run the following command but replace YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID_HERE with your actual NEAR account ID. Let's export it to an environment variable. Run the following command but replace YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID_HERE with your actual NEAR account ID.

export NFT_RECEIVER_ID=YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID_HERE

Now if you try and run the mint command but don't attach enough $NEAR, it should throw an error.

near contract call-function as-transaction $NFT_CONTRACT_ID nft_mint json-args '{"id": "2", "receiver_id": "'$NFT_RECEIVER_ID'"}' prepaid-gas '100.0 Tgas' attached-deposit '0 NEAR' sign-as $BUYER_ID network-config testnet sign-with-legacy-keychain send

Run the command again but this time, attach 1.5 $NEAR.

near contract call-function as-transaction $NFT_CONTRACT_ID nft_mint json-args '{"id": "2", "receiver_id": "'$NFT_RECEIVER_ID'"}' prepaid-gas '100.0 Tgas' attached-deposit '1.5 NEAR' sign-as $BUYER_ID network-config testnet sign-with-legacy-keychain send

This should output the following logs.

If you check the explorer link, it should show that the owner received on the order of 0.59305 $NEAR.


Becoming an Approved Minterโ€‹

If you try to mint the NFT for the simple series with no price, it should throw an error saying you're not an approved minter.

near contract call-function as-transaction $NFT_CONTRACT_ID nft_mint json-args '{"id": "1", "receiver_id": "'$NFT_RECEIVER_ID'"}' prepaid-gas '100.0 Tgas' attached-deposit '0.1 NEAR' sign-as $BUYER_ID network-config testnet sign-with-legacy-keychain send

Go ahead and run the following command to add the buyer account as an approved minter.

near contract call-function as-transaction $NFT_CONTRACT_ID add_approved_minter json-args '{"account_id": "'$BUYER_ID'"}' prepaid-gas '100.0 Tgas' attached-deposit '0 NEAR' sign-as $NFT_CONTRACT_ID network-config testnet sign-with-legacy-keychain send

If you now run the mint command again, it should work.

Viewing the NFTs in the Walletโ€‹

Now that you've received both NFTs, they should show up in the NEAR wallet. Now that you've received both NFTs, they should show up in the NEAR wallet. Open the collectibles tab and search for the contract with the title NFT Series Contract and you should own two NFTs. One should be the complex series and the other should just be the simple version. Both should have - 1 appended to the end of the title because the NFTs are the first editions for each series. One should be the complex series and the other should just be the simple version.

Conclusionโ€‹

In this tutorial, you learned how to take the basic NFT contract and iterate on it to create a complex and custom version to meet the needs of the community. In this tutorial, you learned how to take the basic NFT contract and iterate on it to create a complex and custom version to meet the needs of the community. You optimized the storage, introduced the idea of collections, created a lazy minting functionality, hacked the enumeration functions to save on storage, and created an allowlist functionality.

You then built the contract and deployed it on chain. Once it was on-chain, you initialized it and created two sets of series. One was complex with a price and the other was a regular series. You lazy minted an NFT and purchased it for 1.5 $NEAR and then added yourself as an approved minter. You then built the contract and deployed it on chain.
