🖇️Custom IPFS URI
If you have already uploaded your metadata and images to IPFS and you want to enter this information instead of uploading it again to IPFS, you can do using Mintpad.
When creating a project, select the "IPFS URI" tab and paste your IPFS URI. This mode is active when creating a new NFT project using the "Editions" or "Drop" mode.
The fields that you must fill in are:
IPFS URI where the metadata is located. At this point, it is important to know the format that should be used in the .json files. The first token has to be ipfs://IPFSURI/1.json, the second would be ipfs://IPFSURI/2.json, and so on until the total supply. If the total supply is 100, the last token would be ipfs://IPFSURI/100.json. Important about the IPFSURI format of "Content Identifiers" (CIDs), some examples would be:
v0: QmdfTbBqBPQ7VNxZEYEj14VmRuZBkqFbiwReogJgS1zR1n
v1: bafybeihdwdwdcefgh4dqkjv67uzcmw7ojee6xedzdetojuzjevtenxquvyku
Total supply of the collection. The number must coincide with the number of .json files that have been uploaded. If there is an error, the tool will warn you if it has failed to find the last JSON file, and you will see something like this:
