NFT-Minting-Discord-Bot
To make a bot that automatically lazy mints photos as NFT. Choose discord to listen to messages on a specific channel, if the message is an image, then mint it as an NFT on a blockchain of our choice.
The problem NFT-Minting-Discord-Bot solves
As a server specifically used for NFTs, our bot will be of a great use, the bot will automatically detect the discord messages if they're an image, and will lazy mint those images as NFTs on the blockchain without using any website. The bot will then reply with the transaction hash of the minted NFT on the same channel. As the world of NFTs is booming right now, the NFTs get sold out real quick, our bot will let you buy these NFTs really fast before everybody else. The biggest advantage is that we can buy or create NFTs before othe people do.
Challenges we ran into
- To fetch the specific messages from the discord channel which were images along with the image's name and description. This issue was solved by understanding the input message type and learning how to fetch the specific fields by using discord.js to interact with the discord API.
- Since we're not using a website and directly minitng, it was very challenging for us to connect to the Ethereum Blockchain without the MetaMask. We resolved this issue by using Ethers.js instead of Web3.js
- Since NFTs are being minted on the local blockchain i.e ganache, we're not able to provide the NFT link, but we're providing the transaction hash of the minted NFT on the same discord channel.
- As NFTs are not being minted on the test networks (in our case, it's ropsten). It was difficult for us to get the transcation details for the specific NFT.
