# Deploy a NFT

This guide walks you through creating and deploying an NFT smart contract using [**OpenZeppelin Smart Contract Wizard**](https://wizard.openzeppelin.com/) and [**Remix**](https://remix.ethereum.org/), the web-based IDE for Contract Deployment

Before you begin, ensure you have **BTCs in your wallet** and that the **IBVM Testnet** is added. If not, follow the [**Faucet guide**](/ibvm-doc/faucet.md) to acquire BTC and set up the IBVM network.

### 🛠 Step 1: Open OpenZeppelin Smart Contract Wizard

Navigate to [OpenZeppelin Wizard](https://wizard.openzeppelin.com/#erc721) in your browser. You’ll be greeted with an interface to customize your smart contract.

#### Select the **ERC721** template

Choose **ERC721** (NFT standard) from the list of contract types. This will generate a basic NFT smart contract structure.

### ✏️ Step 2: Fill in NFT Details

Customize your contract with the following:

* **Name** – e.g., “MyArtCollection”
* **Symbol** – e.g., “ART”
* Optional features:
  * ✅ **Mintable** – Allow new NFTs to be created.
  * ✅ **Burnable** – Allow NFTs to be destroyed.
  * ✅ **Enumerable** – Keep track of all tokens.
  * ✅ **URI Storage** – Store metadata (images, traits) with token URIs.

Once configured, you’ll see a preview of the contract code generated live.

### 🚀 Step 3: Move to Remix

Click the **“Open in Remix”** button to transfer your generated NFT contract into the Remix IDE.

Once in Remix:

1. Compile the contract (set EVM version to **Shanghai**).
2. Go to **Deploy & Run Transactions**.
3. Set **Environment** to “Injected Provider - MetaMask”.
4. Ensure your MetaMask is connected to **IBVM Testnet**.
5. Click **Deploy** and confirm the transaction in Wallet.

### 🎉 Congratulations!

You’ve successfully deployed an **NFT contract** on IBVM using OpenZeppelin and Remix. You can now mint NFTs and link metadata like artwork, collectibles, or access passes to each token.

Use a token ID and metadata URI to mint new NFTs through your contract.
