Deploy a NFT
This guide walks you through creating and deploying an NFT smart contract using OpenZeppelin Smart Contract Wizard and Remix, 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 to acquire BTC and set up the IBVM network.
🛠 Step 1: Open OpenZeppelin Smart Contract Wizard
Navigate to OpenZeppelin Wizard 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:
Compile the contract (set EVM version to Shanghai).
Go to Deploy & Run Transactions.
Set Environment to “Injected Provider - MetaMask”.
Ensure your MetaMask is connected to IBVM Testnet.
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.
