Overview
The simplest way to sell one piece of art as an NFT: a focused mint page where every mint is the same image (an open edition). Upload one image, the wizard pins it to IPFS, and your ERC-721 goes live — capped supply, fixed price, per-wallet limit, all set in the browser. No ZIPs, no per-token metadata, no reveal.
NFT Mint shows your artwork big, with a live minted/total meter, the price, a quantity selector and the connected wallet's owned count. Every token shares the same image and metadata — an open edition of one piece.
The setup wizard uploads your single image to IPFS via Pinata, builds the metadata for you, and bakes the token URI into the contract at deploy — revealed from the very first mint, no placeholder step.
Price, supply cap and per-wallet limit are env-driven and set in the wizard. Need a full multi-image PFP collection with allowlist, per-token traits and a delayed reveal? See the NFT Collection template.
What's included
- Next.js app (App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind)
- OpenEdition.sol (ERC-721) + Hardhat
- Setup wizard: single-image IPFS upload + in-browser deploy
- Dockerfile + docker-compose, README
Smart contracts
- OpenEdition.sol — a minimal ERC-721 open edition: public mint with a fixed price, a supply cap and an optional per-wallet limit; tokenURI returns the same metadata (your single artwork) for every token. Owner can set the price, toggle minting and withdraw proceeds (OpenZeppelin ERC721 + Ownable + ReentrancyGuard).
Tech stack & chains
Built with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, viem, ERC-721, IPFS / Pinata.
Runs on: Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, any EVM. The chain is a configuration value — point it at any EVM network or a testnet like Sepolia.
Quick start
After purchase you get a zip of the full source. Unzip it, then install dependencies and start the dev server:
unzip nft-mint.zip && cd nft-mint
npm install
npm run devThe app starts on http://localhost:3007. On first run — before any .env exists — it boots straight into the setup wizard instead of the real app.
Configure with the setup wizard
The wizard collects everything the template needs and writes a .env for you — no hand-editing required to get started.
- Pick the network and (optionally) a read-only RPC URL — test it with the built-in button.
- Choose theme, accent color and font.
- Fill in your token / project details and parameters.
- Deploy the included smart contract(s) straight from your browser wallet (MetaMask). If you set an Etherscan API key, the source is auto-verified.
- Click View .env, copy or download the file, save it as
.envin the project root, and restart the dev server.
npm run compile && npm run deploy). The wizard just makes the happy path clickable.Once a valid .env is present the wizard disappears and the live app renders. Re-running the wizard later is as simple as removing the required values again.
Customize
Branding & content (no code)
Almost everything visible — name, symbol, taglines, descriptions, caps, dates, social links — is an environment variable in .env. Edit the value and restart; the wizard documents each one with a comment.
Appearance is env-driven too: NEXT_PUBLIC_THEME (dark / light / system), NEXT_PUBLIC_ACCENT (any hex color) and NEXT_PUBLIC_FONT. Some fields aren't asked in the wizard on purpose — you'll find them in .env with sensible defaults and can edit them directly.
Languages
The UI ships translated into 10 languages under messages/*.json (en, es, fr, zh, hi, ar, pt, bn, ru, ja). Edit a value to change wording, or add a key — missing keys fall back to English.
Editing the UI
The interface is a small set of React components under components/ styled with Tailwind. The main screen is a single component you can freely edit. On-chain reads are batched through a shared lib/web3.ts helper, so adding a new stat is a one-line read.
Configuration reference
Configuration lives in .env (copy .env.example to start, or let the wizard generate it). Two kinds of variables:
NEXT_PUBLIC_*— read in the browser (token name, addresses, theme, RPC). These are inlined at build time, so set them before you build for production.- Server-only values (deploy keys, private RPC) — never prefixed with
NEXT_PUBLIC_, never shipped to the client.
.env or a private key. .env is git-ignored; the deploy key is only used locally by Hardhat.Deploy the smart contracts
You have two equivalent options. In the browser, the setup wizard's deploy step sends the deploy transaction from your wallet and (with an Etherscan key) verifies the source automatically. From the CLI:
# compile + copy artifacts the app/wizard use
npm run compile
# deploy to the network in your .env (RPC_URL + DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY)
npm run deployCopy the printed contract address into the matching NEXT_PUBLIC_* address variable (the wizard does this for you). Auto-verification retries while the explorer indexes the new contract, so a fresh deploy verifies within a minute or so.
Deploy the app
Vercel (or any Next.js host)
- Push the project to a Git repo and import it in Vercel.
- Add your
.envvalues as Environment Variables (rememberNEXT_PUBLIC_*are baked at build time, so set them before the build). - Deploy. Next.js App Router is fully supported out of the box.
Docker (single template)
Each template ships a multi-stage Dockerfile that produces a tiny distroless runtime (just Node.js + the standalone build — no shell or package manager) and a docker-compose.yml:
# build + run; with no .env it opens the setup wizard
docker compose up --build
# once you have a .env, pass it in:
docker run --env-file .env -p 3007:3000 nft-mintThe container serves on port 3000 internally; the compose file maps it to 3007 on your host. Build-time NEXT_PUBLIC_* values can be passed as build args or baked from a committed .env.
VPS / bare metal
Build once and run the Node server — no Docker required:
npm install
npm run build
npm run start # serves the production buildProduction checklist
- Set
NEXT_PUBLIC_CHAIN_IDto your real chain (mainnet/BNB/Polygon) — not a testnet. - Use a dedicated RPC endpoint (Infura/Alchemy/your node) in
NEXT_PUBLIC_RPC_URLfor reliable reads. - Deploy and verify your contract on the explorer so users can read the source.
- Double-check economic parameters (caps, price, supply, dates) — they're immutable once deployed.
- Set the real
NEXT_PUBLIC_*values at build time, and keep server secrets out of the client.
Support
Each template includes a README with the same steps, an .env.example, and inline comments. Questions about your purchase are answered from the store.
