Funtionality

This is a standalone bot that can be implemented in any server and configurable by a single file. The bot aims to make minting easy for the regular user in a fun way; straight from discord! There are some kinks such as paid networks - but free networks this can help with community interaction, have folks come just to make a mint of their dog, house, photo in spain, whatever.

/mint title description method network recipient image

Standard Paramaters: title: title of the nft description: description of the nft method: gives you options such as web3 and email. network: select a network for your method. recipient: either an address or email. image: the image you want to mint

Configuration

In the main directory there is a .env folder. Please edit the form to reflect your own parameters. You will need to create a Discord bot on the Discord Developer console.

Finally youll need an API key and project ID from CrossMint Console. For free mints we use staging @ polygon-mumbai.

How do we run this thing?

Clone or download the directory. On the command line, run npm i to install all dependancies and then node index.js & to run this bot. You can also leverage pm2 as a service, this is optional. If you run into issues with module not found for node:fs, please run npm i -D @types/node

discord.js might throw out Intents.FLAGS error - if it does, please use npm install discord.js@13.9.0

Example Run

But wait - did it really mint?

Yes. Here is the proof: [Transaction][transaction], OpenSea, Rarible

Looking forward

How can we improve this bot? What ideas can we spitball to make this better?

• Consolidate parsing of data for recipients emails/web3 address - cleanly.
• In the server, we had a way for users to see their mints. You can implement this as well, use a DB!
• Make the configuration a database item for easy changes.
• Better feedback for the user, maybe we can email them the mint info confirmation? a DM?
• For the server, we implemented mint-limiting. It is not on the public version. Maybe we rate limit or have a mechanism to award users extra mints?
• Role-based minting privilege (must have this role to use the command)
• Maybe tier mints? If you have role 1 (10 mints) and 2 (5 mints) they combine for 15 mints?
• Kink out use case for main-net minting.
• Support creating new collections and minting to specific collections so it does not all mint to a single contract.
• Support adding custom traits to the mint (per Crossmint API)
• Maybe support bulk minting via a master .json file that is uploaded. The bot then interprets and executes...
• We have removed the portion for posting public mints to a channel, maybe this can be added with some customization?
• Let users DM the bot instead of slash commands?
• Some form of user control that disallows toxic users from using the system.
• Maybe implement a global monitor if used accross multiple servers?

This list can get painfully long.... I hope my basic example paves the way for greater versions of this... If any help is needed, I am more than down to help out! #ether0#3333 on discord. Please note this code is given as-is and we are not liable for any abuse.
