Skater Cats: A Generative NFT project on Polygon

Summary

Skatercats are a generative NFT project used to market physical products (amazon web links). When someone buys a Skater Cat they get access to a protected view within the app (found on the 'products' tab). The main idea behind the application is to use Web3 connection via MetaMask in place of something like OAuth. The goal was also to present NFTs as an easy way to gate access to digitial content.

The NFTs

Each Skater Cat is composed of a variety of random attributes. I used AutoMinter to create the solidity back end contracts- as these contracts are verified via the app I then used Ethers.js and React to create a front end interface.

## Team Page to view all the heros!

## Connect to MetaMask to view the secret 'stash' on the Products tab

## A view of the minting page to get a Skater Cat NFT

## Once the dApp detects you have a Skater Cat NFT the products tab opens up

IPFS Incorperation

Various images within the application are drawn from IPFS, so to merge the concept of web2 app with web3. The images for the NFTs themselves are also decentralized onto IPFS servers.
