💾CoTA Data

Given you are Registered, you have the ability to interact with the CoTA Protocol.

This means you can generate or update your CoTA Issuer info, mint a new Collection or Items from an existing one.

Becoming an Issuer

If you wish to create a "CoTA profile", you can optionally become an issuer by submiting issuer information to the blockchain.

Currently you can find a "Generate Issuer" button on your profile which uses your profile data (name/description/avatar) from imagiNation.

By setting up issuer information, you can establish your identity on the CoTA Protocol, which can enhance your credibility and visibility as an issuer.

Defining an NFT Collection

To define an NFT collection, you must specify the collection details using the CotaInfo data type. This step is crucial for establishing the identity and shared attributes of the collection. During this process, a unique cota_id is assigned, ensuring that all NFTs within the collection share the same information.

CotaInfo Data Structure

interface CotaInfo {
  name: string;
  image: string;
  description?: string;
  audio?: string;
  video?: string;
  model?: string;
  characteristic?: [string, number][];
  properties?: string;
}

Minting NFTs

After defining an NFT collection, you can mint NFTs to create individual tokens. Each NFT inherits the collection's cota_id and information but can have unique characteristics. This process allows for the customization of NFT fields such as state and characteristic, providing flexibility in how each NFT is presented and utilized.
