Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

Features

  • NFT Ownership: Indicates which address currently owns a particular NFT.
  • NFT Metadata: Displays metadata associated with the NFT, such as name, description, image defined in the token's contract.
  • Transaction History: Shows the transaction history of the NFT, allowing you to see past owners and sales prices.
  • Minting Information: The time and block of when NFT was minted.

NFT Metadata support

As of the time this documentation was written, our Explorer is designed to support only the official ERC-721 metadata standard, as per Ethereum's specifications.

At present, our system primarily supports the display of image type assets with a preview feature. These image types can reside on a variety of hosting platforms, including https, ipfs or they can even be Base64 encoded (data: image/*).

However, it's important to note that this does not imply a lack of support for other types of assets. We do accommodate a wide range of asset types, but instead of a preview, a link to the asset will be provided. If a user clicks on this link, they will be redirected to a new tab where the asset will be displayed. For instance, if the asset is a video, it will be played in the new tab, and if the native browser supports it, an accurate preview of an asset will be shown.

Properties support

The table herein outlines the properties that are specifically parsed/rendered in our Explorer. You have the ability to view the complete metadata JSON in our dedicated metadata preview section.

Property Description
image URL to the image, it can be any type of an image.
name Name of the asset.

Upcoming

Here is the proposed upcoming metadata structure. We kindly request that you adhere to these guidelines to ensure that your metadata is correctly interpreted and displayed within our explorer.

Property Description
image URL to the image, it can be any type of an image. In the context of video content, this refers to a thumbnail representation of the respective video.
name Name of the asset.
description Description of the asset.
attributes Attributes of an asset.
animation_url URL to multi media asset. Our initial development plan includes support for video content. The incorporation of other media types is also under consideration and may be introduced at a future date, depending on the level of demand and usage requirements.
