This Python script is specifically designed for interacting with the blockchain to manage Dynamic Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) through smart contracts. It encompasses a range of functionalities, including token burning, metadata creation, and image generation, and is tailored to function as a standalone Python program. The script heavily relies on external services and the Ethereum blockchain, with robust error handling and logging for increased reliability. It is specifically crafted to interact with a designated Ethereum smart contract, showcasing advanced Python capabilities in blockchain interactions and asynchronous programming.
The script imports essential libraries such as json, os, asyncio, web3, dotenv, openai, requests, and datetime, enabling blockchain interactions, environment variable configuration, AI-driven image generation, and fundamental file and time operations.
It configures environment variables using dotenv, which includes settings for blockchain interactions, OpenAI's API key, and other necessary parameters.
The script establishes a Web3.py connection to the Ethereum blockchain and sets up contract interactions using ABI and a contract address from the environment variables.
Returns an appropriate IPFS hash based on the time of day, likely utilized for default image handling.
Features a retry mechanism for burning (invalidating) a token on the blockchain, with dynamic gas fee adjustments for optimized transaction success.
Uploads files to Pinata, a service for pinning files to IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), and retrieves the IPFS hash of the uploaded file.
Generates future timestamps in Unix format by adding random milliseconds to the current time, used for setting token expiration times.
Updates a token with new URIs and a burn time in seconds on the blockchain, including retry logic and dynamic gas fee adjustments.
Leverages OpenAI's DALL-E for image generation based on a given prompt.
Downloads and locally saves an image from a specified URL.
Constructs and stores NFT metadata, incorporating elements like token ID, image URL, and attributes from blockchain event data.
Monitors blockchain events related to NFT minting and randomness fulfillment, processes these events, and initiates corresponding actions such as image generation and metadata creation.
Logs various events and manages a transaction queue, ensuring orderly and efficient execution of blockchain interactions.
Coordinates the components, setting up event filters and concurrently running the logging loop, time logging, and transaction queue processing.
Employs random numbers for generating unique filenames and varying token expiration times, enhancing the distinctiveness and dynamism of each NFT.
Incorporates retry mechanisms with dynamic fee adjustments and comprehensive error handling, vital for successful blockchain transactions and maintaining the integrity and reliability of the NFT minting and management process.
