Authors: Christopher De Leon, Mike West, Daniyar Mussin

Introduction

• System Design & Architecture: To be led by Christopher, outlining the main components of the NFT marketplace system and how they will interact.

• Art Development: Daniyar will design the NFT's using ChatGPT's API function to create collections of art using prompt engineering.

• Interface Design: Mike will take the helm in designing a sleek, intuitive, and interactive interface using Plotty Express, ensuring the system is user-friendly and efficient.

• Integration & Testing: The team will collaborate in this final phase to integrate all system components to ensure full functionality.

Research Questions

Our research questions are as follows:

• Can we build a local NFT marketplace from what we learned in class?
• How can we enhance the functionality and visual aesthetic over using Streamlit?
• Can we implement Chat GPT's generative image AI into creating an art collection for us?

Libraries and tools used

We will use the following in our project:

• Remix IDE (to launch smart contract)
• React (Javascript from project template)
• Hardhat (configuration to connect to Ganache local blockchain network)
• Alchemy (project template)
• OpenAI library (OpenAI DALL-E 3 API)
• Piñata (to upload data to IPFS)
• MetaMask (software cryptocurrency wallet used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain)
• Ganache (local blockchain network)

Instructions

1. Run DALL_E_3_API.py in a terminal after adding your API key/file (needs an active subscription) and editing prompts

   • Alternatively use "AI NFT Collection\Final AI NFT Collection\Final Images\Compressed" images

2. Deploy Smart Contract on Remix IDE, follow video, "1. deploying smart contract on remix ide.mp4":

   • Connect MetaMask account via "Injected Provider - MetaMask"

3. Launch React Ethereum dapp, follow video, "2. launching react etheruem dApp.mp4":
   • Create a Ganache workspace
   • commands:
   • Git Bash into "NFT Marketplace" folder, or cd into this directory in your terminal of choose
   • activate conda dev environment, "conda activate dev" in terminal
   • Optional: typing in "npx hardhat node " will give test accounts if needed (Skipping this step is okay)
   • type " npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network ganache"
   • type "npm start"

4. Interacting with NFT Marketplace, follow video, "3.NFT Markplace list, sell and buy demo.mp4":
   • Go into your browser of choose and open the local host address (http://localhost:3000/)

5. Optional: Using OpenSea Testnet, follow video, "4. OpenSea testnet demo.mp4":
