We are excited to announce the release of the new bulk NFT minting feature. This feature allows NODL token holders to easily mint multiple NFTs and distribute them using a new tool accessible from the Nodle Web Client, available from https://client.nodle.com/

Key Features:

1. Bulk NFT Minting: With the new tool, users can mint multiple NFTs in a streamlined and efficient manner.
2. Distribution Flexibility: Minted NFTs can be distributed to recipients using unique links or QR codes, making the process easy and convenient.
3. Accessible to Non-Nodle Wallet Users: Recipients can get the NFTs even if they do not have a Nodle wallet or an app installed in advance. They can install the Nodle app at their convenience and use the link or QR code to retrieve the NFT.
4. Controlled Claiming Process: Recipients have control over when they claim the NFT, initiating the process at their convenience.
5. Automated Distribution: The JSON file generated at the end of the minting flow can be used to programmatically extract claiming links and automate NFT distribution through platforms with automated messaging capabilities.

Designed for creators

Unlike the standard Nodle app that is focused on personal use, this tool is specifically designed for NFT creators to distribute their works to a wider audience. To mint NFTs for personal collection, users should continue to use the Nodle app.

This tool significantly simplifies and accelerates the process of generating and distributing multiple NFTs. Once NFTs are minted, creators simply need to share a link or a QR code with the intended recipient. The recipient can then utilize the provided link or QR code to claim their NFT.

A particularly notable aspect of this new feature is that it enables anyone to receive an NFT, regardless of whether they already have the Nodle wallet and app. Upon receiving the link or QR code, they can then download the Nodle app, create a wallet, and claim their NFT. There’s no rush to do so, as the NFT will patiently await them until they are ready to claim it.

Behind the scenes

A key aspect of this new feature is the process of NFT claiming, a recipient-driven activity that allows for the initiation of the NFT transfer when they are ready.

To facilitate this, NFTs are initially minted into transient wallets. Information associated with these wallets, including public and private keys, is saved locally in a JSON file produced at the end of the minting process. The user who mints the NFTs must ensure that this JSON file is securely stored and not inadvertently made public.

Each transient wallet’s private key is subsequently shared with the recipient via a claiming link or QR code. Given that each NFT has its own transient wallet, it naturally has its own unique claiming link and QR code. Once this unique private link is clicked on or the QR code scanned, the private key is used by the app to transfer the NFT from the temporary wallet to the recipient’s wallet. The temporary wallet is then emptied and no longer has any use.

This method allows to:

• Distribute NFTs with individuals who don’t have the Nodle wallet or app pre-installed
• Give the recipient the power to start and oversee the NFT claiming process, ensuring they receive the correct content
• Guarantee that each recipient will receive the intended NFT, unless the same links are distributed among multiple people. In such a scenario, the NFT will go to the first person to use the link or QR code.

Automated NFTs distribution

Upon the completion of the minting process, the user creating the NFTs will be presented with a JSON file. This file will contain information about the temporary wallets, NFT identifiers, and the respective claiming links. This file can be uploaded to the bulk NFT tool to generate the claiming QR codes or to facilitate easy access to all claiming links.

Alternatively, the JSON file can be utilized programmatically to extract the claiming links and automate their distribution. This functionality can conveniently be used to disseminate NFTs through email or other platforms with automated messaging capabilities.

Brand new applications of the Nodle network

The new minting tool unveils a wealth of new use cases for the Nodle network and chain, flawlessly integrating web3 into the tangible world. We believe this is is much larger than collectibles, allowing businesses and enterprise to build real world applications atop Nodle.

Use Case 1: Commemorative NFTs

Suppose an event organizer aims to offer a distinct web3 experience for attendees while preserving their event memories. In this scenario, the organizer could mint exclusive commemorative NFTs on the Nodle chain through the NFT minting tool. Upon ticket validation at the event, attendees receive individual QR codes to scan and obtain their commemorative NFT, serving as a testament to their participation.

How to distribute NFTs?

NFT distribution can be accomplished through the minting tool or by automating the process using a script to parse the JSON file.

To use the minting tool for distribution, please adhere to the following steps:

1. Open the minting tool via the Nodle Client by navigating to the menu in the top right corner and selecting “Mint and distribute NFTs.”
2. Click on “Distribute NFTs” to begin.
3. Upload the JSON file, that you downloaded at the end of the minting flow.
4. Once the file has been processed, a complete collection of NFTs will be displayed. Click on an NFT to view its QR code and show it to the recipient, or copy the claiming link and send it to the recipient.

The file can also be uploaded from a mobile browser, making it possible to conveniently share NFTs directly from a mobile device.
