• description - A string detailing the human readable description of the NFT
• image - A URL to an image
• external_link - A URL to external website of NFT
• animation_url - A URL to a multi-media attachment for the item.
• youtube_url - A URL to a YouTube video.
• attributes - An array of strings detailing various attributes. Attributes are defined by a "trait_type" detailing the name of the field followed by a "value" detailing the value of the attribute "value": "Starfish"

Template

This is a sample template for you to fill in when creating your collection metadata:

  "image": "{Insert image URL here}",
  "external_link": "{Insert external website URL here}",
  "animation_url": "{Insert URL here for multi-media file}",
  "youtube_url": "{Insert URL to the relevant YouTube link}",
  "attributes": {
    "traits": [
      {
        "trait_type": "{Insert 1st custom metadata attribute name here}",
        "value": "{Insert the value of the 1st custom metadata attribute name here}"
      },
      {
        "trait_type": "{Insert 2nd custom metadata attribute name here}",
        "value": "{Insert the value of the 2nd custom metadata attribute name here}"
      },
      {
        "trait_type": "{Insert xth custom metadata attribute name here}",
        "value": "{Insert the value of the xth custom metadata attribute name here}"
      }
    ]
  }
}
