Minting Cryptomedia

Cryptomedia is the foundational primitive of the Zora Protocol.

Cryptomedia is a medium for anyone on the internet to create universally accessible and individually ownable hypermedia.

To create new cryptomedia using the ZDK, you must call the mint function.

The mint function on a Zora instance expects two parameters: MediaData and BidShares

MediaData

The MediaData type is composed of four fields:

type MediaData = {
  tokenURI: string
  metadataURI: string
  contentHash: BytesLike
  metadataHash: BytesLike
}

tokenURI

The uri where the cryptomedia's content is hosted. This could link to any storage provider on the internet. Some examples of decentralized storage providers are:

The token uri must be prefixed with https:// or at mint time the sdk will reject it.

metadataURI

The uri where the cryptomedia's metadata is hosted. This could link to any storage provider on the internet. Some examples of decentralized storage providers are:

The metadata uri must be prefixed with https:// or at mint time the sdk will reject it.

To construct the metadata of a piece of cryptomedia, use the generateMetadata function defined in metadata.ts. For more info visit Metadata

contentHash

The sha256 hash of the content the cryptomedia represents. It is imperative that this hash is correct, because once it is written to the blockchain it cannot be changed. To generate this hash use any of the sha256 utils defined in utils.

metadataHash

The sha256 hash of the metadata of the cryptomedia. It is imperative that this hash is correct, because once it is written to the blockchain it cannot be changed. To generate this hash use any of the sha256 utils defined in utils.

Example

import { constructMediaData, sha256FromBuffer, generateMetadata } from '@zoralabs/zdk'

const metadataJSON = generateMetadata('zora-20210101', {
  description: '',
  mimeType: 'text/plain',
  name: '',
  version: 'zora-20210101',
})

const contentHash = sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from('Ours Truly,'))
const metadataHash = sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from(metadataJSON))
const mediaData = constructMediaData(
  'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeifyqibqlheu7ij7fwdex4y2pw2wo7eaw2z6lec5zhbxu3cvxul6h4',
  'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeifpxcq2hhbzuy2ich3duh7cjk4zk4czjl6ufbpmxep247ugwzsny4',
  contentHash,
  metadataHash
)

BidShares

The BidShares type is composed of three fields:

type DecimalValue = { value: BigNumber }

type BidShares = {
  owner: DecimalValue
  prevOwner: DecimalValue
  creator: DecimalValue
}

Each field represents the share that each stakeholder of a piece of cryptomedia has on the next accepted bid. At the time of mint, the indivduals bid shares (creator, owner, prevOwner) must sum to 100.

creator

The immutable, perpetual equity (%) the creator gets from each accepted bid of the piece of cryptomedia.

owner

The equity (%) the current owner gets from the next accepted bid of the piece of cryptomedia.

prevOwner

The equity (%) the previous owner gets from the next accepted bid of the piece of cryptomedia.

Example

The Zora Media Contract allows for 18 decimals of precision. To simplify precision, we created the constructBidShares method with accepts JS numbers and converts them to ethers BigDecimal types rounded to the fourth decimal.

import { constructBidShares } from '@zoralabs/zdk'

const bidShares = constructBidShares(
  10, // creator share
  90, // owner share
  0 // prevOwner share
)

All Together Now!

import { Zora } from '@zoralabs/zdk'
import { Wallet } from 'ethers'
import {
  constructBidShares,
  constructMediaData,
  sha256FromBuffer,
  generateMetadata,
} from '@zoralabs/zdk'

const wallet = Wallet.createRandom()
const zora = new Zora(wallet, 4)

const metadataJSON = generateMetadata('zora-20210101', {
  description: '',
  mimeType: 'text/plain',
  name: '',
  version: 'zora-20210101',
})

const contentHash = sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from('Ours Truly,'))
const metadataHash = sha256FromBuffer(Buffer.from(metadataJSON))
const mediaData = constructMediaData(
  'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeifyqibqlheu7ij7fwdex4y2pw2wo7eaw2z6lec5zhbxu3cvxul6h4',
  'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeifpxcq2hhbzuy2ich3duh7cjk4zk4czjl6ufbpmxep247ugwzsny4',
  contentHash,
  metadataHash
)

/**
 * Note: Before minting, verify that the content stored at the uris
 * can be hashed and matches the hashes in the `MediaData`.
 *
 * Soon, we will ship utility functions to handle this for you.

const bidShares = constructBidShares(
  10, // creator share
  90, // owner share
  0 // prevOwner share
)
const tx = await zora.mint(mediaData, bidShares)
await tx.wait(8) // 8 confirmations to finalize
