There are 3 key concepts that yield an in the Niftory ecosystem:
- A bag of NFTModels, to help you organize your NFTs
- A blueprint for an NFT, containing everything needed to mint one -- file content, blockchain metadata, etc.
- A representation of an (it doesn't have to be minted yet).
NFT
, NFTModel
and NFTSet
are all blockchain concepts. i.e. when you mint, the creates a for an NFTSet, a for an NFTModel, and a for an NFT on the blockchain.
Note that because Niftory supports minting lazily, you can create all these objects in the Admin Portal without minting them, display them to users, and delay the mint step until the actual (which will handle minting automatically).
This is possible because Niftory API combines both on-chain and off-chain data into one API. When you are querying the API, it is returning data from the Niftory database. The database is updated automatically to represent the source-of-truth on the blockchain.
