Auto EVMMinting and Sending NFTs

Sending NFTs

Note: NFT minting and transfers are currently available exclusively on the Taurus testnet using the Autonomys NFT contract deployed at 0x505c243ec05dF81bC33295fF7C135D4D98063Da5.

This guide walks you through sending NFTs on Autonomys using Remix, a Metamask-connected wallet, and the Eternal Mint platform.

NFTs on Autonomys Network

Autonomys NFTs offer a significant advantage over traditional NFT infrastructure.

Unlike platforms that rely on IPFS, Autonomys stores NFT’s metadata and digital assets directly on Auto Drive, our permanent decentralized storage.

  • 🔒 Both your NFT metadata and digital asset (e.g., image, music file) are never at risk of disappearing due to expired IPFS pins.
  • 🌐 Each NFT is linked to a permanent Auto Drive record that ensures long-term storage.
  • 🚫 No third-party dependency — your NFT will never go offline.

Quick Start Guide

This guide assumes you have experience with MetaMask and Remix.

Step 1: Mint Your NFT

  1. Visit Eternal Mint. NFT-mint-1
  2. Connect the wallet of your choice. NFT-mint-2
  3. Mint your NFT by filling in the following fields:
  • Name: The title of your NFT.
  • Supply: The number of editions you’d like to mint.
  • External Link: (Optional) A link to an external website or resource.
  • Description: A brief explanation or story behind your NFT.
  • Upload Image: The visual or media file representing your NFT (e.g., image, GIF, video). NFT-mint-3
  1. Once minted, copy your NFT’s Token ID — you’ll need it to send the NFT.

Step 2: Load the Contract in Remix

  1. Open Remix IDE.

  2. Create a new Solidity file (e.g. NFTTransfer.sol), or use the deployed contract. The contract Address: 0x505c243ec05dF81bC33295fF7C135D4D98063Da5.

  3. Compile the contract using the Solidity compiler tab.

Step 3: Connect Remix to MetaMask

  1. In Remix, navigate to the Deploy & Run Transactions panel.
  2. Set the Environment to Injected Provider - MetaMask.
  3. Connect your MetaMask wallet that’s configured to the Taurus testnet. For more detailed instructions, check out our guide on connecting Remix to the Taurus testnet. NFT-guide-2

Step 4: Deploy or Load the NFT Contract

  • If deploying a new contract: Click Deploy and confirm in MetaMask.
  • If using the existing NFT contract: Paste the deployed contract address into the At Address field and click At Address. NFT-guide-3

Step 5: Use safeTransferFrom to Send Your NFT

Scroll down to the Deployed Contracts section and find the safeTransferFrom function. Fill in the following fields:

  • from: Your wallet address (the current NFT holder)
  • to: The recipient’s wallet address
  • id: Token ID of the NFT you want to send
  • value: Number of NFTs to send (usually 1)
  • data: Optional; use 0x if not needed

Click transact and confirm the transaction in MetaMask. NFT-guide-4

Verification

After the minting, the NFT will appear in the recipient’s wallet. You can verify the transfer using the Block explorer for the Autonomys testnet

Here’s how:

  1. Open the transaction on Blockscout.
  2. Click on “Token Transfers” to view the minted token details. NFT-check-1

OR

  1. Go to the “Tokens” tab.
  2. Select “NFTs” to see your newly minted NFT listed there! NFT-check-2

Troubleshooting

  • Gas issues? Try increasing the gas limit manually in Remix.
  • Transaction fails? Double-check your Token ID and that you’re connected to the correct network.
  • Contract not found? Ensure you’ve loaded the contract at the correct address (0x505c243ec05dF81bC33295fF7C135D4D98063Da5).
