Image Metadata: \

\
2\. Generate metadata that contains the CID from the images on IPFS using an NFT generator or script. Reach out to the GB team if you need help with this. \

3\. Upload metadata on IPFS\
\
4\. Get CID from the metadata upload on IPFS, add http tag from form.\
\
" <https://ipfs.io/ipfs/\\><CID>/ " for example\

This will be entered in "image metadata" box

\
1\. Using the template, add in the information for your own collection. \

&#x20; "external\_link": "\<Website or Twitter Link>",

&#x20; "seller\_fee\_basis\_points": 1000, //500 is 5%

&#x20; "fee\_recipient": "\<Creator Wallet>"

}

2\. For "image" in the template, choose a specific image from the previously uploaded "image metadata" and use this CID + https tag for the image url \
\
3\. For external URL add link to your website, \
\
4\. For fee basis 500 is 5%, 1000 is 10% etc\
\
5\. Upload this OpenSea metadata to your hosting service of choice. \
