ab-mint-onchain

Mint Art Blocks directly from the blockchain (no off‑chain APIs). Prototype static site designed for GitHub Pages hosting.

⚠️ Experimental software: Use at your own risk. Always test on testnet before using mainnet. This is a community project developed as open source to share with the community.

Hosted on github pages at https://ryley-o.github.io/ab-mint-onchain/

Project layout

• docs/: Static site served by GitHub Pages
  • index.html: UI scaffold with wallet connect button
  • styles.css: Minimal styles (dark theme)
  • app.js: EIP‑1193 wallet integration, reactive account/chain handling
  • .nojekyll: Ensures Pages serves files as-is

Local development

Because this is a static site, you can serve docs/ with any HTTP server.

Option 1: Python 3

cd docs
python3 -m http.server 8080

Option 2: Node.js (http-server)

npx --yes http-server docs -p 8080 -c-1

Then open http://localhost:8080 in a browser with an injected wallet (e.g., MetaMask). Use a test network like Sepolia for development.

GitHub Pages deployment

This repo is configured to serve static content from the docs/ directory:

1. Push changes to main (or your default branch)
2. In GitHub → Settings → Pages, set:
   • Source: Deploy from a branch
   • Branch: main
   • Folder: /docs
3. Save. Your site will be available at https://<your-username>.github.io/<repo-name>/.

No build step is required.

Current capabilities

• Detect injected EIP‑1193 provider
• Connect wallet via eth_requestAccounts
• Reactive UI updates on accountsChanged, chainChanged, connect, disconnect
• Display account, chain, and ETH balance (from wallet RPC)
• Support for RAM V0 minters
• Minimal project support

Next steps (TODO)

• Improved project support and discovery

Notes

This is experimental software. Always test on a testnet before using mainnet.
