Connect your Wallet

Within your MetaMask plugin (or other wallet extension), change your network to "Sepolia Test Network." You should see this as a drop-down option at the top of your MetaMask window.

<aside> 💡

If you do not see this drop-down as an option, please go to Account > Settings > Advanced and toggle "Show test networks" to YES. Once toggled to YES, you should see Sepolia Test Network and others as a drop-down option.

Go to https://create.artblocks.io, connect to the site, and navigate to your project shell.

<aside> 🚨

For your Art Blocks application, please connect with a hot wallet. Hardware wallets are not currently compatible with Art Blocks staging.

Upload

1. Please ensure that you have reviewed and abided by our Technical Requirements. If you are assigning rarity to different traits, Art Blocks strongly recommends using an instance of the Random class found here to feed your project's randomness. Before uploading, please verify that your script meets this requirement.
2. Ensure your wallet is funded with enough Sepolia ETH to pay the gas fees for the upload and unpausing process.

2. Upload your script. For a full guide to the Scripts section of the Creator Dashboard, including how to upload script segments and configure Flex Assets, see Scripts & Flex Assets (artist).

Test Minting

1. Before minting, go to the Minters section of your project shell and set your minter type. A great option for testing is to select Minimum fee minter. This will result in test mints costing 0.0015 ETH. If choosing Set price - ETH, set the minimum price of 0.015 in order to save Sepolia ETH.
2. Navigate to the Outputs tab in the Creator Dashboard and click Mint in the top right corner to mint a test output.
3. In order to submit your project shell for consideration for release, you will need to mint 20-40 test outputs.
