Ganache has a GUI version that can be downloaded here, but we will use the terminal version for the rest of this tutorial. It can be installed using this command:
In this article, we’ll look at one way to solve those issues by creating and deploying an NFT to the Polygon Network and using IPFS to store the metadata. In our example, we’ll use Truffle as our development environment and Infura to connect and interact with the blockchain and IPFS.
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have exploded in popularity over the last year. And with NFTs being used for art, PFPs, lifestyle brands, sports, games, the metaverse, and more, they won’t be going away anytime soon.
