Resources

This is a list of resources that were used to create the Industrious Aliens Project.

Firstly the images were hand-drawn on an iPad using Procreate.

After transferring the layers to a PC, Hashlips was used to generate the images.

Once the hashlips engine was complete, Metaplex was used to upload the images to the blockchain and make the NFTs. Specifically the Sugar CLI tool.

Metaplex can be used to upload to Solana blockchain. We chose Solana for its fast, inexpensive transactions and its growing popularity for NFTs.

Visual Studio Code was used to perform all of the above functions. It is a powerful and beautiful tool for coding and other projects.

One of the best resources for this project was GitHub. IA is grateful for the services they provide to the community. They provide the code, web hosting and knowledge.

Our SOL wallet of choice is Phantom. Phantom provided ease of use and no issues during minting.

Part of our inspiration was sourced from the Mike Rowe WORKS Foundation. This is the trade school scholarship program that will be funded by this project.
