On-chaining Token

Last updated
The NFTWord collection, like most collections, stores its token metadata on IPFS. This is a secure and decentralized method, but it is off-chain, meaning that the NFT metadata is not stored directly on the Ethereum blockchain; only the IPFS address of the data is stored.
However, NFTWord has the ability to create fully on-chain tokens. To achieve this, the owner of an off-chain token can follow the steps below and pay the gas fee to make their token utterly independent of external servers and store its data on the blockchain.
You can reach it from the NFTWord gallery or go to a NFT page from the external link in OpenSea.
You will see your NFTWord balance and tokens when you connect your wallet. If the token is off-chain, you can click the "Make it On-chain" button and pay the gas fee to Ethereum.
After that, you will see the "View TX" button showing your transaction in the etherscan. After refreshing the page, you may see a "Pending" status. It means your metadata has been submitted and it's waiting for the collection manager's review. It will processed from a minute up to 24 hours.
If you still see "Off-chain" in the status after refreshing the page, It shows your transaction failed. Please check your wallet and do it again, or get in touch with our communities.
After 24 hours check the page again. If you see "Completed" it means your token is now fully on-chain and your token metadata is frozen and immutable.
If you still see "Pending" or "Rejected" status. Please get in touch with the community as soon as possible.
To ensure everything is OK, visit your NFT page in the OpenSea. You should see "FROZEN ON-CHAIN" on the "Metadata" trait.
