Mints

The NFT mints tables contain all ERC721 and ERC1155 mints and their respective prices in one consolidated table.

Methodology

In an NFT minting transaction, there is a transfers of erc721/erc1155 tokens from the zero address.

The cost of an NFT mint can be assigned to

  • Free: the NFT recipient receives the NFT without paying any other cost aside from transaction fees.

  • Paid by minter: the mint payer is the same as the NFT recipient

  • Paid by non-minter: the mint payer is different from the NFT recipient

We identify all erc721 and erc1155 token transfers from zero address as mints. In these transactions, the minting cost of the mints were identified by the balance changes / deduction of erc20/native tokens (ETH) from the mint recipient. The cost of the NFT mint is deducted from the total cost of the transfers divided by counts of mints within the same transactions (excluding transaction fees cost).

Protocol-based mints

We identify protocol-based mints based on the token address collection created by minting protocol’s factory address. NFT mints of these collections are then tagged based on the contract address or transactions from these factory address.

  • NFT minting may involve native gas token, ERC20, or no currency.

  • Free mints will be included by an empty currency address field and 0 value in price.

  • Native gas tokens are represented as 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 in the token_address in our assets schemas.

  • To identify native gas token-specific minting volume, currency_address filters will need to be applied as shown in the example below.

Sample Query

Example: nfts minted with native gas token (0x00000000000000000000000000000000) on Ethereum.

select 
  date(block_timestamp) as date,
  count(distinct token_address) as collections,
  count(distinct token_to_address) as total_minters,
  sum(price) as native_volume
from ethereum.nfts.mints 
  where current_date - date(block_timestamp) < 14
  and currency_address = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000' 
group by date
