The key benefits of using the WAX NFT Metadata Standards include:

  • Forward compatibility with Space + Time data β€” Built to integrate smoothly with cXc, Tetra and any future Time- and Geographic-aware application.

Marketplace builders: Implement these standards in your frontend today to start building next-generation experiences.

Full credits + License - there's a license field so you can give explicit permission for people to use your media.

Links for Days - Why let your connection with your fans stop at the NFT purchase? In addition to all the amazing things you can do on WAX Blockchain, such as incentivizing your collection holders through WAXdao.io, you can link to other places online to buy, like your print on demand of your art or just your social media to get more followers.

By following this schema, Music NFT creators can maximize their compatibility with existing platforms while retaining forward-compatibility.

This blog post will provide a full overview of the WAX NFT Metadata Standards, including technical details, instructions for use, and examples of how to modify the schema for custom projects.

About the Standard

Compatible with Atomic Assets, it's as a defined as a schema (now called category) within the Atomic Assets NFT standard on the Atomic Assets contract.

By utilizing this schema, any individual, collection, or application can create their own music NFT projects on platforms like Atomichub and Neftyblocks.

The standard allows creators to make the needed schema (called category on the new Atomichub website) for music NFTs quickly and efficiently. Creators are encouraged to use and modify the standard for any purpose in line with the open source MIT license.

Technical Summary

  • Media fields like images, audio, and video are stored using IPFS hashes. Images can also be uploaded directly through Atomichub.
  • Get free IPFS hosting from services like PiΓ±ata.
  • Information fields like title, artist, album, etc. are stored as strings (except for the track number which is an integer).
  • Geographic fields for country, locale, and geotag follow standard formats:
  • ISO 3166–1 alpha-3 3-letter codes for country
  • Locale as β€œCity, State, County”
  • Geotag as TopoJSON point string or coordinate array
  • The rarity field allows setting a rarity attribute (Common, Uncommon, Rare etc) that is filterable on marketplaces like Atomichub.
  • The license field allows declaring a license like Creative Commons or specifying privileges granted with the NFT.
  • This structure provides maximum compatibility with existing platforms while allowing for additional customization as needed.

The full list of fields in the current standard is visible in the GitHub repository here.

My name is Douglas, I am the rapper Gudasol and the graphic artist Sir Douglas Fresh. When I entered onto WAX Blockchain, my mission was clear I wanted to empower artist to create more, and fans to interact more. I built cXc.world to do just that, and after writing our hugely successful Music NFT standard, I've been sponsored by WAX to write more standards for different types of media.

A little disclaimer: I do have my own adgenda apart from making your art more powerful and my apps better. It's my vision for the future of human connection, which I wrote about in the Web4 manifesto. In the age of AI, I will continue to offer you guidance and tools as your peaceful warrior chief making tech more human, reminding you geometry is truth, people are good, and the galaxy is our guide.
