Create Asset

The mplx core asset create command allows you to create MPL Core Assets using three different methods: simple creation, file-based creation, or an interactive wizard. This command provides flexibility in how you want to create your assets while maintaining a consistent output format.

Methods

1. Simple Creation

Create a single Asset by providing the name and URI of the metadata directly through command line arguments.

mplx core asset create --name "My NFT" --uri "https://example.com/metadata.json"

2. File-based Creation

Create a single Asset by providing an image file and a JSON metadata file. The command will handle uploading both files and creating the asset.

mplx core asset create --files --image "./my-nft.png" --json "./metadata.json"

3. Interactive Wizard

Create an Asset using the interactive wizard which guides you through the entire process, including file uploads and metadata creation.

mplx core asset create --wizard

Options

• --name <string>: Asset name (required for simple creation)
• --uri <string>: URI of the Asset metadata (required for simple creation)
