When you can generate NFT directly with prompt...

Author: Cookie, BlockBeats

AI has become a hot topic in the crypto market, and for NFT players, AI is increasingly appearing in the cold start phase of various NFT projects. This year, many projects have used Midjourney, an image-generating AI, to conduct "art competitions" to distribute whitelists, greatly increasing the fun of whitelisting distribution. AI-generated art NFT projects have also been popular in the market at one time.

Recently, StepN NFT marketplace MOOAR launched an AIGC product called "GNT". With "GNT", we can easily generate our own image through AI and turn it into an NFT. Let's experience the charm of "GNT" together~

"GNT" User Experience

After entering the "GNT" page, the first step is to fill in a distinctive name and select the identity style of the character. The optional character styles include "Male", "Female", "Non-Binary", and "Animal".

After completing the setup, click "Next". The next step is to choose the visual style, which includes various blue-chip NFT projects on the market, such as "Azuki", "BAYC", "Clone X", etc. We choose Freestyle and let "GNT" unleash its creativity.

After selecting, click "Next", and then give a series of keywords for "GNT". In the "Character" column, the required keywords are "character keywords", such as "Mysterious", "Charming", "Witty", and other adjectives related to character. In the "Appearance" column, the required keywords are "appearance keywords", such as "Long hair", "Round face", "Yellow skin", and other adjectives related to appearance.

After completing the setup, click "Next". You can then provide additional descriptions about the details of "GNT", such as "Late night scene" or "Sitting behind a desk". "GNT" will use these given keywords to enrich the image of the relevant details in the scene.

After setting is completed, click "Generate" and you can see "GNT" as the image generated for us:

Currently, regular users can use "GNT" to generate 5 times a day, while MOOAR members can generate 25 times. At this stage, the generated images are for "GNT" training and therefore do not support casting the generated images into NFTs. MOOAR plans to open the "Fair Mint" function on March 30th, when users can use "GNT" to directly generate and cast a total of 1000 NFT series.

Conclusion

"GNT" gives the author the greatest feeling of "refreshment". The reminders for various settings are very intuitive, making it very user-friendly for novices who have never used AI-generated images. It is very easy to get started.

MOOAR is probably the first NFT marketplace to introduce AI as a creative tool and provide it as a one-stop service. This is an interesting attempt. During the process of creating images, there are two points that the author finds very challenging. First, the ability to draw/use drawing tools, especially for someone like the author who is "drawing disabled", could never have imagined becoming an "NFT creator" before the emergence of AI NFT creative tools. Secondly, it is the process of "extracting" from human memory. Our brain is like our "material library", visualizing any imagination into images, and arranging and combining all kinds of "fragments" we have seen in our lives in a whimsical way. If I have never seen "purple" and "crystal", I cannot imagine what "purple crystal" looks like out of thin air. However, AI tools can greatly enrich our "material library" through continuous learning and accumulation. We can constantly approach our own imagination in each generation, and even obtain imaginations that we have never been able to outline from our minds.

除了让「人人都可以变为创作者」，MOOAR is also trying to give us more room for imagination. Will "GNT" be introduced into StepN to make the experience more interesting? For example, after each workout, StepN generates an AI NFT artwork based on the day's time, weather, mileage, and our own description of the workout, recording every workout experience. Can this enhance StepN's social attributes and make the sense of achievement and commemoration stronger after each workout?

The day when AI makes it easy for each of us to become an "NFT project party" is not far away.
