Minting Format for BCL

Posted on 2025-08-11 Updated on 2025-08-25

Welcome to EdaFace Mint.


You can mint your literature on the EdaFace Blockchain Literature (BCL). “Literature” here refers to videos, songs, books, certificates, documents, or any other literary content.


Please, follow the EdaFace Minting Format presented here to be able to mint successfully:


1st Step: Upload Excel File.

The Excel File is the summary of your files for minting and a Description of your work.


The Excel File should have a File name, e.g. bookexcelfile.


The Excel File Format should be Microsoft Excel Worksheet (.xlsx).


Each file and the Description must be in a column as follows:


Column A: NFTName (give your literature a name, e.g. Testsong. Note that the heading of this column, NFTName, is one word with no gap in between "NFT" and "Name").


Column B: File (name of file and its extension, e.g. edasong.mp3).


Column C: Preview File (name of preview file and its extension, e.g. edasongpreview.mp3).


Column D: Thumb (name of background image and its extension, e.g. edaface.jpeg).


Column E: Type (simply type book, song, or video, depending on whether you are minting a book, song, or video, respectively. Any certificate or document is classified as a "book").


Column F: Description (each descriptive word must be in quotes, separated by a comma, and all the words finally enclosed in curly brackets { }).

2nd Step: Upload a Folder.

Note that you are uploading a folder.

The folder must contain the files that you are minting as well as the Excel File mentioned in the 1st Step.

Each File name must be the same as indicated in the Excel File.


In all, four (4) files are required, which are:


(1). Literature File.

This is the video, song, book, certificates, etc. that you want to mint.


The  video, song, book, certificate, etc. should have a File name, e.g. edabook


Supported File Format:


Audio: WAV, FLAC, MP3, WAV, FLAC, or SMP3


Book: PDF


Image (PDF): JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP


Video: AAC, OGV, WEBM, MP4


Maximum file size: Fifty megabytes (50 mb).


(2). Preview File.

This is a free sample of your literature. It allows users to enjoy Free Reading Time (FRT) of your book, Free Listening Time (FLT) of your song, and Free Viewing Time (FVT) of your video.


The Preview File should have a File name, e.g., bookpreview.


Supported File Format: The same as your Literature File.


Maximum file size: Fifty megabytes (50 mb).


(3). Thumb File.

This is the background image for your song.


Please, note that if you don’t have a thumb file, EdaFace BCL will automatically create one for you on minting.


The Thumb File should have a File name, e.g., thumbfile.


Supported File Format: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP.


Maximum file size: Fifty megabytes (50 mb).


(4). Excel File. 

This is the file that has been mentioned in the 1st Step above.


Note:

From the above discussion, it means that in your folder that you want to upload, there must be a Literature file and its Preview with an Excel File that carries the summary of all the file details and the description of your work. You may add a customized Thumbnail file.
