Pt I. - Build, test and deploy the ERC 721 NFT contract using Foundry on Rootstock

Description

In this From Devs to Devs tutorial, you’ll learn how to create and customize the minting function for ERC-721 NFTs using Solidity and Foundry. The video walks through the structure of an ERC-721 smart contract, explains the logic behind minting tokens, and demonstrates how to deploy and test your NFT on the Rootstock network. This hands-on guide is part of the Hacktivator program, where developers share educational content and open-source tools to help others start building on Rootstock — the Bitcoin Layer 2 that’s fully EVM-compatible. ⸻ 🔗 Useful Resources - Rootstock Developer Portal → https://dev.rootstock.io - Hacktivator Program → https://rootstock.io/hacktivator - Foundry Documentation → https://book.getfoundry.sh - ERC-721 Standard → https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721 ⸻ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Smart Contracts and NFTs 02:38 Setting Up the Rootstock Environment 05:23 Building the ERC721 Smart Contract 08:04 Implementing Minting Functionality 10:22 Access Control and Administration Functions 11:51 Testing and Deployment Overview
