How might I release a 1 of 1 NFT on base that I can easily updated the photograph for it? I want to sell /origami NFTs to people. They request a specific model. I fold it, photograph it, and then update the purchased NFT with their model. Is this possible on base? What tools can I use? @adrienne @linda @ted @horsefacts.eth @ccarella.eth @compez.eth @jrf

I’m not really an expert on this in 2025 but most nft tools allow you to update the images these days. My first pace to check would be manifold although people seem to like Highlight too. The esoteric jargon that is sometimes used is “update the metadata”. https://manifold.xyz https://highlight.xyz

This is technically possible — in fact, @eriks and I are working on something similar. However, the ability to update the image after minting isn’t built-in by default, so I think you’ve pointed to a really good idea! From a technical standpoint, it's just a matter of updating the metadata to point to a new image on IPFS (or another decentralized storage). As long as the metadata URI stays the same but the content behind it is updated, the NFT will reflect the change. What you need is: 1) A smart contract on Base that supports upgradable metadata, or at least allows you to update the tokenURI. 2) A backend or metadata service that you can update when the photo is ready. This way, you can mint a placeholder NFT, and once the origami model is done and photographed, simply update the metadata to show the final version.

Yes it's possible, tools you can use are: Zoca – mint NFTs on Base easily Manifold – full control + dynamic metadata Pinata / NFT.Storage – host metadata/images (IPFS) Cloudinary – manage and update photo This is all you need

So long as you can freely change the URI on the smart contract, you are able to do this. Just note updating the URI costs gas, but that shouldn't be a problem on base.
