I have to figure out how to post a batch of assets to Arweave once a year and it's always painful to sort out again. Here's how. If anyone has a better idea please share! 1. Make an Arweave wallet if you don't have one. I guess https://www.wander.app/ is the one. 2. You need $AR. I transfer Eth to Ar via https://simpleswap.io. There's a storage calculator you can use to figure out how much $AR you need at https://ar-fees.arweave.dev/. 3. Install the Arweave CLI: https://github.com/ardriveapp/ardrive-cli 4. You'll need to export that wallet from Wander, you can get a JSON from it. 5. Create a Drive: `ardrive create-drive --wallet-file your-wallet.json --public --drive-name "Lucky Ghouls"` 6. That's going to return a few values including its ID, you need that ID.

7. Upload your images: `ardrive upload-file --local-path /your-images --parent-folder-id <DRIVE_ID> --wallet-file your-wallet.json` 8. This will put `your-images` in your Drive. 9. Create a Manifest: ardrive create-manifest -f <DRIVE_ID> --wallet-file your-wallet.json Great! Now all your images are accessible in that single directory. e.g, https://zk2wipqvqlavjz3tdh4hz6ibye3w5anz3b7bqbed3oqbzyoqnncq.arweave.net/yrVkPhWCwVTncxn4fPkBwTdugbnYfhgEg9ugHOHQa0U/images/999.png NOW DO THE WHOLE THING AGAIN WITH YOUR JSON, and finally set that root directory as the baseURI on your contract.

Oh and be sure to use the `ar://hash` style in your NFT metadata, not the HTTPS URLs that the manifest gives you. Then the NFT marketplaces know to use the Arweave protocol which is supposed to last forever, rather than just a normal HTTPS gateway that could go away.

This is the way! And we're working to make "ar://" even more robust: https://docs.ar.io/concepts/wayfinder

I found opensea and magiceden to not support ar://, even though their docs say they do. Had to use the HTTPS gateway URLs. Have you heard or seen that?
