The Cosmic Bloom mints are all generated by the same javascript code, which runs in the browser. The code was developed using the three.js library. Each mint has its own unique data file, which specifies the parameters for the work, including geometries, animations, colors, and post-processing effects.

The javascript code and token metadata are stored on IPFS and pinned using Pinata.

Cosmic Bloom is for sale on OpenSea. A cryptocurrency digital wallet and a supply of ether (ETH), the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, are required in order to purchase a work from the Cosmic Bloom series on OpenSea.

Set Up a Metamask Wallet

To set up a Metamask wallet, follow the steps in this guide:

Note:

The secret recovery phrase provided by MetaMask is the only way to restore your wallet if it crashes or malfunctions. Write down the phrase by hand on paper and do not record it in any digital form whatsoever (including a photograph). Write out another paper copy by hand and keep the two paper copies in two separate secure locations.

The only purpose of your secret recovery phrase is to restore your MetaMask wallet, if necessary. Never reveal your phrase to anyone. Someone who acquires the phrase can duplicate your wallet and steal everything in it. Any email, website, app, or message that asks you to type in your secret recovery phrase is a scam!


Purchase ETH and Transfer It To Your Wallet

You can create an account with Coinbase, an exchange that allows you to purchase cryptocurrency using USD.

To set up a Coinbase account, purchase ETH, and transfer the ETH to your Metamask wallet, follow the steps in this guide:

In addition to the purchase price of the NFT(s) you buy, you will need a small amount of ETH to cover transaction costs.

There may be a waiting period between the time you purchase the ETH and the time when you are able to transfer it from Coinbase to your wallet.

Cosmic Bloom is GPU-intensive and runs best in a modern browser on a machine with a dedicated graphics card or an Apple M1 chip. The computing power required increases with the resolution, so playing a mint on a higher resolution display will require more computing power.

Companies such as Infinite Objects and Tokenframe produce display screens for NFTs. You can also use a screen, such as the LG OLED, connected to a computer running the mint fullscreen in a browser. If you experience problems with playback, try setting the display settings for the monitor to a lower resolution.
