Certificate Design​

MACHUPS certificates follow official Monad brand guidelines:

Visual Elements​

  • Official Monad Logomark: Embedded from brand kit
  • Brand Colors: #6E54FF (primary purple), #DDD7FE (light purple), #0E091C (dark navy)
  • Typography: Britti Sans (headlines), Inter (body), Roboto Mono (labels)
  • Layout: 1200x1200px (optimal for NFT metadata)

Certificate Information​

  • Brand Name: Generated brand name
  • Subdomain: Preview deployment URL
  • Generation Date: Timestamp of creation
  • Screenshot: Brand preview image
  • Event Badge: "MONAD BLITZ SF #18"

How It Works​

1. Generation Complete​

After your brand is generated:

✓ Brand Analysis Complete
✓ Logos Generated
✓ Design Tokens Exported
✓ Components Created
✓ Guidelines PDF Generated
→ Minting NFT Certificate...

2. Certificate Creation​

System generates certificate with:

  • Brand screenshot (embedded)
  • Metadata (name, date, URL)
  • Monad branding applied
  • SVG rendered to PNG (1200x1200)

3. Metadata Upload​

Certificate and metadata uploaded to IPFS:

  "description": "Brand generated at Monad Blitz SF #18",
  "image": "ipfs://Qm.../certificate.png",
  "attributes": [
    { "trait_type": "Event", "value": "Monad Blitz SF #18" },
    { "trait_type": "Brand Name", "value": "YourBrand" },
    { "trait_type": "Generation Date", "value": "2025-12-06" },
    { "trait_type": "Primary Color", "value": "#0066FF" },
    { "trait_type": "Style", "value": "Modern" },
    { "trait_type": "Generation Time", "value": "2.4s" }
  ]
}

4. Minting on Monad​

NFT minted to your Monad wallet:

// MACHUPSCertificate.sol
function mintBrandCertificate(
    address recipient,
    string memory tokenURI
) public returns (uint256)

5. Confirmation​

Transaction confirmed on Monad blockchain:

  • Network: Monad Mainnet
  • Gas Fees: ~$0.01 (extremely low)
  • Speed: 3-5 seconds confirmation
  • Explorer: View on Monad Explorer
