Pinata Bulk NFT Uploader

Bulk uploads NFT metadata to Pinata and deploys the NFT contract with the generated base URI.

Description

Uploading massive amounts of NFT assets and metadata without gas fees has never been easier. This script utilizes the Pinata API so that you can simply specify your assets and metadata, run the script, and generate your own NFT project within minutes with all of the data stored on IPFS and the blockchain. The network used by default is the Avalanche Fuji test network, however you can change it to be whatever you want in hardhat.config.ts.
