Uploading a Citizen Through the Contract

Note: this article may be outdated. These instructions apply to the legacy Citizen contract. The Neo Tokyo ecosystem has since migrated to a new set of contracts.

If Web3 functionality of the official website is unreachable or disabled, a Citizen can be created interacting with the Citizen contract and all the component contracts on Etherscan.

Requirements

Creating a Citizen requires:

• Enough ETH for multiple transaction fees (0.02+ to ensure that you can complete the process)
• These component NFTs must be in the ethereum wallet you are connecting to Etherscan:
  • An Identity or a Bought Identity
  • Item Cache
  • Land Deed NFT
  • (Optional) a Vault can be used to increase the $BYTE yield of the resulting Citizen.
• The token ID for each component

Note: You can reduce costs by uploading a Citizen when gas fees are low.

Set approval for all of the component contracts

Before interacting with the Citizen contract, you will need to set approvals for the component contracts. To set approvals,

1. Open the contract, click the Contract tab, and click the Write Contract tab within that frame.
2. Use the Connect to Web3 button to connect your wallet with the required components and ethereum.
3. Navigate to the function 8. setApprovalForAll function each contract. (It's a different function number on the Identity contracts.)
   1. For "operator (address)": 0xb668beB1Fa440F6cF2Da0399f8C28caB993Bdd65 (the Citizen contract address).
   2. For "approved (bool)": 1

Upload via the Citizen contract

1. Open the Citizen contract, click the Contract tab, and click the Write Contract tab within that frame.
2. Use the Connect to Web3 button to connect your wallet with the required components and ethereum.
3. Expand function 4, 4.createCitizen. and fill in every parameter with the correct token ID for each of your component NFTs.
   1. If you don't have a vault, put 0.
   2. Select 0 for a male Citizen or 1 for a female Citizen.
   3. specialMessage is a custom message associated with your Citizen that will appear on exchanges in the description field. If you want to leave that field empty use "".

If you get an error, make sure you set approval for all in the component contracts.
