Chain Daddy

Appearance

Gallery ​

Show your art, video and music on your coin page. Your files stay where you host them (IPFS or any https link), and no code is needed. The Gallery is free on every plan; making a piece holders-only comes with every paid plan.

  1. In your coin manager, add the Gallery app to your page.

  2. On your coin page, select Edit gallery on the Gallery tile.

  3. Paste a link for each piece:

    • an IPFS CID (bafy… or Qm…), an ipfs:// link, or a link from any IPFS gateway, or
    • an https link to the file.

    Or use Upload an image for a picture up to 8 MB. Add video and audio by link, or upload them as holders-only pieces.

  4. Give each piece a title and, if you like, a caption. Video can have a poster, and audio can have cover art.

  5. Choose a layout and select Publish.

ReelOne piece at a time, and vertical video
PlaylistMusic, with cover art

The tile shows the first pieces as a cover. Visitors tap it to open the Gallery full screen.

Putting files on IPFS ​

IPFS gives each file a CID, an address made from its contents, so the link always points at the same file. Connect your media storage and your uploads go straight to your own IPFS account. Or upload your file to a pinning service such as Pinata, Filebase or web3.storage, copy the CID, and paste it into the Gallery. Keep the file pinned for as long as you want it shown.

Video and audio play straight from your link, so use a format browsers play: MP4 (H.264) or WebM for video, and MP3, M4A or OGG for audio.

Holders-only pieces ​

Set any piece to Holders and choose how much of your coin a wallet must hold to see it. Visitors see the piece pixelated under a lock, with what it takes to open it:

  1. They connect a wallet and select Unlock, which signs them in with a free signature.
  2. If the wallet holds enough of your coin right now, the piece opens.

You can add an optional public teaser: an image everyone sees, pixelated, behind the lock.

Holders-only pieces come with every paid plan. If your plan ends, they stay in your Gallery but stay locked for everyone, holders included, and open again when you renew. You can still remove a piece or make it public.

Encrypted pieces ​

Upload for holders only encrypts an image, video or audio file (up to 200 MB) in your browser before it uploads it to your own storage, and adds it as a holders-only piece. The file on IPFS is unreadable without its key, which Chain Daddy gives only to viewers the piece is open to. It needs your media storage connected. An encrypted piece stays holders-only, and its link can't be edited.

A linked piece is not copy protection

For a piece you add by link, holders-only keeps the link off the page for anyone who doesn't hold enough. IPFS files are public, so anyone who has the link can still open it. Use Upload for holders only for a piece only holders should be able to open.

Reporting a piece ​

Every piece has a Report link. It opens an email to support@chaindaddy.io with the coin and the piece filled in.

If a reported piece breaks our Terms, we stop showing it on Chain Daddy. In your editor it's marked Hidden, with the reason, and it can't be added again. Remove it from your gallery, or write to support@chaindaddy.io if you think it's a mistake.
