Planned Features

These are features that we plan to add at some time, but we provide no guarantees about when or even if these will be implemented

Got an idea for a new feature? We'd love to hear about it! You can let us know by emailing us at admin@generatord.io

Image Optimisation

Inscribing images can be expensive, so it is a good idea to always make sure they are as small as possible. If you have a lot of traits, it can be a pain to optimise and compress them all. We plan to add options to automatically compress and optimise images. This will involve converting to WEBP, downsizing and reducing quality. The user will be in control of these settings, so they can choose what level of quality they are willing to sacrifice.

Custom Renderer

The GeneratOrd standard allows custom renderers to be created and used. This allows for dynamic inscriptions (such as Fomojis 2.0, whose background changes based on the time of day), or even non image inscriptions, such as audio, gif, or plain graphics rendered through JavaScript. Custom renderers can already be added manually, bit we also intend to allow this to be created and tested through the GeneratOrd website.

Delayed Reveal

The GeneratOrd standard also allows for delayed reveal collections. This works by encrypting the metadata, and not inscribing the encryption key until the collection is ready to be revealed. Before the encryption key is inscribed, the trait information in the metadata is inaccessible, so the fallback image is displayed (through the fallback renderer). After the encryption key is inscribed, the processor is able to extract the trait information and render the images normally (using the default renderer). The inscription ID for the encryption key needs to be included in the config file, meaning the inscription ID needs to be known when the config file is inscribed (i.e. prior to inscribing the key). This is very difficult to do unless you have a good understanding of how ordinals and bitcoin transaction work. However, GeneratOrd will handle all of this for you, and make it super simple to make a delayed reveal collection.

Metadata Generation Tool

One of the main problems with GeneratOrd at the moment is that users need to create their own metadata. For people without technical experience, it is quite challenging to create the metadata for a large collection, as there do not seem to be many automated tools out there that do this. We plan to add a tool that uses the trait images, along with rarity information to randomly generate and preview a collection. The user will be able to reject/accept certain images, and even add in custom images, allowing them to curate the collection exactly as they want it. They will also be able to add trait exclusion rules and trait ordering rules to improve the random generation.
