NFT Upgrades​

The Upgrader is a piece of software the Darkblock Team has built on top of the Darkblock API. As the name implies, its function is to upgrade pre-existing NFTs.

Its main purpose is to make the lives of web3 builders, that want to give their end users the ability to upgrade their NFTs with darkblocks, a little bit easier.

Builders can grab the Upgrader as an NPM and as long as the NFT ID is passed into the Upgrader and the user can connect their wallet to verify they have the permission to create a darkblock for this specific NFT the Upgrader takes care of the rest.

The Upgrader is easily customizable with CSS so as to match the app it lives in.
