FAQ

How do I connect to the token hash value?

Art Blocks will pass you a tokenData object which will have an attribute called hash. You can access this value by typing tokenData.hash and manipulate it as you see fit.

Check out the example.js in the public/js/pieces folder for an applied example with comments.
