While registering and minting a couple tokens on Cardano, I noticed a few rough edges in the token registry + metadata workflow. After a few validation attempts, I pivoted from “just get my submission through” to building a small automation tool and iterating against the validators/PR requirements until the process was repeatable.
I’m trying to speed up adoption for people who are new to the process like I was, in some cases this can be a difference from days/weeks to minutes/hours.
I built a local Docker-based tool (“AdaData”) that:
-
generates registry-compatible metadata and mint metadata (template-based)
-
runs validation checks early to catch common submission errors
-
guides wallet setup + funding checks (UTxO/balance detection)
-
builds mint transactions with UTxO auto-selection and confirmation prompts
-
supports an air‑gapped workflow (offline signing supported; Compose provides a reproducible offline bundle of required binaries/images)
Would this be useful for token onboarding and reducing submission back-and-forth? If so, who’s the best person on the registry side to speak with, and what’s the preferred way to share a demo (video/screenshots or a private repo)?
Thanks for your time,
