Learning Xahau: Building an Automatic NFT Factory with Hooks

This article demonstrates how to build an automatic NFT factory on the Xahau blockchain using Hooks, a smart contract system written in C. The Hook turns a Xahau account into a URIToken vending machine that validates payments, tracks minting counters, and emits URIToken Remit transactions—all on-chain without any backend or marketplace. URITokens are Xahau's native NFT standard, supporting URI-linked content, single ownership, and custom logic like royalties.
