Mirror Publishing Tool

WHAT IT DOES

This tool provides a read-only interface to Mirror's on-chain publication registry. Given a Mirror entry ID or an Ethereum wallet address, it queries the Mirror contract to retrieve publication information including the entry ID, owner address, publisher address, collect count, tokenURI, and metadata (title and body preview when available). All data is pulled directly from the Mirror contracts—no off-chain databases or third-party APIs are used (except for fetching optional metadata from IPFS via a public gateway). This is useful for developers, auditors, and readers who want to verify on-chain Mirror publication data without relying on off-chain services.

HOW TO USE

Connect your wallet (MetaMask or any Web3 wallet) to the desired EVM network (Ethereum mainnet or Polygon are common). Enter the Mirror contract address (the main address is pre-filled), then enter either an entry ID or a wallet address to look up. Click "look up" or press Enter. The tool will query the contract and display the entry's owner, publisher, collect count, tokenURI, and title and body preview from the metadata. If only a wallet address is provided, the tool attempts to find entries owned by that address by checking a range of token IDs. The interface is intentionally minimal—it shows what the contract knows, nothing more and nothing less.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM

The tool uses the Mirror contract ABI (simplified for ERC-721-like entries) to call ownerOf, tokenURI, getCollectCount, and getPublisher. It also attempts to fetch metadata from the tokenURI endpoint (supporting IPFS via a public gateway) to extract the title and body preview. All reads are performed via the connected provider; no state is written. The tool also includes a simple fallback to find an entry ID by checking a range of token IDs for a given wallet address.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot publish or create entries on Mirror without signing a transaction. It cannot read off-chain content not stored on-chain. It cannot verify off-chain metadata or content. It cannot detect pending or unconfirmed transactions. It may not support all Mirror contract versions or chain deployments. It cannot publish to Mirror if the wallet does not have sufficient permissions or funds. The data shown is exactly what is stored on-chain—nothing more.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool works on any EVM-compatible network where Mirror is deployed, but is primarily designed for Ethereum mainnet and Polygon. It is intended for informational and monitoring purposes only. Always cross-reference with official sources and multiple explorers before making any decisions based on this data.
