A blockchain network serves as the foundation for non-fungible tokens (NFT). These digital certificates attest to the unique digital assets' ownership. Everything, including works of art, music, and writings, can be created as an NFT. Artists can monetize their work by minting NFTs which means that they can publish their unique virtual assets on blockchain for selling, purchasing, or trading. Let us understand how you can mint an NFT.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Mint NFTs
Choose a Crypto Exchange
You can choose from a variety of exchanges available in the market. Then, you have to create an account on this exchange platform.
Get a Cryptocurrency Wallet
You must get a crypto wallet and buy some cryptocurrency through your crypto exchange after creating your account with a secure exchange platform. You must pay some "gas fees" as an artist to start and perform all of the computing to mint NFTs. You can use the native tokens of your preferred platform for payments.
Select a Platform
After creating an account and setting aside some seed money, pick a marketplace wherein you will mint NFTs. Foundation, SuperRare, OpenSea, and Rarible are the top marketplaces.
Mint an NFT
Once you've selected a marketplace, pick a theme for your NFT and any file types that the marketplace accepts. Upload your art or creation. Minting will require a description of the NFT and the blockchain network (such as Ethereum, Polygon, etc.) on which you want to execute it.
The sale option must be mentioned when uploading your NFT. There are often two options. One is a timed auction, and the other is a fixed price on your NFT. Every marketplace levies handling fees that are a proportion (about 2.5%) of your NFT sales price in addition to the gas fees for uploading the NFT. After the NFT has been sold from your end, it might be resold, in which case a royalty fee needs to be established.
After completing all of this, you can securely upload your NFT.
