Step by step process for creating an NFT in layman’s terms

We’ve talked a lot about NFTs lately, what they are and how they work and even business use cases for them. NFTs are hot news and aren’t going anywhere. But I hear you say: How do I create an NFT, how do I get started? And so, we’ve put together a basic step-by-step guide, breaking it down in layman’s terms so you can create your first NFT with ease!

But first a recap, what are NFTs?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital assets that are unique and cannot be replicated or exchanged for other assets on a one-to-one basis. They are often built on blockchain technology, which allows them to be securely bought, sold, and traded on digital marketplaces. NFTs can represent a wide range of assets, including digital art, collectibles, in-game items, virtual real estate, and more. They are gaining popularity because they provide a way to establish ownership and scarcity for digital assets, which has previously been difficult to achieve.

So let’s dive right in… Here is a general step-by-step process for creating an NFT in layman’s terms:

Step 1:

Choose a platform for creating and minting NFTs. Some popular options include OpenSea, Rarible, and Mintable.

Step 2:

Decide on the type of digital asset you want to create as an NFT. This could be a unique piece of artwork, a collectible item, or some other type of digital asset.

Step 3:

Create the digital asset using the tools and resources provided by the NFT platform you have chosen. This may involve using specialized software or an online interface to design and create your NFT.

Step 4:

Once your NFT is ready, use the platform’s minting tools to mint your NFT and make it available on the blockchain. This will typically involve setting a price and a limited edition number for your NFT.

Step 5:

Once your NFT is minted, it will be stored on the blockchain and can be bought and sold by other users on the platform. You can also manage and track your NFT using the platform’s tools and resources.

Keep in mind that the specific steps and details for creating an NFT may vary depending on the platform you choose and the type of digital asset you want to create. It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the specific process and requirements for creating NFTs on the platform you choose before getting started.
