What is NFT minting
The process of tokenizing a digital file using cryptography is termed minting. It turns an asset into a non-fungible digital token which can be stored, and recorded on a blockchain. Some platforms support moving of NFTs across blockchains.
The process of minting an NFT is easy and anyone with some exposure to the crypto ecosystem shouldn’t face any trouble doing it. Even the uninitiated can complete the process with some guidance.
Let us take a dive into how to mint NFTs on UnicusOne, tailored for someone with no exposure to the cryptosphere.
Get an account on a crypto exchange
In the mainstream financial system, you can’t move a thing without having a bank account, can you? In the crypto world, you will require a crypto address with an exchange for most basic stuff. Thereafter, the first step you need to take is to register yourself on an exchange and get a wallet. Most exchanges have a standard process for onboarding new users. This includes them submitting soft copies of their identity documents and completing face identity verification.
Get an address on a supported wallet
Next step is to get a crypto address on any of the supported wallets — Coinbase, Metamask, WalletConnect and MEW (MyEtherWallet). You also need to hold enough crypto on your wallet to pay the fee for minting the token. In case you don’t have enough crypto on the supported wallet, you will need to move some coins from the exchange wallet address.
Here is brief information about the supported wallets:
- Coinbase wallet functions on mobile as well as via a browser extension.
- Metamask is a popular browser extension wallet with great flexibility.
- WalletConnect is an open source protocol for linking dApps to mobile wallets with deep linking or QR code scanning.
- MEW (MyEtherWallet) is an interface that enables you to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.
MetaMask is the most popular option when it comes to wallet. Though most people use it as a browser extension for Chrome and Brave, it is also available as cold storage when integrated with a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. To add it as an extension to your browser, you just have to go to metamask.io and download it. On the upper right side of your browser, it appears as a tiny orange box.
