The first step in the NFT minting journey is to create an asset.While artwork is currently trending, there is a wide range of assets to explore. In-game items, skins, music, and trading cards can also attract the attention of potential buyers.
Now that you have a digital asset waiting to be converted into an NFT, you need to choose a blockchain to upload it to. You should research and think about your choice of blockchain, as it will affect the wallet services and markets you will access later.After selecting a blockchain and following its instructions to upload an asset, you will need to purchase some tokens on a crypto exchange to pay for subsequent transactions.
To interact and connect to the crypto network, you will need a crypto wallet.While custodial wallets allocated to you by a crypto exchange are more practical, they won't offer you complete control over your private keys.To have full control and no middlemen, you should prefer a non-custodial wallet when minting NFTs.
As mentioned earlier, this choice will be influenced by your previous blockchain choices. Some popular marketplaces are OpenC and Mintable.Keep in mind that some marketplaces will charge fees for expanding your account, listing NFTs, and any other transaction. Make sure you know what the fees are and how much they cost.
