What is an NFT?

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique and represent ownership of a particular file or item, such as artwork, videos, music, game assets, sports collectibles and even real estate. An NFT is secured and stored on the public blockchain.

NFTs are more than a new way to sell art, they can secure ownership of digital assets, offer access to new communities, and even be used to represent ownership of real life items.

How do I create an NFT?

Before you can begin your NFT creation, ensure you have the following:

  1. Cryptocurrency wallet to connect to Dropspot

  2. Verified Dropspot account

  3. Collection to add NFT's

For more information refer to the following articles:

Now you can get started on your NFT creations. To create your NFTs, follow the steps outlined below.

  1. Click on your Creator Launchpad

  2. Creators with one or more collections created will be navigated to their Collections page. To create a new collection, Click on the '+' icon to initiate the Create Collection process or select an existing collection to edit and create NFT's against. Once a collection is successfully created, Creators will be automatically navigated to the Create NFT process where you can add NFT's to this specific collection for sale.

  3. The Create NFT process will be initiated when the Create Collection process steps: (1) Create a collection (2) Describe your collection (3) Brand your collection and (3) Set royalty are all complete. The NFT creation process will allow you to upload your NFT, title and description. To create an NFT, click on the '+' icon.

  4. Upload an asset file and input a title and description for the NFT. To learn more about supported NFT file formats and sizes, please read this article.

  5. To customise your NFT further, describe your creation. Identify if this NFT is a physical-first or digital-first creation.

  6. Category tags or attributes help others understand more about the source artwork for your NFT. This information will be associated and minted into the token itself. You can optionally choose to skip this step.

  7. Grant rights and conditions to the holder by adding a Creative Commons (CC) license to your work. Creative Commons licences provide a standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice.

  8. Price your NFT using the native Cardano token ADA.

    Once you're done pricing your NFT, click 'Done'. Congratulations, you've just created your first NFT! 😃
