This article will pave the way for creators at the start of their journey with NFTs.&nbsp; We aim to guide creators to enter the NFT space and help them decide if this is something they can do themselves or if they need professional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between creating and minting NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating NFTs is the process of building the assets that will be stored in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/non-fungible-tokens-nft-5115211\">Non-Fungible Token (NFT)<\/a>. These assets can be anything (i.e. digital art, songs, collectibles, etc.). It is important to note that these assets will determine the type of the NFT. Minting an NFT is the process by which you publish that NFT onto the blockchain, once the NFT is published it will act as a certificate of ownership for whoever holds it representing the underlying assets previously created and uploaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Process overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process of creating NFTs is complex as it requires a degree of understanding of coding in order to properly create a smart contract with customizable parameters. However, NFT marketplaces have successfully streamlined this process by introducing a straightforward method through a user-friendly interface allowing anyone to easily mint their NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At its core the process of creating and minting an NFT goes as follows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Determine the digital asset that will be turned into an NFT (i.e., art, ticket, contract, profile pictures (PFP), etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Identify the structure of the NFTs (i.e., hand-drawn artwork vs. generative artwork)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Create and set the parameters of a smart contract that can accept the digital assets in order to bundle them into a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Execute the smart contract on a compatible blockchain (<a href=\"https:\/\/ethereum.org\/en\/\">Ethereum<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/polygon.technology\/\">Polygon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/solana.com\/\">Solana<\/a>, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Launch the NFTs public sale by allowing people to mint them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 List the NFTs on an NFT marketplace to enable secondary market trading<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating &amp; minting NFT through the marketplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Simply by uploading the assets to the NFT marketplace, you can create the NFT and get it ready to be minted onto the blockchain, this is due to the easy-to-use interface offered by marketplaces allowing you to set specific criteria like features and metadata<br><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"493\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/support.opensea.io\/hc\/article_attachments\/4407770719123\/Screen_Shot_2021-09-29_at_17.01.20.png\" alt=\"Screen_Shot_2021-09-29_at_17.01.20.png\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"493\" height=\"506\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20493%20506%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Screen_Shot_2021-09-29_at_17.01.20.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/support.opensea.io\/hc\/article_attachments\/4407770719123\/Screen_Shot_2021-09-29_at_17.01.20.png\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Minting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Once the NFT is created by uploading the assets, you can simply select the blockchain to mint on by utilizing a straightforward, user-friendly interface. Each NFT marketplace will offer specific blockchains to mint the NFTs on. Opensea, the biggest <a href=\"https:\/\/what.digital\/top-3-nft-marketplaces-to-launch-your-nft-collection-opensea-vs-rarible-vs-mintable\/\">NFT marketplace<\/a> by volume and size, is currently compatible with Ethereum, Polygon, Klayton, and Solana blockchain technologies. Minting through the marketplace will require minimal to no technical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 An alternative way of minting is through utilizing lazy minting, this is the process at which you publish the NFTs and the buyers pay the price of the NFT plus the minting fees, thus offering a gasless minting process to the publishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-api.zipmex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Foundation-minting-1024x469.jpg\" alt><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt data-src=\"https:\/\/wp-api.zipmex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Foundation-minting-1024x469.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating &amp; minting NFT by yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 This will require you to create the assets or digitalize the assets and save them on your local computer to get them ready for minting onto the blockchain, you will need to upload each metadata and features manually and configure them through coding that requires sophisticated knowledge. Alternatively, there are ways to utilize templates to help guide you in the process of creating the smart contract, uploading the metadata to decentralized storage (e.g., IPFS), and deploying a landing page to allow minting of the NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A detailed video guide can be found by the team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cLB7u0KQFIs\">codeSTACKr<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Minting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The minting process begins after the creation of the digital assets and uploading the content as an NFT on a&nbsp; selected blockchain which will make the NFT is transferable and tradeable. Minting processes can differ depending on the code specified in the smart contract, some opt for a fixed price minting while others choose a Dutch auction method. Alternatively, some projects offer \u201cfree minting\u201d by allowing users to only pay the gas fees. All of this is coded in the smart contract during the creation process allowing flexibility and customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the most commonly used blockchain to mint NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, Ethereum is the most common blockchain holding the biggest NFT projects in terms of size and trading volume. However, Ethereum has recently been congested and as a result, the fees are skyrocketing costing upwards of $50-$100 to mint and transfer a single NFT depending on the gas prices at a particular date\/time. There are many alternatives that are on the rise, an example of a great alternative is Polygon which is a Layer-2 on top of Ethereum utilizing its own chain to mint NFTs thus offering a fraction of the cost at $0.05-$0.1 to mint or transfer NFTs. We also have Solana, Klayton, Tezos, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/builtin.com\/sites\/www.builtin.com\/files\/styles\/blog_medium\/public\/blockchain-companies.jpg\" alt=\"What Is Blockchain Technology?

By utilizing the best of both worlds you can benefit from the pros of each method while subsiding the cons. The way to go about it would be to create the NFTs using the support of a technical person or learn how to operate a smart contract template yourself and then list your NFTs on a marketplace for the minting process or utilize lazy minting as mentioned in the article.&nbsp; This will allow you to utilize a full range of customization while benefiting from the liquidity provided by the marketplaces through secondary market trades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the recent NFT craze, many creators are entering the market by sharing and selling their creative work (i.e. digital art, music, collectibles, games, etc.).
