hello hello!! 😊
Do you want to know what are the nft? You already know what they are and you don't know how to start? I tell you a little.
- What is an NFT?
An NFT is actually a "non-fungible token" (a non-fungible token).
I present to you a character from the new FURY VILLAINS collection, can you guess who it is?
I will explain to you quickly and easily what tokens are, tokens are like "chips" such as those of a casino to be able to exchange and pay for certain things within it. Tokens are generally the same when fungible as each other.
*In the case of NFTs, each non-fungible token is unique and unrepeatable. One of the most popular uses out there for NFTs is art, though not only can it be used for this purpose, but it can also be used for education, real estate, metaverse, supply chain, and even to know if someone comes to an event or not (POAP). *
I will give you an example of how they can be implemented in some of these cases, in education certificates, diplomas or even university degrees can be minted (minted = creation of nft) in the blockchain and in this way we would not have to depend on the institution that issued to verify the authenticity of the same, at the same time we can be the absolute owners of these. NFTs are not just limited to collectibles, as they can be tickets, access tickets to any type of event.
Currently, NFTs are mostly used to represent artistic expressions such as photographs, illustrations, songs or movies.
The NFTs meant a great advance to be able to market art worldwide, giving artists the opportunity to take their works to a world beyond the physical.
- Origin of NFTs and platforms
It could be said that NFTs have their origin in coloredcoins, which were developed between 2012 and 2013 on the bitcoin blockchain, these coloredcoins could function as tokens or as cryptocurrencies other than btc.
In 2016, a protocol called counterparty was created, which allowed the creation of the first NFTs.
In 2017 in the ETH blockchain the CRYPTOKITTIES were created, they were created as part of a game but they showed us the true potential of a unique collectible, since these NFTs were auctioned for stratospheric amounts.
- Where can I create my NFTs?
There are different platforms that have made it much easier to create them. Let's divide the platforms according to the blockchain they use for the creation of the nft.
In case of ETH you can find OpenSea, Fundation, Rarible.
In case of BTC we find watafan, artolin.
I share some links of the platforms.
Opensea
Rarible
Foundation
Superrrare
- What do I need before I start?
▫️ First we need to know what types of files we are going to mint. (photographs, illustrations, paintings, gifs, music, etc.) always check the size and weight, some platforms have certain restrictions.
▫️ Storage in IPFS (interplanetary file storage system that works through nodes. The nodes are computers that belong to users that are distributed around the world, these users have computers that are dedicated to storing the information that belongs to this network to help to the correct distribution of the files that are within it.This form of file distribution is DECENTRALIZED.
This form of file storage offers three main features:
1 is a peer-to-peer file exchange as is the case with a blockchain.
2 is completely uncensored as it does not belong to a central entity.
3 is totally secure and auditable by anyone anywhere in the world.
IPFS does not depend on an IP address when searching for a file on the network.
In the case of using IPFS for NFTs, it is necessary to upload the file that will belong to it to this network, some platforms do it automatically, however in some others it is necessary that you look for a service to upload your file to this network. network, in that case there is a platform called pinata that is totally FREE.
▫️ Select a platform, there are differences between platforms.
Some use different blockchains, that is, some use ethereum, bitcoin, tezos, wax, this others.
▫️ Visibility in the market, each platform has a different marketplace.
▫️ Value of the piece, this could also be affected depending on the platform on which you decide to lie your work.
▫️ Cost of the nft, some commissions must be paid to the chain of blocks that you want to use for the creation of the nft
▫️ Preparation of the wallet, the wallets are digital software which emulate a wallet/wallet, one of the most popular wallets for mining NFTs is metamask.
