What is NFT minting?

When someone mints an NFT, they are converting digital files into crypto assets stored on a blockchain — where its authenticity and ownership are established. In other words, minting is the process of turning the ownership of a regular asset into a non-fungible token.

What is an NFT (non-fungible token)?

NFT stands for "non-fungible token," a type of digital certificate built on blockchain technology -- usually Ethereum ( CRYPTO:ETH) -- that guarantees ownership of a unique digital asset. Minting digital assets (everything from art to music to articles) as NFTs is one way for artists to monetize their work.

How do NFTS work?

Each NFT has its own metadata codes, which are stored on the blockchain, to ensure that they remain unique — and cannot be edited or altered in any way. NFTs are sort of like digital trading cards, except each is one of a kind. Unlike other digital assets, there’s only one NFT — which contributes to each NFT’s value.
