TL;DR

If you want to mint your own NFTs, the Binance NFT Marketplace is a great place to start. You can also do this directly on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) using DeFi platforms like Binance NFT Marketplace, BakerySwap or TreasureLand. BSC offers low fees, fast transactions, and a growing NFT community.

There are many platforms available, but typically you just need to fill in your NFT details, upload your artwork or digital file, and pay the issuance fee. If you want to sell your NFT, you can also list it on various NFT marketplaces.

Introduction

If you haven't heard about the recent hype around NFTs (non-fungible tokens), you might just be living under a rock. Celebrities, digital artists and creative users are striving to put their artwork on the blockchain.

From paintings and music to NBA trading cards. There are many possibilities when creating NFTs. It's a great tool for proving authenticity and ownership of works and other creative works.

If you are very talented (or lucky), it is also possible to earn good money. Imagine an NFT as a collectible digital record or a completely unique painting. If there is demand for your NFT, prices can be sky-high. You may have heard of artist Beeple, who sold an NFT called "Everydays: the First 5000 Days" for over $69 million.

In addition to Beeple, other artists are selling their NFTs on blockchain markets. The value of the largest sales speaks for itself.

Before creating NFTs

Before you can start creating your own NFTs, you will need three items:

• Your music, art or collectible

• Some cryptocurrencies to pay the issuance fee

• A cryptocurrency wallet to store your cryptos

You must also choose the blockchain on which you will create your non-fungible token. We will see more details about this later.

What is an NFT?

Maybe you're set on creating an NFT, but do you already know what exactly an NFT is? Basically, it is a type of cryptocurrency that represents something unique, collectible and cannot be replicated.

A simple analogy of an NFT is a shiny Pokémon card. Anyone can print one and even make it almost identical to the original. But it's not the same in a collector's mind.

The value of the shiny Pokémon card lies in its uniqueness and authenticity. The same applies to an NFT. It is possible to download a collectible item or image associated with the NFT, but this does not represent ownership or authenticity.

Even limited series NFTs are not all created equal. You may have series number 01/100 and this may make it more valuable than the other units.

To learn more about the origins of the new NFT craze, we recommend reading CryptoKitties and CryptoPunks. These were some of the most popular early digital collectibles projects on the Ethereum network.

What can be an NFT?

A big question to be answered is what exactly an NFT can represent. Are they just digital items or can they also be real-world art? Although not as common, physical collectibles can also be represented by NFTs. In these cases, the private key to a wallet containing the NFT is usually provided along with the piece.

Christie's even auctioned off the blockchain-inspired NFT physical art, Block 21 (42.36433° N, -71.26189° E) (from Portraits of a Mind), with an associated NFT in an OpenDime hardware wallet.

Still, it's much more common for digital artworks, songs, gifs, and videos to have their own NFT. Even video game collectibles can be represented with NFTs and staking financial products. Crypto art and NFTs are not limited to just one format. In other words, the sky is the limit when it comes to creativity for your new NFT.

Do I need a specific wallet to use NFTs?

It all comes down to the network you chose to create your token. Fortunately, most wallets these days support Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, so it shouldn't make much of a difference. These are the two most used blockchains for NFTs.

The most important thing is to check which blockchain network your token is integrated with. If it is an Ethereum token, you will need an Ethereum compatible wallet. If it's on Tezos, you'll need a Tezos-compatible wallet.

To make things easier, we recommend using MetaMask or Trust Wallet. These two crypto wallets support a wide variety of blockchains. However, you should always confirm that your wallet supports the blockchain your token is on.

Which blockchain should I use?

There are some blockchain options available for creating an NFT. The Ethereum network was the first major blockchain to offer non-fungible tokens like the ones we know today. The list of NFT-compatible blockchains now includes Binance Smart Chain, Polkadot, Tron, Tezos, and many more.

Currently, most existing NFTs are on Ethereum or BSC. However, Ethereum's gas fees have made the processes of creating and managing NFTs very expensive. Binance Smart Chain is a much cheaper alternative and offers faster transactions. There are many NFT markets and projects, meaning you have a large audience to find potential buyers.

Which platform can I use to create NFTs?

Choosing a platform to mint your NFT is personal and depends on your preferred blockchain. Most BSC protocols will create your NFT as a BEP-721 token, so they will be technically the same regardless of your choice.

Subsequently, if you want to trade your token easily, it is best to choose a platform that has a market that you are familiar with. This way, you don't need to transfer your NFT to a different location after you create it.

To facilitate the process, we recommend the BakerySwap and Treasureland platforms. These BSC projects have simple interfaces and low fees for creating your NFT. BakerySwap has the largest NFT marketplace. It is a good choice for those who want to sell the NFT soon after its creation. Treasureland offers free creation of NFTs. If you are thinking about using Ethereum, consider two of the most popular options, OpenSea or Rarible.

Is it possible to transfer an NFT from one BSC market to another?

You can easily transfer your NFTs between different markets as long as the new platform supports your token type. The vast majority of BSC markets and exchanges support BEP-721 and BEP-1155 tokens. These are the most common types of BSC NFTs.

What you can't do is transfer your NFTs directly to a marketplace on another blockchain. For example, OpenSea does not have native support for Binance Smart Chain NFTs. Although there is the option of token wrapping, we recommend keeping your NFTs safe on their original blockchain.

To transfer your NFT to another exchange, send the collectible to your wallet. Once you have it safely stored, simply send it to the new platform's deposit address. When making the transfer, always check whether the NFT token standard is compatible with your wallet or any other platform you are using.

How to create an NFT on Binance NFT Marketplace

1. Go to the Binance NFT Marketplace homepage and click [Create]. To do this, you will need to connect your cryptocurrency wallet.

2. Then you just need to upload your digital files (images, audio, videos, etc.).

3. Remember to add a description (metadata) to your NFT. You must also choose between creating individual NFTs or a Collection (group of NFTs).

How to create an NFT on BakerySwap

At BakerySwap, you can create an NFT in just 5 minutes. Make sure you have a BNB balance for your issuance fee (0.01 BNB at the time of writing this article) and a cryptocurrency wallet to store your BNB.

Note that issuance fees may vary depending on the price of BNB. If you don't already have a wallet, we recommend Trust Wallet for mobile users and MetaMask for desktop/computer users.

At BakerySwap, you can choose to create:

• Images

• GIFs

• videos

• Audios

The following steps show how to create an NFT on BakerySwap.

1. First, go to the BakerySwap NFT Marketplace and connect your wallet in the top right corner of the screen.

2. After connecting your wallet, click [Mint Artworks] to start the process of creating your NFT.

3. Fill in the necessary fields with all the information about your collectible item.

4. Below your NFT details, click [+] to upload your file. You can also see the current issuance rate below the anti-plagiarism statement.

5. After correctly filling in the information and completing your image upload, make sure you agree with the anti-plagiarism statement and then click [Mint].

6. If you are using MetaMask, a window will appear asking you to confirm payment of the issuance fee.

7. After payment, you will now be able to see your NFT on the blockchain using BscScan. Now you can trade and transfer your NFT however you want.

How to create an NFT in Treasureland

The Treasureland platform is an NFT marketplace that is part of the BSC Dego Finance project, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol and NFT ecosystem. Issuing NFTs on Treasureland is free for the creator, as NFT buyers are the ones who pay the fees.

Currently, Treasureland allows users to create NFTs from images and GIFs. You can choose between a single or series NFT and set the creator's royalties.

1. To get started, go to the Treasureland Create section and connect your cryptocurrency wallet.

2. You will be redirected to the NFT creation page where you must fill in all the NFT details and upload your image or gif.

3. Note that Treasureland set the royalty value at 10% before creating your NFT.

4. Now your NFT is ready and available for sale. If you want to transfer it, you must pay the issuance fee.

How do I send my NFT to someone else?

Once you buy or create your own NFT, you can send it to someone else, directly from your wallet. If your wallet has an NFT section, you can select any of your NFTs and click the option to send it (Trust Wallet and MetaMask offer this feature).

Remember, the recipient of your NFT must provide the correct deposit address according to your token type. If you have an ERC-721 NFT on the Ethereum network, the recipient must provide the Ethereum ERC-721 deposit address of their wallet.

Can I share NFT ownership and sale proceeds with others?

At the moment, partnership processes can be a bit complicated for NFTs. The most common types of NFT (ERC721, ERC1155, BEP721, BEP1155) only allow for a single owner.

However, some projects have plans to allow the value of the first sale to be split between several portfolios. This feature is not built into the token code, it depends on the exchange or market you are using. We recommend that you consult the broker about the possibility of splitting the NFT sale value.

If you want to have full control over your NFTs and want to store them in a non-custodial wallet, you can use a decentralized platform.

Final considerations

The non-fungible token ecosystem is growing rapidly and is increasingly accessible and practical. For anyone interested in creating their own NFTs, the process is quite simple. To create, buy or sell NFTs, there is a project available for you. Happy NFT creation!
