Waxay u badan tahay inaad aragtay dhammaan buun-buuninta (iyo muranka) ee ku xeeran NFT^(NFTs) -yada (calaamado aan fungi karin). Waxa kale oo laga yaabaa inaad maqashay dad ku saabsan samaynta hanti buuxda abuurista iyo iibinta NFT^(NFTs) -yada . Haddii aad tahay isticmaale iPhone ah oo xiiseeya abuurista iyo iibinta NFTs , waxaanu kuu sharxi doonaa wax kasta oo aad u baahan tahay inaad ogaato oo ku tuso shan apps iyo goobo suuqyo badan si aad u bilowdo.

Waa maxay NFT?

Fahamka waxa NFT uu yahay waxay ku xiran tahay aqoon yar oo hore ee tignoolajiyada blockchain^{(blockchain technology)} iyo cryptocurrency. Ha ka welwelin - uma baahnid aqoon farsamo oo qoto dheer, kaliya aasaaska!

"Blockchain" waa buug dijitaal ah oo kaydiya macluumaadka qaab ganacsiyo la xaqiijiyay. Wax kala iibsi kasta oo waligiis lagu sameeyay silsiladda waa mid si joogta ah oo muuqata u muuqata. blockchain lama bedeli karo iyada oo aan la musuqmaasuqin; kaliya blocks cusub ayaa lagu dari karaa.

Lacagta loo yaqaan 'Cryptocurrencies' ayaa ku jira blockchain, taas oo ilaalinaysa inta wadarta lacagta ah ee jirta iyo cidda haysata qaddarka ay ku leedahay cryptocurrency "boorsada," kuwaas oo ah wax la mid ah in ay leeyihiin xisaab.

Tusaale ahaan, waxaad ka iibsanaysaa qaxwo qof oo waxaad ku bixisaa cryptocurrency sida Bitcoin . Waxaad lacagta Bitcoin ka rari doontaa boorsadaada una wareejin doontaa kooda. Wax kala beddelashadan waxaa markaa xaqiijin doona cryptocurrency "macdan qodayaasha" adduunka oo dhan waxayna ka muuqan doontaa cusboonaysiinta ugu dambeysay ee blockchain.

NFTs waxay u shaqeeyaan si sax ah sidan oo kale, laakiin farqiga ugu weyn ayaa ku jira magaca: NFTs waa kuwo aan fungi karin^{(non-fungible)} ! Hantida shaqaynaysa waa waxyaabo sida dahab, qalin, lacag waraaq ah, iyo, runtii, cryptocurrency. Ma jiro farqi u dhexeeya qiimaha hal $100 iyo mid kale. Hal rodol oo lacag ah ayaa lagu beddeli karaa rodol kale oo lacag ah, iyada oo aan wax farqi ah lahayn. Taasi waa fungibility.

NFTs mid walba waa gaar oo laguma beddeli karo NFT kale . NFT lafteedu waa kaliya xarfo^(NFT) xarfo ah, laakiin waxay faa'iido u leedahay caddaynta lahaanshaha sababtoo ah mid kastaa waa mid gaar ah. NFT waxa lala^(NFT) xidhiidhin karaa hantida dhabta ah ee aduunka ama shayada dhijitaalka ah sida sawiro ama fiidyow iyada oo aan lagu tiirsanayn nooc ka mid ah maamulka dhexe si loo xafido diiwaanka. Ilaa iyo inta uu jiro nuqul ka mid ah blockchain meel adduunka ka mid ah, waxaa jira caddayn ah inaad leedahay NFT iyo, urur ahaan, shayga ku xiran.

NFTs maaha shayga!

Waa muhiim in la fahmo in midna hantida dhabta ah, marka laga hadlayo shayada dhijitaalka ah, aysan ku jirin NFT . NFT lafteedu waxba ma qabato^(NFT) si ay u xoojiso lahaanshahaaga ama uga hortagto koobiyaynta hantidaada.

NFT ee ku taal blockchain-ka waxa ku jiri kara URL tilmaamaya hantida ama nambarka buug-yaraha oo tixraacaya hantida asalka ah ee lagu hayo kaydka suuqa NFT .

Sidaad u badan tahay inaad hadda xaqiiqsatay, waxaa jirta xoogaa dhibaato ah tan. Iyadoo NFT ay weligeed jirto, kheyraadka ay tixraacayso si fudud ayaa loo baabi'in karaa. Waa muhiim in tan la fahmo ka hor inta aanad samayn, iibin, ama iibsan NFT !

"Miding" oo ah NFT

Si aad u sameysid NFT adiga kuu gaar ah , waa inaad "reexaanta" ku shubtaa. Taasi waa "macdan qodista" isla macne la mid ah sida lacagta qadaadiicda adduunka dhabta ah la sameeyo. Taasi waa meesha uu isu ekaanshiyaha joogsado sababtoo ah ma aad gelinaysid biraha qaaliga ah mashiinka shaabadda qadaadiicda. Taa beddelkeeda, waxaad ku bixinaysaa cryptocurrency si aad u abuurto calaamad cryptographic gaar ah oo si joogto ah ugu diiwaangashan blockchain.

Markaad samaynayso NFT kaaga maaha mid ficil ahaan aad u adag, bilaash maaha! Waxa jira kharashyo ku lug leh abuurista, iibinta, iyo gadashada NFT^(NFTs) -yada .

Heerarka NFT Token^{(NFT Token Standards)} iyo Qandaraasyada Smart^{(Smart Contracts)}

Way fududahay in la iska indho tiro "T" ee NFT , laakiin waxaa muhiim ah in maskaxda lagu hayo in ay yihiin calaamado. Calaamadaynta hantida, taas oo ah waxa aad samaynayso marka aad samaynayso NFT , waxaa loo sameeyaa si waafaqsan heerka.

Waqtiga qorista, waxaa jira laba heer oo loogu talagalay samaynta NFTs ee blockchain Ethereum : ERC-721 iyo ERC-1155 . Heerka ugu horreeya ee Ethereum , ERC-20 , ayaa loo isticmaalaa in lagu sameeyo calaamado fungible, ma aha NFTs .

Heerarkaan waxay ku qoran yihiin luqad barnaamij-waxbarasheed ah waana "qandaraasyada caqliga leh" ee qeexaya sida NFT loo abuuro, loo maareeyo, loona wareejiyo. Qandaraaska caqliga leh ee NFT^(NFT) ee hoose wuxuu ka koobnaan karaa shuruudo iyo xog badan oo kala duwan. Markaad "mint" iyo NFT , waxaad fulinaysaa koodhka qandaraaska ee smart oo aad u badbaadinayso blockchain. 

Qoto dheer ee heerarka calaamadaha iyo qandaraasyada caqliga leh ayaa ka baxsan xadka qodobkan, laakiin haddii aad isticmaalayso app ama adeeg si aad u sameysid NFTs Ethereum ^(NFTs),^(Ethereum) waa inaad aragto mid ka mid ah ERC-721 ama ERC-1155 .

Ka digtoonow Kharashka Gaaska!

NFT-yada^(NFTs) hadda waxaa had iyo jeer lagu bixiyaa blockchain Ethereum ( ETH ). Ethereum waa mid gaar ah in ay u baahan tahay "gaas" si loo fuliyo macaamil ganacsi ama habka loo maro blockchain code, sida waxa loogu yeero "qandaraasyada smart." Waxaad u baahan tahay gaas si aad u abuurto, u iibiso, una iibsato NFTs .

Tani waa sababta, ka hor intaadan sameynin wax NFT la xiriira, waxaad u baahan tahay boorsada Ethereum iyo cryptocurrency ^(Ethereum)cryptocurrency^(Ethereum) si aad u bixiso gaaska. Lacagta gaaska^(Gas) waxay u socotaa "macdanleyda" kala duwan ee Ethereum kuwaas oo bixiya korontada iyo qalabka kombiyuutarka (sida GPU-yada^(GPUs) ) si ay u maamulaan blockchain.

Waxaa jira siyaabo lagu xaddido inta gaas ah ee aad ku bixinayso marka aad samaynayso oo aad iibinayso NFT- yadaada^(NFTs) , sida dejinta xadka gaaska iyo sugitaanka qiimaha gaaska inuu dhaco ka hor inta aanad fulin habka wax-soo-saarka. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, intee in le'eg ayaa gaaska lagu kharash gareeyay samaynta NFT^(NFT) waxay la xiriirtaa inta ay NFT ku habboon tahay indhaha iibsadayaasha qaarkood.

Waxaa jirta wax yar oo ku saabsan iibinta NFT-gaaga haddii khidmadaha ku lug leh macnaheedu yahay inaadan lacag sameynin ama xitaa aad lumiso xoogaa.

Khidmadaha gaaska^(Gas) sidoo kale ma ahan dhammaadka. Haddii aad isticmaalayso suuqa NFT si aad u liis garayso oo aad u iibiso NFT- ^(NFT)yadaada^(NFTs) , waxay sidoo kale yeelan doonaan khidmad wax kala iibsiga iyo qaab dhismeedka komishanka, dad badan oo kala duwan ayaa doonaya qayb ka mid ah iibkaaga!

NFT Art

Inta badan NFT^(NFTs) -yada waa farshaxanno dhijitaal ah oo nooc ama mid kale ah. Qaar waa farshaxanno kakan oo ay abuureen farshaxanno hibo leh, qaarna si fudud ayaa ah sawirro "hal-abuur leh" oo la sameeyay iyada oo la kala soocay walxo dhowr ah si loo abuuro sawirro badan oo "gaar ah". Kuwan waxaa inta badan lagu ururiyaa ururinta kooxo sida Larvalabs 'Cryptopunks .

Apps -ka kaa caawinaya abuurista farshaxanimada NFT waxa ay noqon karaan oo kaliya codsiyo tafatir sawireed kuwaas oo loogu talagalay samaynta nooca farshaxanka caanka ah sida NFT^(NFTs) -yadu u beddelaan hantida jirta ee aad haysato shay loo samayn karo NFT ahaan .

Caadi ahaan, shayga dhijitaalka ah ee dhabta ahi waa qaab sida GIF , PNG , ama mid ka mid ah qaabab badan oo muuqaal ah.

Hantida dijitaalka^(Digital) ah ee kuwan oo kale ah waxaa lagu iibiyay NFT^(NFTs) ahaan qiimo cajiib ah. Midka ugu caansan ayaa shaki la'aan ah NFT oo uu sameeyay fanaanka Beeple , kaas oo lagu iibiyay lacag dhan 69 milyan oo doolar^{(69 million dollars)} .

Apps iPhone si loo sameeyo NFTs

Samaynta NFT-yada^(NFTs) way adkaan kartaa haddii aad isku daydo oo aad wax walba gacanta ku qabato, laakiin dhawr apps oo ku jira App Store ee iPhone qayb ahaan ama gebi ahaanba waxay bixiyaan hab isticmaale-saaxiibtinimo ah si ay taasi u dhacdo. Waxaan diyaarinay liiska kuwa ugu rajo-gelinta badan ee noqon kara aaladda ugu habboon si aad NFT -gaaga suuqa u geliso iyada oo ugu yar ee buuqa iyo qiimaha.

1. GoArt

GoArt waa codsi AI ay wado oo u beddela sawiradaada qaabab farshaxan oo kala duwan. Markaa, tusaale ahaan, sawirka sawirku wuxuu u eg yahay Vincent van Gogh inuu rinjiyeeyay.

App-ka laftiisu kuma caawinayo reexaanta ama liiska NFTs , laakiin waxa ay kaa caawinaysaa qaabaynta iyo wax ka beddelka sawirada shay laga yaabo in ay soo jiidato iibsadayaasha  NFT ee mustaqbalka.^(NFT)

Waxay kuu fududaynaysaa inaad qaadato sawiro aad hore u lahayd (oo waa inay ahaadaan sawirro adiga kuu gaar ah) ka dibna samee noocyo u gaar ah iyaga si aad u abuurto ururinta NFT . Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad u malaynayso in kani yahay uun codsi shaandhayn farshaxan oo caadi ah kaas oo dib loogu summeeyay kelmadda NFT si loo fuulo mowjad buunbuunin ah. Gebi ahaanba ma khaldanid, laakiin GoArt aad bay faa'iido ugu leedahay abuurista farshaxanka NFT beddelka farshaxannada curinta.

App-ku waxa uu leeyahay nooc bilaash ah iyo qorshe isdiiwaangelineed oo lacag ah oo loo yaqaan GoArt Pro . Waxa kale oo ay leedahay wax-iibsiyo gudaha-app ah oo aad ka iibsan karto filtarrada gaarka ah ee aad jeceshahay beddelka isdiiwaangelinta. Markaa haddii aad rabto inaad sameyso sawirro ukiyo-e, waxaad kaliya u iibsan kartaa taas hal-mar ah.

Nooca bilaashka ah ee abka wuxuu sameeyaa sawirro leh calaamad-biyood, taas oo aan ku habboonayn NFT . Nasiib wanaag^(Luckily) , GoArt waxaa ku jira tijaabo 3-maalmood ah oo ah is- diiwaangelinta Pro , markaa haddii aad haysato sawirro farabadan oo diyaar ah, waxaad samayn kartaa caws inta ay qorraxdu iftiimayso, si la mid ah. Kaliya ka digtoonow maadaama tijaabada bilaashka ah ay kugu soo dalaceyso khidmadda sanadlaha oo dhan haddii aad fasaxdo muddada 3-da maalmood ah.

2. 8bit Rinjiyeyaal^{(8bit Painter)}

8bit Painter si rasmi ah uma aha abuuraha farshaxanka NFT , laakiin waxa ay noqotay aalad caan ah oo lagu abuuro farshaxan-qaabeeya pixels oo caan ku ah NFTs . Xitaa haddii aadan ahayn farshaxan badan, ku sawirida pixels waa wax qof kasta uu ku qaadan karo xoogaa ku celcelin ah.

Si aad u sameyso farshaxanka pixel, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad go'aansato cabbirka shiraac iyo 48 midab ee aad rabto inaad ku isticmaasho palette kaaga. Markaa way fududahay sida xulashada midabka pixel kastaa uu noqon doono si uu u qaabeeyo sawirkaaga.

Hagaag^(Okay) , taasi waxay ka dhigeysaa mid aad uga sahlan sida ay dhab ahaantii tahay. Samaynta farshaxanka pixel ee wanaagsan waxay weli u baahan tahay indho farshaxan iyo qorshe, laakiin xirfad codsi eber ah, markaa waa meel aad u fiican oo laga bilaabo iyo hab aad u dhakhso badan oo loo abuuro farshaxan NFT oo gebi ahaanba gaar ah iyada oo aan aad loo adkeynin in la sameeyo. Appku waa bilaash, laakiin waxaad bixin kartaa khidmad mar-mar ah si aad meesha uga saarto xayeysiisyada.

3. Talken

Talken waa boorsada NFT oo aad isticmaali karto si aad u maamusho NFT^(NFTs) -yada silsilado badan, oo ay ku jiraan Ethereum . Waxay taageertaa heerarka ERC-721 iyo ERC-1155 labadaba waxayna bixisaa hab toos ah oo lagu ganacsado laguna iibiyo hantidaada crypto, sida NFTs .

4. Abuuraha NFT^{(NFT Creator)}

Abuuraha NFT^{(NFT Creator)} ! Asal ahaan waa qalab farshaxan oo soo saara kaas oo kuu ogolaanaya inaad si dhakhso leh ugu celceliso qaybo farshaxan oo kala duwan oo NFT ah iyada oo ay ugu wacan tahay kaydinta walxaha, asalka, iyo saamaynta.

Waxaad samayn kartaa farshaxankaaga adigoo isticmaalaya sawiradaada ama waxaad samayn kartaa wax adigoo isticmaalaya kaliya walxaha la heli karo. Abuuraha NFT^{(NFT Creator)} wuxuu leeyahay in ka badan 100 filtarrada, 1000 xarfo, 100 garaafyo qaab-crypto-style ah, iyo 1000 asal.

App-kaani wuxuu u baahan yahay rukhsad haddii aad rabto inaad farshaxanka ka dhigto mid loo isticmaali karo NFTs , laakiin waxaad helaysaa tijaabo 3-maalmood ah. Sidoo kale, si ka duwan GoArt , waxaad isticmaali kartaa tijaabada labadaba qorshayaasha bilaha ah iyo kuwa sanadlaha ah. Markaa dooro ikhtiyaarka bisha haddii ay dhacdo inaad illowdo inaad joojiso wakhtiga.

5. NFT GO

Iyadoo abka kor ku xusani ay kaa caawinayaan inaad wax ka qabato qayb ka mid ah habka NFT , NFT GO waxay kuu balan qaadaysaa inay kugu qabato hal app. Waxaad samayn kartaa NFT- yadaada^(NFTs) , baadh kartaa NFT^(NFTs) -yada kale , waxaad iibsan kartaa NFT^(NFTs) oo aad ku kaydin kartaa boorsada dhijitaalka ah. NFT GO kuma koobna oo kaliya Ethereum , taasoo kuu ogolaanaysa inaad isticmaasho blockchain kale.

NFT GO waa xalka kaliya ee dhameystiran ee barnaamijka NFT ee aan helnay markii aan baaraynay maqaalkan, waana meel fiican oo bilowga ah inay bilaabaan. Waxay qarisaa dhammaan walxaha adag, sida wax ka qabashada khidmadaha ama heerarka calaamadaynta, oo ay adiga kuu sameyso. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay qaadan kartaa wakhti dheer in la sameeyo NFT- yadaada^(NFTs) maadaama aan u maleynay in horumariyayaashu ay maamulayaan kharashaadka iyaga oo dejinaya xad gaas macquul ah.

Sida loo miirto NFT-yada oo loo iibiyo

Ka dib markaad sameyso NFT -gaaga ugu horreeya , waxaad ka iibin kartaa qof kale. Marka aad ku wareejiso lahaanshaha NFT iyaga, ma sii yeelan doontid wax xakameyn ah, blockchain-na si joogto ah ayuu isu bedeli doonaa si uu u muujiyo milkiilaha cusub. 

Kahor intaadan kicin NFT , waxaad u baahan doontaa xoogaa cryptocurrency ah boorsada dhijitaalka ah. Inta badan adeegyada NFT , tani waxay la macno tahay Ethereum waa boorsada dhijitaalka ah ee Ethereum . Ma dabooli doono qaybtan habka, laakiin waxaa jira bixiyeyaasha shandad online oo badan kuwaas oo kuu ilaalin doona jeebka oo lacagta caadiga ah ugu beddelan doona crypto.

Marka aad soo marto dhammaan habka iibinta NFT hal mar, waa in aad dareento dabiici ah inaad mustaqbalka iibiso NFT . ^(NFTs)Laakiin hadda, waa kuwan tillaabooyinka ballaadhan ee aad samayn doonto.

Tallaabada 1: Dooro Goob Suuq ah

Meesha ugu fiican ee wax lagu iibiyo waa meel kasta oo ay joogaan dadka doonaya inay iibsadaan. Waxaa jira dhowr suuq oo NFT ah oo laga dooran karo, laakiin kuwa ugu caansan waxaa ka mid ah:

• Badda Furan^(OpenSea)
• Metamask
• Nacas^(Rarible)
• SuperRare
• Nifty Gateway
• Aasaaska^(Foundation)

Coinbase , oo ah ciyaaryahan weyn oo adduunka cryptocurrency ah, ayaa sidoo kale ka shaqeynaya Coinbase NFT , taas oo ay u badan tahay inay noqoto suuq cusub oo cusub oo iibka NFT ah. Suuqyo kala duwan ayaa bixiya faa'iidooyin kala duwan, markaa samee baaritaan yar si aad u aragto midka kuugu fiican. Waxay u badan tahay inaad ku dhegganaan doonto isla suuqa NFT- yadaada^(NFTs) .

Tallaabada 2. Mint Your NFT

Qaar ka mid ah abka aan kor ku iftiiminay waxay horeba u bixiyaan hawl lagu minjo- xaabinayo NFT^(NFT) -gaaga . Qaar ka mid ah xitaa waxay kuu ogolaanayaan inaad doorato inta u dhaxaysa blockchains kala duwan, ma aha oo kaliya Ethereum .

Suuqyada kala duwan ayaa waliba leh apps u gaar ah, ama waxaad ku isticmaali kartaa biraawsarkaaga. Iyadoo tafaasiisha gaarka ah ee habka wax-soo-saarka ay ku kala duwan yihiin suuq kasta, waxaad ku xidhi doontaa boorsadaada dhijitaalka ah (la maalgeliyay) akoonkaaga suuqa ka dibna dooro shaqada wax-soo-saarka. Kadib waxaad soo raraysaa hantida dhijitaalka ah si aad u dhamaystirto habka wax-soo-saarka. Goobta suuqu waxay qori doontaa sawirka, waxayna kuxirantahay sida ay u doorteen in ay NFT ku shubaan ; macluumaadka blockchain waxaa ku jiri kara nambar buug ama tixraac URL.

Tallaabada 3: Liis garee NFT-gaaga

Hadda oo NFT la soo saaray oo laga diiwaan geliyey suuqa NFT ee aad dooratay, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad ku taxdo iib, xaraash waqtiyeysan, ama ganacsi. Marka NFT-yadaada^(NFT) la qoro, adiga ayay kugu xiran tahay inaad iibiso iyaga oo isticmaalaya warbaahinta bulshada ama mareegtaada si aad u xayeysiiso.

Haddii aad iib hesho, waxaad lacagtaada ku heli doontaa boorsadaada ka dib marka dhammaan kharashyada lagu dabaqi karo laga gooyo. Ka digtoonow markaad liis gareynayso ama aad wax ka beddelayso. Lacago dheeri^(Additional) ah ayaa laga yaabaa in lagu dabaqo, markaa hubi in wax walba 100% sax yihiin ka hor intaadan^{(before )} qorin NFT-gaaga.

Hadda waxaad diyaar u tahay inaad halkaas ka baxdo oo aad hantidaada sameyso, ama ugu yaraan ku raaxaysato markaad isku dayayso!

5 Apps to Create NFTs on Your iPhone and How to Sell Them

Yoυ’ve probably seen аll of the hype (and controversy) around NFTs (non-fungible tоkens). You may also have heard аbоut some folks making an absolute fortune creating and selling NFTs. If you’re an iPhone user who’s curious about сreatіng and sеlling NFΤs, wе’ll explain everything you need to know and show you five apps and several marketplaces to get you started.

What Is an NFT?

Understanding what an NFT is depends on a little prior knowledge of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Don’t worry — you don’t need deep technical knowledge, just the fundamentals!

The “blockchain” is a digital ledger that stores information in the form of verified blocks of transactions. Every transaction that has ever been made on the chain is permanently and publicly visible. The blockchain can’t be altered without corrupting it; only new blocks can be added to it.

Cryptocurrencies exist on the blockchain, which keeps track of how much total currency there is and who has what amount of it in their cryptocurrency “wallets,” which are something like having an account.

For example, you buy a coffee from someone and pay them with a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. You’ll move the payment in Bitcoin from your wallet to theirs. This transaction will then be confirmed by cryptocurrency “miners” all around the world and reflected in the latest update to the blockchain.

NFTs work exactly like this, but the main difference is in the name: NFTs are non-fungible! Fungible assets are things like gold, silver, paper money, and, indeed, cryptocurrency. There’s no difference in the value of one $100 and another. A pound of silver can be exchanged for another pound of silver, making no difference. That’s fungibility.

NFTs are each unique and cannot be exchanged for another NFT. The NFT itself is just a string of characters, but it is useful as proof of ownership because each is unique. An NFT can be associated with real-world property or digital items such as photos or videos without relying on any sort of central authority to keep records. As long as there’s a copy of the blockchain somewhere in the world, there’s proof that you own the NFT and, by association, the item that’s linked to it.

NFTs Are Not the Object!

It’s important to understand that none of the actual assets, in the case of digital items, are actually in the NFT. An NFT by itself does nothing to enforce your ownership or prevent the copying of your asset.

The NFT on the blockchain can contain a URL pointing to the asset or a catalog number referring to the original asset held in a database by an NFT marketplace.

As you’ve probably just realized, there’s a bit of a problem with this. While the NFT is forever, the resource it references can easily disappear. It’s important to understand this before you make, sell, or buy an NFT!

“Minting” an NFT

To make your own NFT, you have to “mint” it. That’s “minting” in the same sense as real-world coins are minted. That’s where the resemblance stops because you’re not putting precious metals into a coin stamping machine. Instead, you’re spending cryptocurrency to create a unique cryptographic token that’s permanently recorded in the blockchain.

While minting your NFT isn’t too hard in practice, it’s not free! There are fees involved in creating, selling, and buying NFTs.

NFT Token Standards and Smart Contracts

It’s easy to overlook the “T” in NFT, but it’s important to keep in mind that they are tokens. The tokenization of an asset, which is what you’re doing when minting an NFT, is done according to a standard.

At the time of writing, there are two standards for making NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain: ERC-721 and ERC-1155. The first Ethereum token standard, ERC-20, is used to make fungible tokens, not NFTs.

These standards are written in a programming language and are “smart contracts” that define how the NFT is created, managed, and transferred. The underlying NFT smart contract can contain various stipulations and metadata. When you “mint” and NFT, you’re executing smart contract code and saving it to the blockchain. 

A deep-dive into token standards and smart contracts is beyond the scope of this article, but if you’re using an app or service to make NFTs on Ethereum, you should see mention of either ERC-721 or ERC-1155.

Beware of the Gas Fees!

NFTs are currently almost always offered on the Ethereum blockchain (ETH). Ethereum is unique in that it requires “gas” to execute transactions or process blockchain application code, such as so-called “smart contracts.” You need gas to create, sell, and buy NFTs.

This is why, before you can do anything NFT-related, you need an Ethereum wallet and Ethereum cryptocurrency in it to pay for gas. Gas money goes to the various Ethereum “miners” who supply the electricity and computer hardware (such as GPUs) to run the blockchain.

There are ways to limit how much gas you have to pay for when making and selling your NFTs, such as setting a gas limit and waiting for the price of gas to fall before executing the minting process. However, how much gas was spent minting an NFT is associated with how much that NFT should be worth in the eyes of some buyers.

There’s little point in selling your NFT if the fees involved mean you make no money or even lose some.

Gas fees aren’t the end of it either. If you’re using an NFT marketplace to list and sell your NFTs, they’ll also have a transaction fee and commission structure, so many different stakeholders want a piece of your sale!

NFT Art

Most NFTs are digital art pieces of one sort or another. Some are complex artworks created by talented artists, and others are simply “generative” images made by randomizing several elements to create many “unique” images. These are often put together in collections by groups such as Larvalabs’ Cryptopunks.

Apps that help you create NFT artwork may only be image editor applications that are geared towards making the sort of artwork that are popular as NFTs convert an existing asset you have into something that can be minted as an NFT.

Usually, the actual digital item is in a format such as GIF, PNG, or one of several video formats.

Digital assets like these have been sold as NFTs for amazing prices. The most famous is undoubtedly an NFT by artist Beeple, which sold for an eye-watering 69 million dollars.

iPhone Apps to Make NFTs

Making NFTs can be complicated if you try and do everything manually, but several apps on the App Store for iPhone partly or entirely offer a user-friendly way to make it happen. We’ve put together a list of the most promising ones that could be the perfect tool to get your NFT onto the market with the minimum of fuss and cost.

1. GoArt

GoArt is an AI-driven application that converts your photographs into various art styles. So that, for example, a portrait photo looks like Vincent van Gogh painted it.

The app itself doesn’t help you mint or list NFTs, but it does help you format and modify photos into something that may be appealing to prospective NFT buyers. 

It makes it easy to take photos you already own (and they have to be your own photos) and then make unique variants of them to create NFT collections. You might be thinking that this is just a normal art filter application that’s been rebranded with the word NFT to ride a wave of hype. You’re not completely wrong, but GoArt is genuinely useful for creating NFT artwork as an alternative to generative artworks.

The app has a free version and a paid subscription plan known as GoArt Pro.  It also has in-app purchases where you can buy specific filters you like instead of subscribing. So if you just want to make ukiyo-e pictures, you can just buy that as a one-off.

The free version of the app makes photos with a watermark, which would be unsuitable for NFT. Luckily, GoArt includes a 3-day trial of the Pro subscription, so if you have a bunch of photos ready, you can make hay while the sun shines, so to speak. Just be VERY careful since the free trial charges you for the full annual fee if you let the 3-day period lapse.

2. 8bit Painter

8bit Painter isn’t officially an NFT art creator, but it’s become a popular tool to create pixel-style artworks that are popular as NFTs. Even if you aren’t much of an artist, drawing with pixels is something anyone can pick up with a bit of practice.

To make your pixel art, you need to decide on a canvas size and on which 48 colors you want to use in your palette. Then it’s as simple as picking what color each pixel should be to shape your image.

Okay, that makes it sound much easier than it actually is. Making good pixel art still requires an artistic eye and some planning, but zero application skill, so it’s a great place to start and a relatively fast way to create NFT artwork that’s totally unique without being too hard to make. The app is free, but you can pay a once-off fee to remove ads.

3. Talken

Talken is an NFT wallet that you can use to manage NFTs over multiple chains, including Ethereum. It supports both the ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards and offers a straightforward way to trade and sell your crypto assets, such as NFTs.

4. NFT Creator

NFT Creator! is essentially a generative art tool that lets you quickly iterate on different NFT art pieces thanks to a database of elements, backgrounds, and effects.

You can create your artwork using your own photos or make something using just the available elements. NFT Creator has more than 100 filters, 1000 fonts, 100 crypto-style graphics, and 1000 backgrounds.

This app requires a subscription if you want to make art usable for NFTs, but you do get a 3-day trial. Also, unlike GoArt, you can use the trial with both the monthly and annual plans. So pick the monthly option in case you forget to cancel in time.

5. NFT GO

While the apps above help you handle some part of the NFT process, NFT GO promises to handle it all for you in one app. You can mint your own NFTs, browse other NFTs, buy NFTs and save them to a digital wallet. NFT GO isn’t limited to just Ethereum either, allowing you to use other blockchains.

NFT GO is the only complete NFT app solution we found while researching this article, and it’s a great place for beginners to start. It hides all the complicated stuff, such as dealing with fees or token standards, and does it for you. It can, however, take a long time to mint your NFTs since we assume the developers are managing costs by setting sensible gas limits.

How to Mint NFTs and Sell Them

After minting your first NFT, you can sell it to someone else. When you transfer ownership of the NFT to them, you’ll no longer have any control over it, and the blockchain will permanently change to reflect the new owner. 

Before you can mint an NFT, you’ll need some cryptocurrency in a digital wallet. For most NFT services, this means Ethereum is an Ethereum digital wallet. We’re not going to cover this part of the process, but there are many online wallet providers who will maintain a wallet for you and exchange normal currency for crypto.

Once you’ve gone through the whole process of selling an NFT once, it should feel more natural to sell NFTs in the future. But for now, here are the broad steps you’ll have to perform.

Step 1: Pick a Marketplace

The best place to sell anything is wherever the people are who want to buy it. There are several NFT marketplaces to choose from, but the best-known ones include:

• OpenSea
• Metamask
• Rarible
• SuperRare
• Nifty Gateway
• Foundation

Coinbase, which is a major player in the cryptocurrency world, is also working on Coinbase NFT, which is likely to be a hot new market for NFT sales. Different markets offer different perks, so do a little research to see which one is best for you. It’s likely that you’ll be sticking to the same market for your NFTs.

Step 2. Mint Your NFT

Some of the apps we highlighted above already offer a function to mint your NFT. Some of them even let you pick between various blockchains, not just Ethereum.

The different marketplaces also have their own apps, or you can use them with a web browser. While the specific details of the minting process differ for each market, you’ll link your (funded) digital wallet to your marketplace account and then choose the minting function. You’ll then upload the digital asset to complete the minting process. The marketplace will catalog the image and, depending on how they’ve chosen to mint the NFT; its blockchain information might include a catalog number or a URL reference.

Step 3: List Your NFT

Now that the NFT is minted and registered with the NFT market of your choice, you need to list it for sale, timed auction, or trade. Once your NFTs are listed, it’s up to you to sell them using social media or your own website for promotion.

If you get a sale, you’ll receive your money in your wallet after all applicable fees have been deducted. Be careful when taking down a listing or making changes to anything. Additional fees may apply, so make sure everything is 100% correct before listing your NFT.

Now you’re ready to get out there and make your fortune, or at least have fun while trying!
