Abstract generation in progress

NFTs are reshaping the perception of digital art in 2025 🔥. It seems this technology is here to stay. Artists, musicians, and bloggers are widely adopting coins. Let's figure out how to create your own.

What is NFT and what is it for? 🌟

NFT is a unique digital object on the blockchain. One of a kind. Not bitcoin.

Why people create them:

  • Monetization of creativity
  • Digital collections
  • Investments

Creating NFT: step by step 📝

Step 1: Come up with and prepare

Decide what to tokenize:

  • Picture 🖼️
  • Music 🎵
  • Video 🎬
  • 3D thing for the metaverse 🌐

Tip: Photoshop, Procreate, or the free GIMP will do. Originality rules!

Step 2: Choose the blockchain 🧱

Not all blockchains are equally useful:

  • Ethereum: classic, ERC-721 and ERC-1155
  • Polygon: cheap and cheerful
  • Solana: works quickly
  • TON: a newcomer, but with potential

Step 3: Create a wallet 💰

Without a wallet, nowhere:

  1. MetaMask: for Ethereum and Polygon
  2. Phantom: for Solana
  3. TonKeeper: for TON

Settings:

  1. We install the application
  2. Creating a wallet
  3. Write down the seed phrase. Not on the computer!
  4. We deposit crypto

Step 4: Choose a platform 🏛️

Where to sell in 2025:

  1. OpenSea

    • Ethereum and Polygon
    • Lazy minting is free
    • It's perfect for beginners
  2. Rarible

    • More blockchains
    • Flexible settings
  3. Foundation

    • For serious artists
    • The audience is picky
  4. Mintbase

    • Collections with unique properties

Step 5: Creating NFT on OpenSea 🌊

  1. Connect the wallet

  2. We create a collection:

    • “My Collections” → “Create”
    • Name, description, picture
  3. Adding the coin:

    • “Add New Item”
    • Uploading file
    • Write the title and description
  4. Select the network

  5. Minting:

    • Confirm in the wallet
    • We pay gas ($5-50 on Ethereum)

Step 6: Selling the creation 💸

Sale options:

  • Fix Price: just price
  • Auction: bids and deadlines
  • Royalty: percentage from resales. Usually 5-10%.

Life Hacks for NFT 🧠

How to stand out?

  • Rare chips in the works
  • Series with different rarities
  • The story around the collection

What is the price question in 2025?

  • Ethereum: $5-50
  • Polygon: almost for free
  • Solana: cents
  • TON: kopecks

Typical mistakes ⚠️

  1. Weak content - be original!
  2. Did not account for fees - calculate in advance
  3. Lost the seed phrase — what a disaster!
  4. No promo - not for sale

Successful Examples 🏆

  • CryptoPunks: pixel avatars for millions
  • Art Blocks: generative art
  • World of Women: tokens with a mission

Creating an NFT is not as difficult as many think. Creative approach. Uniqueness. The right presentation. That's the whole secret! It's time to tokenize ideas! 🚀🌕
