How to mint NFTs

NFT stands for “non-fungible token,” which is a type of digital certificate built on a blockchain — usually Ethereum  — that guarantees ownership of a unique rare digital asset. Minting digital assets (everything from art to music to articles) as an NFT is a way for artists to monetize their work.
