Have you always wanted to create your own NFT but didn’t know how? Then you’re at the right place, in this guide, I’ll tell you how to do it easily and simply!

I suggest you pay attention to a young but fast-growing blockchain called @ProtonXPR Blockchain $XPR, it is absolutely free and lightning-fast, and you can mint your first 10 NFT absolutely free, and after you will have to pay less than a cent for it!

Next, I advise you to pay attention to Soon.Market, a marketplace developed by the @kryptokrauts team, very cool friendly guys who work tirelessly and write code faster than a bullet, hehe

LET'S MINT IT!

Well, now that we’ve learned about the Proton blockchain, and chosen a marketplace to mint your NFT, we move on to the guide steps of how to do it!

In the following steps below, I will tell you how to mint your own NFT using the example of minting my own NFT within my Cypher Gang NFT collection on Soon.Market

STEP 1:

STEP 2:

Once you are logged in, you will see your avatar in the upper right corner. Click the “Create” button.

And choose the NFT collection you want to mint in. In our case, we will choose Cypher Gang

But, I must tell you that only shielded collections can be minted at Soon.Market as part of our initiative called Proton NFT Watch serves to protect NFT creators and buyers.

The Proton NFT Watch is a community initiative to prevent scams and copied collections on the Proton blockchain. It allows users to report suspicious collections and ensures that they are shielded from further minting, preventing any more copies from being made

Therefore, Soon.Market along with Proton NFT Watch is the safest marketplace to buy NFTs you like!

STEP 3:

Write the details and description of your NFT. This is where you can describe the artwork or asset you’re minting

STEP 4:

It’s time to upload your NFT file to https://www.pinata.cloud/. Follow the instructions provided by Pinata to upload your file. Once your file is uploaded, copy the content identifier (CID) and paste it into the media type section on Soon.Market.
