NFT Art: How NFTs Are Empowering Artists to Thrive

Minting is the process of creating an NFT; it is neither costly nor technical; it requires a set of creative skills and knowledge about computers. Anything can be converted to NFTs, songs, videos, GIFs and other digital items, but for starters, you have to choose a proper art field which suits you best. For example, as an illustrator, you’re required to use softwares like Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Blender, and the like to design animated graphics and characters that will then be converted into NFTs.

 

What is NFT minting?

Digital assets should be signed with a smart contract on a blockchain to become an NFT. A process wherein you create and register them on the blockchain by code or can be done for you automatically when uploading artwork to a specialized marketplace. A particular piece will now be secured and tamper-proof; it can now be bought, sold and digitally tracked when resold or recollected.

To start minting and generating, you’ll need a cryptocurrency wallet like MetaMask, as well as enough ether (ETH) to cover the gas costs. Most common NFT gas fees mainly mentioned is the Ethereum Blockchain.

Ethereum uses a Proof of Work consensus mechanism that functions by utilizing validators, also known as Data Miners, to solve cryptographic algorithms, compensated for their effort via gas fees, and incentives that provide them continued support to transactions. Total transactions will be equal to the gas limit times the gas price. With a successful solution to these algorithms, it enables sets of transactions to be processed and added to the blockchain that results in requiring a lot of computational energy, setting the gas fees rates based on the level of NFT minting traffic at a given time.

Minting comes at a high cost in terms of gas and it is substantial and can change overtime; it is recommended to always check the current gas charge before minting and performing transactions.
