In order to create your first Hedera NFTs, you'll need to go through a 3-Step Process:

📦 Token/Collection Creation

Remember that the Token will serve as the "box" in which to mint/introduce the NFTs later.

So, before creating new NFTs, you'll always need a Collection (Token).

⬆️ Metadata Generation

It's essential to note that NFT Metadata is typically not stored on the same blockchain where the NFTs are minted.

Think of IPFS as a free and open, decentralized Dropbox.

So before minting NFTs, you'll need to upload and store each NFT's Metadata on IPFS.

Each time you upload NFT Metadata, IPFS will provide you with a unique link known as a CID (Content Identifier) for each NFT, which points to where the NFT metadata is stored in IPFS.

These CID links are what you'll need to add in the NFT metadata field when minting your NFTs on Hedera or any other blockchain.

CID Link Example for 1 NFT: ipfs://bafybeietwnhskdagzi7mnpjg5oxm5fjcq44tb74m3dus5yabcmb2p43h3q/metadata_9.json

🔨 NFT Minting

Now, in order to mint your NFTs, you should have:

  • An NFT Collection, which means you already have a Token ID and at least, a Supply Key to mint the new NFTs.

  • One ore more CID Links, which means you've already uploaded your NFT(s) Metadata to IPFS.

With these 2 steps completed, you can now proceed to mint one ore more NFTs.

Learn more about NFT Collections , and discover how to create your first NFT Collection and get your Token ID with Kabila Tools .

Instead, most NFT data is stored on the (InterPlanetary File System), a protocol that relies on storage-focused blockchains like Filecoin or Arweave to store these files.

Learn how to and get your CIDs.

Once you've successfully minted your NFTs, always visit your NFT to ensure that your NFTs have been created correctly.
