Majority of the NFT minting blockchain will demand a gas fee from you when you want to mint your NFT collection on their blockchain. These are similar to the transaction fees you pay to banks in order to make payments.
To pay these fees, you will need to add some funds in your crypto wallet. For instance, if you are using a wallet on an app like Coinbase, you can add funds directly to your bank account. However, for other wallets, you can make a P2P (peer to peer) transaction and get funds into your wallet with ease.
Step 4: Create an Account and List Your NFT Collection
Once your Crypto wallet is up and running with some funds in it, you can create an account on the right blockchain to get started. You can start minting your first NFT collection and get started with your buyer/seller account as well.
As the Blockchain technology is getting more popular, minting your creative assets into digital NFT collections does make a lot of sense to maintain its originality. Also, this is the high time when you can start experimenting with digital assets.
