The GIF file was recently sold at auction for $ 600,000. If this is a surprise to you; So maybe it’s time to rethink your definition of fine art and explore the world of cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

What is NFT?

NFT is the heading of Non-Fungible Token or Certificate of Authenticity. In real life, art classics and valuable, historical artifacts are often sold at auction with receipts indicating the authenticity of the item.

NFT does the same thing for digital items. They certify uniqueness in GIF, JPEG, MP3 and any other format. This technology creates a new kind of ownership for digital files that was not previously possible. NFTs can be bought, acquired, or sold, and even destroyed as physical objects. Thanks to Blockchain, NFT is for anyone with clear Internet access and transactions, and a visible pricing history.

The process of converting your work to NFT is called “multiplication”, which refers to the process of creating a new blockchain coin and will forever be attached to that content, such as your image file. Artists multiply the internal NFT by adding an internal commission to the token (usually 10 to 30%). Whenever their work is resold, they are entitled to this commission.

Can my work be converted to NFT?

Perhaps, we live in the Wild West of the NFTs and anything is possible. Digital arts, songs, memes, recipes and even startups are now on the list of NFT stores. Currently, there are very few restrictive rules on what can be converted to NFT.

What does it take to start building NFT?

You do not need to know enough about cryptocurrencies to build NFT, and you only need some tools, such as Walt cryptocurrencies  and some ether (Atrium network cryptocurrencies). If you are not familiar with these, there is no problem. You can set it all up in minutes on your mobile phone. In this section, we will teach you step by step how to build an wallet, purchase ETH and connect the wallet to the NFT market.

• Launching Atrium Walt (Digital Wallet)
• Buy some ether
• Connect your wallet to the NFT market

1. Launching Atrium Walt (Digital Wallet)

The first step in traveling to the NFT world is to build a digital wallet where you can safely store your digital currencies and then buy and sell or make NFT with them. Wallet also lets you sign in to NFT stores and create an account. There are hundreds of platforms that offer free wallets for storing cryptocurrencies. All of these wallets work with most NFT markets and blockchain applications.

Walt Coinbase

 

^{_{Walt Coinbase is a great solution for beginners}}

The Walt Coinbase is the perfect choice for those new to digital currencies. The Walt has built Walt Coinbase as an exchange of the same name and currently supports NFT markets well.

Walt Metamask

^{_{There is an add-on wallet as a plug-in in desktop browsers as well as mobile app}}

Metamsk is a Walti that has more than one million enthusiastic users worldwide. This wallet connects easily to most cryptographic applications and NFT stores, and is available both as a desktop browser add-on (on Firefox and Google Chrome) and as a mobile application on iOS and Android. Metamsk also makes it easy for you to build cryptocurrencies without having to buy coins from another app.

Rainbow County

^{_{Rainbow wallet is currently available on iOS and Android}}

This new wallet was created for Atrium Investments; That means you can’t store your bitcoins here. However, these wallets are great for these tokens due to their beautiful design and the way NFT collections are displayed. On iOS, buying Atrium is as easy as buying from Apple Pay.

2. Buy some atrium

In most digital stores, you have to pay a fee to convert your content to NFT. We will discuss commissions further in the following; But first you need to buy some ether (ETH) to cover the cost of building your first NFT.

^{_{Payment page in Rainbow Atrium Walt}}

Atrium prices fluctuate from moment to moment and it is difficult to follow. The easiest way to get started is to set aside the amount of money you want to invest and buy Atrium for the same amount. First, buy some Atrium from one of the in-house exchanges and then transfer it to your Walt address.

3. Walt connection to the NFT market

Once you have your wallet ready and you have bought some Atrium, it is time to choose the store where you want to build and sell NFT. Recommended for beginners working on the Rarible website ; Because it offers the easiest way. To connect the wallet to the rebel, first go to this website and click Connect from the right corner of the page.

^{_{The Connect button is visible on your first visit to the website}}

On the next screen, select WalletConnect if you have Rainbow or Metamorphosis, and click WalletLink if you are using Coinbase. Many other wallets use this option and it is worth checking out these options to choose the preferred wallet.

^{_{The connection option depends on the wallet you are using}}

It does not matter what wallet you use; Because the next step is the same. After selecting the connection option, a QR code is displayed on the screen. Scan this code using your Walt app. After scanning, confirm the wallet connection to Rarible.

^{_{Scan the QR code with your Walt app and click Connect to get started on Rarible}}

Because this connection is secure, Rearble forces you to confirm your purchases after each transaction. Once your wallet is connected, your rebel account will be created immediately. Now you have all the tools you need to build, multiply and sell your first NFT.

Where can NFTs be sold?

The more rumors there are about NFT, the more stores will be created. Here are some suggestions on how to look or get an appointment for antique items.

Zora

^{_{A piece of music by digital music artist Dylan Francis on the Zora website}}

Zora is a store built on the idea that content creators should regain control of their work from the main platforms. Zora allows creators to copy images, videos, audio files and even plain text documents. Currently, this store allows pre-invited creators to operate. Zora is an attractive destination for NFTs and collaborates with prominent music artists such as Toro y Moi, Mura Masa and Yaeji.

Rarible

^{_{A selection of works on the Rarible store}}

Rebel is one of the most popular websites for creators and collectors who want to enter the NFT field. Uploading content and building NFT on this website is as easy as posting a video on YouTube. In a market full of websites that can only be operated by pre-invitation, Rarible is one of the NFT destinations that allows new developers to sell their work from the moment of registration. However, due to this freedom of action, it is necessary to change the copyright and content control laws on this website. The price of the works on this website varies from a few dollars to thousands of dollars.

SuperRare

^{_{SuperRare is ready for digital artists}}

Super Rear is an NFT‌ store for digital artists. You will not find memes or text posts or simple sound effects for sale here. The Super Rear series is very organized and new works are placed on this platform at a slower speed. Searching in SuperRear is like stepping into a specialized digital gallery. NFT works on this website are a reflection of thousands of hours of artist effort, with prices sometimes rising sharply and new builders being accepted only upon request.

Nify Gateway

^{_{Nifty Gateway focuses on NFTs that are promoting the opportunity to miss the opportunity (Fomo)}}

Nifty Gateway is an NFT store that focuses exclusively on collectibles. Nafti works with prominent artists and musicians such as Grimes and Justin Roiland to release limited edition collections of NFTs. Nifty Gateway is one of the main NFT websites that separates itself from other digital retailers in the list by accepting credit cards. Like SuperRaire, oil paintings on oil are often very expensive, and new artists must apply to this website before they can post their work.

OpenSea

^{_{The OpenSea homepage showcases the work of professional and amateur creators alike}}

OpenC is one of the first NFT stores and a huge library of content at various prices, including digital art and 3D collections and in-game video items. This website is one of the most accessible websites for NFT novices and offers a great experience in searching for pieces of art.

How do I build NFT?

1. Create a digital effect file for your NFT

There is no specific technique for making pieces of art that can be converted to NFT. If the store supports the file format you created, then you can convert it to NFT. This creates a new world for content that can be turned into money. Any image and file in TXT, JPG, PNG, MP3 or GIF formats can be converted to NFT on Zora or Rebell. Have you made a great meme or written a recipe for a delicious meal in a text file (TXT)? Well, it can be converted to NFT.

^{_{Comedian by Maurizio Cattelan}}

This part is written in the language of the author of the article  . He describes how he built his NFT, which was inspired by Maurizio Cattelan’s “comedy” and created his first NFT in just a few minutes. Catlan, made from bananas and tape, sold for $ 120,000 at the Art Basel Gallery in Miami. The author of the article says:

I decided to digitally reconstruct Catlan’s artwork and try to sell it on blockchain for the same price. I first created a 16: 9 page in the Kapwing online editor that acted  as a wall in the effect. Then I found a banana emoji and placed it in the center of the canvas. Then, using the search caption, I found the PNG file of the tape and placed it in the center of the image on the banana. And Then I took the output image and prepared to multiply my first NFT‌.

2. Set the price of your artwork and put it on the store list

Downloading an image of a cap and adding it to Rireble for NFT‌ multiplication is as simple as uploading a video to YouTube. First, click the Create option in the upper right corner of the Rarible website. The platform asks you about the individuality or complexity of the work. After selecting the image and its price, pay the NFT build fee. Your work will be on the store in a few seconds.

3. Waiting for bids at auction

After you put your work on the auction list, anyone can find it and bid for it. For some reason, some platforms ask developers to review the platform each time for suggestions, and do not notify the creator when a new offer arrives. Fortunately, this problem will be fixed in the coming weeks.

^{The Rebel Activity Feed section indicates that one of the works has been sold.}

The ability to find the work in the main stores is different; So you may need to promote your work. Most NFT stores, such as Rarible, Zora, and Superrare, have a Discord account or affiliate community that helps you promote your advertising.

Why is making NFT so expensive?

To convert content to NFT, a new digital coin must be multiplied in blockchain. The production of this quin requires complex computational tasks and the involvement of all network computers. In order to use the Atrium network to multiply NFTs, a “gas fee” (gas fee) is required for energy and computational effort required. Gass’s commission fluctuates every day, and sometimes it costs more than the selling price of your work.

^{An example of a $ 111 GSF for building a new NFT} 

These insane fees are a problem for the development of NFT technology and it is hoped that this problem will be solved over time. Funds to cover these fees are emerging for novice NFT artists, and they are essential until the market finds a way to lower prices.
