Introduction
This tutorial will walk you through minting an NFT on the Polkadot Asset Hub using the KodaDot platform.
Prerequisites
Before starting, make sure you have:
A supported wallet like PolkadotJS or Talisman
DOT tokens
A digital file you want to mint as an NFT
Step 1 - Connect Your Wallet
To begin, go to KodaDot and connect your Polkadot wallet by clicking "Connect" in the top right. Confirm that you understand KodaDot will never ask for your seed phrase. Select your wallet and choose the account you want to use.
Step 2 - Create a Collection
Next, in the top right corner, click "Create" and choose Collection. This will allow you to make a new collection. Give the collection a name, description, and upload a logo. Then click "Create Collection."
First, you need to create a collection where you later add your NFTs. Click on Create in the top right corner. Select Collection.
Step 2: Fill out the collection information
Upload the image file (image that will represent your collection), name for your collection, and description (optional).
Maximum NFTs in the collection - your collection will automatically have unlimited NFTs. In case you want to limit this number, toggle off this selection and choose the number of NFTs. Be aware! If you limit NFTs in the collection, you will not be able to change that later.
Select Blockchain - Select which chain you want to mint on. In this case, Polkadot AssetHub
Step 3: Sign the transaction
Click on Create New Collection and sign the transaction with your password. You will be redirected to add your NFTs to your collection. In case you do not see your collection in the option list, wait a minute and continue to the next step.
Step 4: Add NFTs to your collection
Click on Create in the top right corner and select NFT.
Now you have two options:
Single NFT: Add NFTs one by one to the collection
Multiple NFTs: You will need to prepare specific files to do it this way (recommended for experienced minters)
Single NFT
Step 1: Fill out all the necessary information
