Guide

Introduction

Welcome! In this guide we'll cover everything you need to know to start creating NFTs.

Section 1 is a guide for learning how NFTs work, which covers smart contracts, token metadata, and asset files.

In Section 2, we'll look at some of the tools you can use to create these things. We'll primarily focus on the tools that are part of this site, Studio 721. There's also a 4-part video walkthrough!

Studio 721 and this guide were created by me, @dvnabbott, and sponsored by @LondonDAO. Let us know what you think!

Who is this guide for?

This guide is intended for people who are already familiar with cryptocurrency, wallets, and collecting NFTs. It will assume you're comfortable with e.g. signing transactions using a wallet like MetaMask.

You'll also see developer terminology used throughout this guide, e.g. JSON. While you don't need to be a professional developer to create NFTs, creating NFTs is fundamentally somewhat technical, so it's valuable to familiarize yourself with the terms if they're new to you.
