How to Create and Mint an NFT on TokenMint
TokenMint is an easy-to-use platform for anyone to launch a token using custom tokenomics without having to know a single line of code. It streamlines and simplifies the tokenization process, making creating a fungible token and non-fungible token (NFT) easy and quick.
TokenMint’s NFT creation and minting feature is going live on mainnet soon but is available on testnet and is free for everyone to use!
The TokenMint platform is designed to provide a seamless, simple, and intuitive user experience. There are four components available to launch your NFT:
- TokenMint Chain – a sidechain built on the Horizen network
- Token/NFT Generator – a web app that allows a streamlined and easy process for anyone to create and mint a token with custom tokenomics.
- Cobalt wallet – a web browser extension wallet that stores and manages tokens created on TokenMint
- TokenMint Block explorer – a block explorer that tracks and displays all transactions on the TokenMint Chain.
