What is an NFT? All you Need to Know on NFT

What is an NFT?

Before you start to mint NFT, you will need to know exactly what it means. At its most basic, it’s a type of cryptocurrency that represent a unique something collectible, and that cannot be replicated.
A simple analogy of an NFT is a shiny Pokémon card. Anyone can print one off and perhaps even make it look almost identical to a real one. But it’s just not the same in the mind of a collector.
We value the shiny Pokémon card for its uniqueness and authenticity. This is the same with an NFT. Of course, you can download the NFT’s associated image or collectible, but that doesn’t represent actual ownership or authenticity.

Before minting NFTs
Before you can start minting your own NFTs, you’re going to need three things:
1. Your song, artwork, or collectible
2. Some crypto to pay the minting fee
3. A cryptocurrency wallet to store your crypto
You’ll also need to pick the blockchain where you will create your non-fungible token. We’ll get into this in more detail later

What platform can I use to create NFTs?

You can pick any platform of your choice you want to use because moste of them are technically the same. If you want to trade your token easily afterward, it’s probably best to choose a platform that has a marketplace you are familiar with. This way, you won’t need to transfer your NFT to a different place after minting it.

Can I transfer an NFT from a BNB Chain marketplace to another?

Yes you can easily transfer your NFTs between marketplaces, so long as the new platform supports your token type..
What you cannot do is transfer your NFTs directly to a marketplace on another blockchain. For example, OpenSea does not natively support BNB Chain NFTs. While it may be possible to wrap your tokens, we recommend keeping your NFTs safely on their original blockchain.

How to transfer NFT to another exchange
To transfer your NFT to another exchange, send the collectible to your wallet. Once you have it safely stored, simply send it to the correct deposit address of the new platform. Always make sure to double-check that your NFT token standard is supported by your wallet and any platform you transfer it to.

How do I send my NFT to someone else?

Note that the recipient of your NFT will have to provide the correct deposit address for the type of token you have. If you have an ERC-721 NFT on the Ethereum network, the recipient should send you their Ethereum ERC-721 deposit address from their wallet.
