What is an NFT?

We have an extended blog about what exactly NFTs are, but here is the synopsis. NFT is an acronym for non-fungible tokens. It’s a section of code that is permanently stored on a blockchain. Non-fungible things are like houses and humans while money is fungible.

Because NFTs are permanent and non-fungible, digital assets are registered as exclusive and unique. The artwork attached to the NFT is protected from copyright infringement and remains your art even after it is sold or leased. Just like traditional artwork such as paintings and sculptures are authenticated, NFTs authenticate your digital pieces.

With this new concept, you’re bound to come across new terms like blockchain, drops, and minting. In our extended blog, we have a glossary of terms associated with NFTs to help you understand the value of our new feature. Bookmark that page for easy access while you learn how to use NFTs in Animation Desk.

How does NFT work in Animation Desk?

Our NFT service is powered by the International Trust Machine (ITM). ITM is a blockchain scaling solutions provider that makes internet data immutable and trustworthy. Their blockchain notary service (BNS) protects ownership, so you can have more control over your art and how it’s used.

Animation Desk supports Ethereum and Polygon. Ethereum is a secure network that provides excellent privacy. It’s also a type of cryptocurrency. Polygon, a multi-chain platform, is compatible with Ethereum and charges low gas fees, which makes minting more accessible.

Using the Animation Desk app, you can upload NFTs directly to OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace in the industry. Because you’re required to prove you’re the original creator of your work, fraudulent transactions are practically impossible on OpenSea. Also, their fees are minimal with low commission costs for sold NFTs.

Between Animation Desk, ITM, and OpenSea, you have all the basics to start monetizing your digital art. Don’t worry if you can’t code or don’t know much about blockchain. You can easily access OpenSea and list your NFTs in Animation Desk.

Animation Desk is easy to use and designed to be intuitive when minting your NFT. Listing to the largest global marketplace is simple and you can protect your creative works with our authentication process. It just makes sense to use Animation Desk to create your NFTs.

Step-by-step: Make your first NFT on your phone or tablet 

Animation Desk is convenient because it’s accessible from your phone or tablet. Minting your first NFT is simple with these steps.

1. Sign up for an ITM account. You can complete this step at https://bns.itrustmachines.com/login. If you already have an account, you can connect your Kdan ID with the ITM service.
2. Create a MetaMask wallet. You’ll need a wallet to complete transactions in the app. This is done free of charge at metamask.io.
