How do NFTs work?
A non-fungible token (NFT) transforms a digital work of art and other collectibles into a one-of-a-kind, verifiable digital asset that can be traded on the NFT market or NFT blockchain technology. Many NFTs come with their own unique information, including ownership and transaction details stored under its smart contract.

Minting NFTs using LiveLike
NFTs can be minted using the LiveLike CMS by going to the NFTs section. Minting an NFT in LiveLike CMS aims to simplify the overall minting process for the operator while providing useful details during and after the minting process is complete. The process consists of the following steps...
Connect your crypto wallet
NFTs are not stored on the LiveLike platform; they are stored in your crypto wallet. NFTs are also transacted in your wallet. Minting an NFT requires computing energy used by the network which is represented by a gas fee. The operator is required to pay the gas fee. In order for the gas fee to be paid, a connection to a crypto wallet is required.
Fill out NFT metadata
An NFT consists of a name, description and a media asset. As an operator you are required to fill out the name and pick an image to upload. The metadata and the media asset of the NFT are stored using the IPFS protocol.
Confirm payment of the estimated gas price
Confirming payment for the estimated gas prices is the final step of minting an NFT. It is important to mention that gas fees are estimated and the final gas fee paid might differ from the estimated one. The operator bares the responsibility of making sure they have enough funds in their crypto wallet to cover them.
Even if minting is failed, user have to pay the gas fee for failed transaction.
