Minting NFTs on Stargaze: A Comprehensive Guide

Stargaze Studio is a dApp to create and manage NFT collections on Stargaze by providing smart contract front ends. It is built to provide useful smart contract interfaces that help you build and deploy your own NFT collections without writing a single line of code.

Pre-requisites for Minting:

  • Account Setup: Before minting, creators must have an active Stargaze account. This usually involves setting up a username, password, and other essential details.
  • Wallet Integration: A blockchain wallet compatible with Stargaze is necessary. This wallet will store the minted NFTs and manage transactions.
  • Digital Asset Preparation: Ensure the digital asset, whether it’s artwork, music, or a collectible, is in an acceptable format and quality. Some platforms have specifications for file size, type, and resolution

Uploading the Digital Asset:

  • Access the Minting Section: On the Stargaze platform, navigate to the minting or creator’s section.
  • File Upload: Use the provided interface to upload your digital file. This often involves a simple drag-and-drop mechanism or a file selection dialog.
  • Asset Preview: After uploading, a preview should be visible to ensure the correct file has been selected and appears as intended.

Setting Attributes, Descriptions, and Metadata:

  • Title & Description: Provide a title for your NFT and a brief description that informs potential buyers about the piece’s significance, inspiration, or other relevant details.
  • Attributes & Traits: Some NFTs come with specific attributes or traits that might affect their rarity or value. For instance, a digital collectible might have “rare” color patterns or unique backgrounds.
  • Metadata Input: Metadata is the additional information accompanying the NFT, which might include creator details, creation date, associated links, or any backstory. Ensure all metadata is accurate, as it provides essential context and authenticity to the NFT.

Defining Royalty Structures:

  • Determine Royalty Percentage: Decide on the percentage of royalties you wish to receive from secondary sales. Remember, Stargaze has specific guidelines; featured collections have a 7% cap, while non-featured collections can set their own rates.
  • On-chain Recording: The beauty of blockchain is that this royalty agreement is recorded on-chain, ensuring that creators receive their due share automatically with every resale.

Finalizing and Minting the NFT:

  • Review & Confirm: Before finalizing, review all provided details. Ensure that the artwork, metadata, and royalty structures are correct.
  • Minting Process: Once everything looks good, click on the minting option. This action will start the process of converting your digital asset into an NFT on the blockchain.
  • Transaction Verification: You might need to confirm the minting action on your integrated wallet. This verification ensures security and intent.
  • Completion: After a successful minting process, the NFT will be added to your Stargaze profile/portfolio and will be available for listing on the marketplace or any other desired actions.

A step-by-step tutorial on launching an NFT collection with Stargaze Studio is a no code needed to create your first project.
