Below is a complete list of the fields you need to fill out (some of the fields are optional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Image, Video, Audio, or 3D Model:<\/strong> This will be the face of your NFT. Opensea supports JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, MP4, WEBM, MP3, WAV, OGG, GLB, and GLTF with a max size of 100 MB.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Name: <\/strong>Give your NFT a nice name. Generally, shorter names are better. But, it\u2019s up to you to decide the most fitting name for your creation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>External link (optional): <\/strong>You can include an external link on your item\u2019s page. This is perfect if you have a website outside of Opensea that gives more context to your project, brand, or portfolio.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Description (optional): <\/strong>Enter a description of your NFT to be included on the item&#8217;s detail page underneath the image. Markdown syntax is supported so that you can structure it in an organized manner.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Collection:<\/strong> You need to choose a collection that you want your NFT to be created in. If you haven\u2019t created a collection, don\u2019t worry, it will default to your Opensea profile. You can change which collection it is showcased in later.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Create-traits-on-Opensea.png\" alt=\"When creating your NFT on Opensea, you can add traits to it.\" class=\"wp-image-5853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Create-traits-on-Opensea.png 845w, https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Create-traits-on-Opensea-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Create-traits-on-Opensea-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><figcaption>Properties for the NFT I created<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Properties (optional):<\/strong> This is where you will enter your asset\u2019s traits if it has any. This can be a specific background or items that a character wears in your design. You can add as many properties as you\u2019d like. These traits will also be used to help filter through your NFTs if you plan to have multiple in a single collection.<br><\/li><li><strong>Levels (optional):<\/strong> You can add numerical level traits that show as a progress bar. This only makes sense if you have a use for levels in your NFT collection. Don\u2019t feel like you have to add levels to your creation.<br><\/li><li><strong>Stats (optional): <\/strong>Stats are numerical traits that show as numbers. You can add a statistical name and enter its value on a scale of 1 to 5. Again, don\u2019t feel like you need to add this if you have no use for it.<br><\/li><li><strong>Unlockable Content (optional)<\/strong>: You can include unlockable content that can only be revealed by the owner of the item. This is where you\u2019d add any additional <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/how-to-add-utility-to-an-nft\/\">utility to your NFT<\/a> such as a coupon code, a link to claim a free product or something else you only want available to the holder.<br><\/li><li><strong>Explicit &amp; Sensitive Content (optional):<\/strong> If your NFT is considered explicit, and deemed not safe for work (NSFW) content, enabling this will protect users with safe search while browsing OpenSea. Make sure to enable this if your creation falls under this category. Otherwise, you risk it being flagged and removed from Opensea.<br><\/li><li><strong>Supply:<\/strong> This is where you enter the total supply of NFTs you want to make available. You can do as little as 1 or as many as you want.<br><\/li><li><strong>Blockchain:<\/strong> Choose which blockchain network your NFT is going to be minted on. You can choose from Arbitrum, Ethereum, Klaytn, Polygon, Optimism, and Solana networks. Ethereum is the most popular blockchain for NFTs.<br><\/li><li><strong>Freeze Metadata (optional): <\/strong>Freezing your metadata enables you to permanently lock and store all of your item&#8217;s content in decentralized file storage. Once locked, your content can\u2019t be edited or removed as it is permanently stored in decentralized file storage, which will be accessible for others to view and use. (You can only enable this option after you create your NFT.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

To do this, you will need to list it for sale. This can be done in three simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

The minimum amount of time you can list an NFT is 15 minutes and the maximum is 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to list your NFT as a Timed Auction, you can choose to sell it to the highest bidder after the time you set has been reached (you can enable a reserve price as well). Or, you can list it with a declining price (with a set ending price).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Pay Any Associated Fees to Confirm the Listing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is your first time selling on Opensea, you will need to pay a gas fee to allow Seaport to interact with your item (or all items in the collection, if the collection supports it). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has to be done once per collection. These fees range anywhere from $5 to over $100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Sell-your-NFT-on-Opensea.png\" alt=\"Selling your NFT on Opensea is easy.

One option to avoid paying a cancelation fee is to let the listing expire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does it Cost to Create an NFT on Opensea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s free to create an NFT on Opensea. Since your item isn\u2019t minted until it\u2019s sold, you don\u2019t have to pay any fees during the creation process. Rather, the buyer will pay a fee to publish it to the blockchain at the time of purchase. Opensea also takes 2.5% of the sale price when you sell your NFT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you do have to pay a transaction fee as mentioned previously if you want to list your NFT for sale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t list your NFT and someone makes an offer on it, you will still have to pay a gas fee to approve the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Create an NFT on the Opensea App?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Mint-Opensea-NFT-on-Mobile.png\" alt=\"If you are trying to mint an NFT on Opensea via your mobile device, you will have to use a different platform.\" class=\"wp-image-5859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Mint-Opensea-NFT-on-Mobile.png 845w, https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Mint-Opensea-NFT-on-Mobile-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Mint-Opensea-NFT-on-Mobile-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><figcaption>You can mint an NFT on mobile using one of these other platforms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t create an NFT using the Opensea App. The only option for creating and listing your item on Opensea is through your browser. That said, you can create an <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/nft-smart-contracts-explained\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/nft-smart-contracts-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NFT smart contract <\/a>on Opensea via your mobile device\u2019s browser under the My Collections tab. You will have to leave Opensea to mint though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do decide to mint an NFT on your mobile device using one of these options, just know that it&#8217;s not directly through Opensea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are separate platforms that are used specifically for minting NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, if you do mint an NFT on one of these platforms, it will appear on Opensea as its own contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minting an NFT on Opensea can be done in 3 steps. Sign in to your Opensea profile, go to the Create tab and fill in your NFT&#8217;s details, then review the details before creating your NFT for free. To create an NFT on Opensea you need a <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscrilla.com\/staging\/4768\/best-hardware-wallet-for-nfts\/\">crypto wallet<\/a> and the item you want to turn into a digital asset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating an NFT on Opensea is easy and free.
