Minting — Frequently Asked Questions
What is minting on MintyBlocks?
Minting is the process of converting your digital file into an NFT stored on the blockchain. When you mint, a new token is created with a unique ID, metadata, and ownership record. MintyBlocks handles all smart contract interactions securely on the WAX Chain.
How does minting work technically?
When you mint an NFT, MintyBlocks uploads your asset to IPFS, generates metadata JSON, and calls the smart contract mint function. The blockchain assigns a unique token ID and records your wallet address as owner. The metadata remains permanently accessible via decentralized storage.
Do I need coding knowledge to mint NFT?
No. MintyBlocks provides a fully no-code minting interface where you simply upload your file, fill out metadata, and confirm the transaction. For advanced users, custom contract minting and bulk metadata uploads are supported.
What fees do I pay during minting?
On the WAX Blockchain, you only pay the standard WAX network resources (CPU, NET, and RAM) required for minting an NFT. MintyBlocks does not charge any additional minting fees. If lazy minting is enabled, the NFT is minted only when purchased, and the buyer covers the blockchain resource costs at the time of purchase.
Can I mint multiple NFTs at once?
Yes, using the bulk minting tool you can upload multiple files or a complete metadata folder. Bulk minting is ideal for thousands of assets and generative collections where metadata is pre-prepared.
