Character Minting Process

Minting transforms your character design into a blockchain-based NFT that you permanently own. This guide covers the technical process, requirements, and what happens when your character becomes an NFT.

What is Minting​

NFT Creation Process​

Minting converts your character design into a unique blockchain asset:

  • Blockchain Registration: Character becomes an NFT with verifiable ownership
  • Permanent Storage: Character data stored on decentralized infrastructure
  • Transfer Rights: Complete ability to sell, trade, or gift your character

Ownership Benefits​

Minted characters provide comprehensive ownership rights:

  • Platform Independence: Characters exist beyond platform control
  • Revenue Generation: Earn from all user interactions with your character
  • Development Rights: Access to training and breeding systems for character enhancement
