In this article, you will learn the overview of each step and access links to full articles for in-depth tutorials. Building NFTs takes 4 steps in general, however, we added the fifth step which is sharing your NFT as it is basically the final stage of the cycle. Click the link below to go to the appropriate steps:

Step 1: Selecting a Verse where you want to build the NFT

Step 2: Creating the NFT

In summary, creating the NFT will require you to do the following:
