that you can have a basic but solid
knowledge about NFT. Then you're going to the practical part through
the steps you need to do and the platforms we need to use in order to turn your

for? Let's go.
2. What is a Non-Fungible Token ?: First, let's understand what
is e and f t and how does it work before starting turn in your art into an NFT
and selling it online. So NFT means
non-fungible tokens. A token would be
something that carry unique characteristics
and that is collectable, will have several
examples of that in our world, like collectibles, sports cards, famous trading
card games, or even carves. And what about this
non fungible thing? When we are saying that
something is fungible, it's like a $20 bill. If I have a $20 bill
and I give it to you, you can give me back
again at $20 bill. And it doesn't matter if it's the exactly same piece of
paper that I give to you. Since it is a $20 bill, it is still $20. They have the same value. It doesn't matter if it's the exactly bill
that I gave to you. That's something fungible. But when we say that
something is non-fungible, That's right, the opposite. We are saying that
something is unique, that has unique characteristics, unique value, and not be exchanged it by an
exactly other items. It is unique. Like the NFT. For example, we'll have some famous paintings
like Mona Lisa, which was painted in forensic
by Leonardo da Vinci around the year
1500 or staring I, painted by Vanguard in 1889. We also have paintings,
Salvatore Monday, which it was also painted by Leonardo da Vinci around 1500, and which was by the way, auctions in 2017 for
450 million dollars. These pieces of art,
they are unique. They are rare items that were
not made in a large scale. They were made in a time
that will never come back by artists that
doesn't exist anymore. In all these aspects. Cultural, historical,
and even physical, like the oil which
was used and the wood or even the technique of these artists, all
these aspects, all these details, they make, each one of these
pieces of art rare, desired, and consequently,
they're worth a lot of money. They are unique. They are non fungible. And when we are saying that
something is not fungible, it doesn't mean that we are just focusing on art who
have, for example, sports items like the
uniform used by pellet, the final of the word curve. We also have items with
high historic value, like the book codecs
slices through, which has a lot of
texts and drawings made by Leonardo da Vinci
around the year of 1500, which was bought
by Bill Gates by the amount of $31
million in 1994. All these items
related or not to art, but with this uniqueness
and high historic value, they are non fungible. And as they are non-fungible,
they become special. They are rare. So their market
value is affected. Raising their value, which is also affected
by other aspects, like the demand of the public, cultural and historic value, that perceived value among
collectors or society. In general, these items
are special scars, unique, they are non fungible. And in the case of the NFT, these items are mainly what we're going to call
the digital assets. Because until now I just
presented to you items from the physical world,
paintings, sports items. But the NFT allowed
the expansion of this market to
the digital world. So people in artists
in general can make their unique art pieces
and turn them into an NFT, selling it online
as a digital asset. Unique digital piece
of art, non-fungible. And that's what raise its
value because they are unique. And you can ask me, okay, But why would someone buy
an NFT if the person, you can just download a
similar image, can you use it? Well, the answer of this
question is the same for the physical and
the digital items. Everyone can
download an image of a famous painting and you
can buy a printed image, the copy of the same painting, but you just going
to have the copy. You don't own the original
item, the unique item, the one that has the high market value
that carries with it, the historic
characteristics that made it an extremely unique. That's why the
printed version of saltwater moody can
be blocked by $50. The original one was
bought by $450 million. And that's why you can even
download the NFT every day. It's the first
five thousand days which was made by
the artist people. You can download it
for free and use it, print it, you can make
anything with it. But the original one was
sold by $69 million in 2021. And then you can ask me, okay. But how do we know who owns the original NFC on Internet since the files are all digital? This is an awesome question
and the answer is simple. Nft, using the technology
of blockchain, validates the ownership
of these assets. These digital files not only
validates the ownership, but also carries with it all the information
through time. So it is way more efficient
and easy to check. If an NFT is the original one, then if someone wants to assure that our real painting
is the original one, but don't worry about this blockchain thing in a very condensed way
of explaining it. It is just the name of
the technology that guarantees the safety of these transactions
through internet. And know that we
already know what our NFT and how do they work? Let's go to the practical
part of the course. Let's turn your art into an NFT. Any art you have
done with Procreate or even with other
software that you prefer. Let's turn it into an NFT and learn how
to sell it all night.
3. Creating your Wallet : Okay, so the first
thing we need to do is to create a wallet. And a wallet is an
extension that we are going to learn how to
install it in your browser. Don't worry about that. You are going to learn how
to install it step-by-step. So there are several
wallets that you can use, but the most used one
is called MetaMask. There are other ones like
math wallet, Alpha wallet, trust wallet, but we are going to work with
the Matter mask. It is extremely
reliable, stable, and acceptable across
most used platforms. And a lot of people use it and
it is totally free to use. So let's start the MetaMask
extension for Google Chrome. Let's search in
Google for nano mask. And you can click
on MetaMask.io. And here we are. At the homepage of the MetaMask. You can directly download for Google Chrome over here
or click here on the top. And you have three options
to style it on Google, Chrome, on iOS or Android. Let's select Chrome, install
MetaMask for Chrome. One-click. And let's add to
Chrome and add extension. Let's wait a little bit. It is stalling. K. Okay, welcome to MetaMask. So get started. If you already have a wallet, you can click here on the
left to import your wallet. But as we are creating
from scratch new one, Let's click here on
Create a wallet. Agree? And in this screen, you need to create
your password. So create a password with eight characters back here and create this screen. You have a short video
that you can watch, which is going to talk about
the security of your wallet. Because in the next screen, you can see a twelv word
sequence that you need to save. Let's click Next. In this screen, we have
secret recovery phrase. So when you click here, don't share these words, this secret words with anyone. If I can give an advice, Don't save it in any digital device or
even in your computer. I think the best
way to save it is for you to write in a piece
of paper and keep it safe, in a safe place in your house. The sequence of the words
here is very important. And you're going to need to
use it in the right sequence. In the next screen. You can click in your screen. I'm going to click on
my screen here and hide it from you so that
we can continue. So just click here, write down the words
in the correct order. Okay, so I'm going
to click here. Okay, Now, let's click Next and confirm your secret recovery
phrase in the screen, you are going to click on
these words following, following the right
sequence that you saw in the last screen. Now you can click on
Confirm, and that's it. Your wallet is created. You can click here in all done.
4. How to Mint your NFT ?: Hi. So now that we already
have our wallet, I'm going to show you two
websites that you can use in order to sell
or even by LFTs. So the first one is
called variable. And when we enter
the variable.com, we have here on the top
the connect wallet. But the first thing we
have to do is to add the extension of the wallet should be used by our browser. So let's come here on the
top in extension, one click, and let's pin the Matter
mask, okay, just that. Then we can just connect wallet. We're going to select MetaMask. And wait a little bit, you are signing in, sign. And that's it. Now, our wallet is
linked to this website. When we click here
on Matter mask. Just to remember, these is the amount of ether
that you have. The ether is the cryptocurrency that you're going to use to make these transactions and the correspondence
of it in dollars. So when someone buy your
NFT is you're going to receive first moment in ether and then can sell
this cryptocurrency $4. And if you want to
buy another NFT, you can buy here. So you can send to
anyone, we can swap. So here you have the
information about your wallet. Okay? Here at variable, this is
a marketplace that you can find in FTEs
of other people. So for example, top collections, you have several n
of t is over here. You can see the devalued
the price of this N of t. And if it is raising its
value or going down, you can see the
top collections of one day past seven
days or 30 days. You have several
collections over here. Okay? When, when we are
creating an NFT, you need to have
your digital file, the art you created, saved in your computer. So for example, I'm going to use this art here
that I developed. It is a 3D model that I designed of our
country house over here. And I have it on
my computer saved. So need to have it
on your computer. And we'll have two ways
of creating an NFT. You can pay when you
are creating it. Because when we are
creating an NFT, ED is a transaction that we are doing in the online
system, in the blockchain. In this transaction,
you have to pay for it. Or you can select an option that the first
buyer of urine, if T, he's going to pay for this, the creation of your NFT
for the painting process. When we are creating an NFT, we call it myInt. We are maintaining an NFT. Let's click here and create
and select a theorem. And you can select single if you want to make
just one image, just one image into an NFT, or if we want to make
it like in multiple. Let's click here. And

figured fixed price. And let here on the marketplace, let it checked because
it is going to allow other people to find you enter the price for this one piece. You have several
cryptocurrencies over here. We're going to put

nine dollars for this. You can go here to the The bottom of the page, you can create a new

creating your NFT. You can let it here

websites that you can monitor NFT and

the most famous ones. And here you need to
