Lesson 1: Introduction to NFTs
Welcome to the first step in understanding the world of NFTs — Non-Fungible Tokens. In this lesson, we’ll explore what makes NFTs unique compared to regular cryptocurrencies, how digital ownership works on the blockchain, and the crucial role of metadata in defining what each token represents. You’ll discover how NFTs link art, identity, and technology, and why they’re reshaping the digital economy.

Recap:

• NFTs = unique blockchain tokens that represent ownership of digital assets.

• Key components: token, ownership record, and metadata (the “DNA” of an NFT).

• Standards like ERC-721 and ERC-1155 ensure interoperability.

• Metadata defines attributes, media links, and provenance — always verify it!

Intro:
In this session, you’ll move from concept to creation. We’ll discuss how to craft digital artworks ready for minting on the SINFT platform. You’ll learn best practices for preparing image files, structuring metadata, and organizing your assets if you plan to release a full collection. This is where creativity meets technology — your imagination becomes a digital collectible.

Recap:

• Choose clear, high-quality digital art formats (PNG, MP4, GLB, etc.).

• Prepare metadata files (name, description, attributes, file link).

• Follow SINFT platform file and format guidelines.

• Use creative layering and consistency for NFT collections.

Intro:
Before you can mint or own an NFT, you need a secure digital wallet. In this lesson, you’ll set up your first wallet, understand how private keys and seed phrases protect your assets, and learn how to connect wallets to NFT platforms like SINFT. Think of your wallet as your personal vault — it stores not only tokens but your digital identity.

Recap:

• Digital wallets manage your blockchain assets and identity.

• Types: software, hardware, custodial, and non-custodial.

• Always back up your seed phrase safely and never share it.

• Connect your wallet to SINFT or other dApps securely (check URLs and permissions).

Intro:
Now that you have your art and your wallet ready, it’s time to mint — to bring your creation onto the blockchain. In this lesson, we’ll walk through the SINFT minting process: uploading assets, linking metadata, choosing blockchain networks, and confirming transactions. By the end, you’ll have your first NFT recorded immutably on-chain.

Recap:

• Minting = converting digital assets into blockchain tokens.

• Required elements: wallet, prepared metadata, and digital asset.

• Understand gas fees, network selection, and confirmation steps.

• After minting, verify your NFT on SINFT and blockchain explorers.

Intro:
Your NFT is live — now what? In this final lesson, we explore NFT marketplaces and the lifecycle of NFTs after minting. You’ll learn how to list NFTs for sale, set royalties, engage your audience, and manage transactions. We’ll also discuss market dynamics, ethical promotion, and how to identify scams in the evolving NFT ecosystem.

Recap:

• NFT marketplaces connect creators and collectors (primary & secondary sales).

• Learn how to list, price, and promote your NFTs effectively.

• Set royalties to earn from resales automatically.

• Practice safety — always verify marketplaces and beware of scams.
