Today, I tried to create my first NFT (Non-Fungible Token) on the Ethereum Blockhain. For this one, I have used OpenSea. It is a dApp on the Ethereum blockchain which allows you to create NFTs for free. The NFT is minted in using ERC-1155 token standard.
What is an ERC-1155 token?
ERC-1155 tokens are semi-fungible. As opposed to ERC-721 tokens, which can only be owned by one address, semi-fungible means:
- Each token type can be owned by multiple addresses
- One address can own multiple copies of each token
How to create your ERC-1155 token on OpenSea?
If you want to create your own NFT on OpenSea, you can read this article:

This article explains in detail how you can create your own ERC-1155 collection. OpenSea allows you to create an NFT collection and sell it on the marketplace. You will be needing your own ETH Wallet (I used Metamask) that can access the OpenSea dApp. The minting of the NFTs are free of charge but you have to pay a fee in Ether for selling.
You can see the NFT I created on OpenSea below. This one is named "Pink". This was a digital I created years ago. It is currently available for auction as of writing. There is currently one copy available. I will probably add more if the option to add more is available in the future. If you want to check it out, you can click this LINK.
I will add more in the future if this one went well. Leave a comment if you liked it.
