Minting an NFT on the Sphere marketplace is very easy. All you need to do is to know what NFT you want to mint (and be sure it is available for minting) and in a few clicks you will have completed the process.
Note that a successful mint requires you to have $BEAM tokens on the Beam network, as you can only mint tokens onto the Beam network for now.
Here are the steps needed to successfully mint an NFT on the Sphere marketplace:
1. Connect your wallet to the Sphere marketplace.
To connect your choice of wallet (MetaMask, Immutable, Trust wallet using WalletConnect, Rabby, Ledger, or any other compatible wallet), go to https://sphere.market and at the top right of the page look for the “Sign in” button.
Upon clicking it, a pop-up list of wallets should be in view. Select your wallet by clicking the Connect button and click the “Sign in” notification popup in your wallet.
2. Mint your NFT
To proceed with the minting, search for the collection of choice using the search tool. As an example, we’ll be using the Beam Drive NFT collection. Once you have located the NFT, click on the "Mint" button.
The next step is to set the number of NFTs to mint by clicking the "+" button to increase the quantity. Once done, click "Mint".
3. Confirm the transaction in your wallet
Once you click the mint button, a notification popup in your wallet should prompt confirmation of the transaction. Once you hit the “Confirm” button, your transaction will be sent to the blockchain, and your NFT minted. You should be greeted with a successful message upon completing the minting process.
