Creating NFTs on Algorand:
Algorand’s foundational technology is intentionally designed to support and include all asset types for the future of finance - including Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). We believe in the long-term value that NFT’s will bring in a new era of digital assets, and are committed to ensuring their success in the creation, management and participation in this digital economy.
NFTs: a unique digital asset with on-chain representation of ownership and identification of its authenticity that include assets where the value is embedded in the data of the NFT, external to the NFT (in-game items), or with an off chain asset (real estate or IP rights). We believe in the valuable characteristics of NFTs that include:
Programmability
Divisibility
Transferability
Provability
Authenticity
An NFT on a network that is decentralized by design provides certainty of that blockchain’s future. Without it, an NFT is at the risk of the blockchain not enduring over time, a risk that can impact the overall value of an NFT.
All transactions on Algorand are final in mere seconds, removing any uncertainty in the settlement process of NFTs, and allowing for the performance and scale needed for successful minting.
A platform with low transaction fees ensures greater participation for creators, democratizing the minting, ownership, and sale of NFTs
Democratizing ownership with access to fractional ownership so an asset with a significant price tag can have shared ownership through an NFT, making high cost assets much more accessible
Simple Creation & Launch
Algorand has been developer focused since inception; we strive to simplify and optimize the experience and functionality for our growing community of NFT creators and issuers. NFTs can be built on Algorand in a number of ways:
NFTs can be built using Algorand’s layer 1 ASAs in seconds
Highly customized NFTs with unique transfer logic can be built using Stateful Smart Contracts.
NFTs built using ASAs can be manipulated with unique logic using Stateless Smart Contracts.
Highly configurable NFT applications can be built using a combination of Atomic Transfers, ASAs, Stateful and Stateless Smart Contracts.
