MINT - What is it?

Of course, for people familiar with the subject of nft collections, this is a familiar word, because it is the word used in every nft collection. But if you are new to the topic of NFT, you should be completely unaware of what it means

I want to explain to you in simple words what the term means.

Mint is the process of obtaining a digital asset, which is a converted digital file that is stored on a blockchain. The process helps make NFT a commodity that can be bought, sold and transferred between wallets officially. In simple terms, a mint is the birth of NFT on the blockchain. That is, when you create an image (or video, music, etc.) it does not immediately become NFT. For a simple image to become an NFT, you need to make a Mint (your image becomes part of the blockchain, the metadata of that image is permanently embedded in the blockchain code). From this very moment, your simple image is transformed into a NFT. This process needs to be paid for.

So why do you need to click on the Mint now button on my website and what do you get when you do it?

I have a total of 2222 unique, non-repeating images in my collection. At the moment (09.12.22) I have Minted 51 images. So now you can see only 51 NFTs on the OpenSea site.

When you click "Mint now", connect your Metamask wallet and pay Mint, you will create one more (or as many as you choose) NFT and it will appear on the OpenSea site and in your Metamask wallet and this NFT will automatically become yours. If you could see 51 NFTs in the collection before you made Mint, and you made Mint 10 NFTs, the collection will immediately become 61 NFTs. And then you can decide what to do with it - sell it or donate it or keep it. This NFT will be in the PeacefulTanksClub collection, but it will be yours. And in this way all together will be able to create a maximum 2222 NFTs in this collection.

I hope I've explained clearly what Mint means and what this process is for))
