How to mint an NFT on Binance? (Creator guide)

Setting Up Your Binance Account

1. Visit the official Binance website and complete email and phone number verification.

2. Enable two-factor authentication to secure your account against unauthorized access.

3. Deposit sufficient BNB into your Spot Wallet to cover gas fees and minting charges.

4. Navigate to the Binance NFT Marketplace and click “Create” in the top-right corner.

5. Connect your Binance wallet using the built-in Web3 interface—no external extension required.

Preparing Digital Assets for Minting

1. Ensure your file is under 100 MB and supports JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, or MP3 formats.

2. Confirm metadata includes a clear title, accurate description, and appropriate category selection.

3. Assign properties such as rarity traits, levels, or stats if applicable to your collection’s structure.

4. Set royalty percentage between 0% and 50%, payable on secondary sales across Binance-supported marketplaces.

5. Review thumbnail preview and confirm resolution meets recommended display standards (1000x1000 pixels ideal).

Selecting Minting Options

1. Choose between “Public Sale”, “Auction”, or “Direct Listing” based on your distribution strategy.

2. Specify total supply—only relevant for ERC-1155 multi-token editions; ERC-721 defaults to one-of-one.

3. Enter price in BNB or set reserve price for auction-based releases.

4. Toggle “Allow Trading” to determine whether the NFT becomes immediately tradable post-mint.

5. Confirm blockchain network: BSC (Binance Smart Chain) is mandatory for all Binance NFT creations.

Finalizing the Minting Transaction

1. Click “Mint Now” after reviewing all fields and asset previews.

2. Approve the smart contract interaction via wallet confirmation prompt.

3. Wait for block confirmation—typically 5–15 seconds on BSC under normal network conditions.

4. View your newly minted NFT under “My Collections” or search by token ID in the marketplace.

5. Share the NFT link directly or embed it on external platforms using the provided metadata endpoint.

Troubleshooting Common Errors

1. “Insufficient BNB Balance” appears when gas fees exceed available funds—top up with at least 0.02 BNB for standard minting.

2. “Invalid File Type” triggers if upload exceeds format restrictions or contains embedded scripts.

3. “Transaction Reverted” may occur due to incorrect royalty settings or unsupported metadata encoding.

4. “Collection Not Found” happens when referencing a non-existent collection address during multi-edition minting.

5. “Network Timeout” suggests temporary RPC instability—refresh page and retry with updated BSC node selection.

Q: Do I retain copyright after minting on Binance?A: Yes. Minting does not transfer intellectual property rights unless explicitly stated in your description or external legal agreement.
