What You’ll Need
Before minting, make sure you have:
- Activated and funded XRP address. Minting NFTs typically requires XRP held in reserve — unless you mint on behalf of another account.
- Your media file (JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, etc.) uploaded to a permanent storage service (like IPFS):
- Prepare metadata: Create a JSON file with NFT details (e.g., name, description, image URI).
- Upload to IPFS: Use a service like Pinata, NFT.Storage, or a local IPFS node to upload your metadata file.
- Get CID: After upload, you’ll receive a CID (Content Identifier).
- Form the IPFS link: Use the format ipfs://{CID}
How to Mint an NFT on XRPL Testnet
1. Go to the XRPL Testnet NFT Minting Tool:
2. Paste your IPFS link - it should direct to your metadata file.
Decide whether your NFT will be transferable, burnable, and whether it will be sold for XRP only. You can also set a royalty and mint the NFT on behalf of another account (you must be authorized as a minter for that account). To authorize another address to mint NFTokens on behalf of your account, use our Account Settings page. Just enter the address you wish to authorize and sign the transaction.
Thanks to the DynamicNFT amendment, you can update the URI fields of your NFTs. You have an option to mint mutable NFTs on Bithomp by simply enabling the corresponding flag.
4. Create a sell offer for your NFT (optional).
Just enter the listing amount and, if you're creating a private offer, specify the destination address. The sell offer will be created by signing a single transaction together with the minting.
5. After pressing "Mint NFT," you will be prompted to choose a wallet to sign the transaction.
5. Confirm the transaction. Your NFT will appear on the blockchain and can be viewed on XRPL Testnet NFT Explorer.
You can also sell, buy, burn, and transfer NFTs directly through our platform using integrated wallet support.
