Block Chain (ब्लॉकचेन)

Block chain is a digital shared ledger, that helps in recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. It is immutable.

All the data about NFT minting is recorded on a block chain, and it helps in verifying the authenticity and originality of a token.

Some of the commonly used block chains are Ethereum, Polygon or the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

Crypto Wallets (NFT बटुआ)

A crypto wallet is a physical device or a program or an online service, that allows you to store your private keys and grants you access to your cryptocurrencies.

Gas Fee (गैस शुल्क)

This is a fee that you have to pay for using a block chain.

It is a transaction fee that you need to pay to carry out transactions on a block chain.

Since maintaining a block chain is very resource intensive, hence gas fee is charged to meet out those expenses.

Gas fee has nothing to do with the value of an NFT you are going to create. So you should always keep it in mind while calculating the value of your token.

Gas Fee depends upon the block chain you use. It also varies with other factors like the amount of data used, the speed of the transaction and the time of day.

You have to pay your gas fee with your crypto wallet.

NFT Market Place (बाजार स्थान)

It is a block chain based platform that allows people to store, sell and buy NFTs. It is like an Amazon of NFTs. NFT market places are driven by smart contracts to assure security to the asset holders.

There are many NFT market places like Rarible and Opensea, and many of them have a special focus or niche. Some of them even allow users to mint their own NFTs.

To carry out your transactions on NFT market place, you need to have a crypto wallet.
