\*You can choose whatever you would like to use. For beginners, we recommend using BNB Chain or Polygon for its low gas fee and its huge ecosystem.

* If you are a **beginner**, just create an NFT here.
* If you are an **experienced user** who has already issued NFTs on other platforms like OpenSea, you can migrate them in batch. (**Skip to Step8 for migration**)

Choose either of them and follow the instructions to complete the creation/migration.

<mark style="color:yellow;">**Step7: Create an NFT**</mark>

Follow the instructions on the page to fill in the details.

* You can choose ERC-721 or ERC1155 to mint, they are two blockchain standards of NFTs. If you just want to mint ONE NFT without any copy of it, go with ERC-721. If you want to mint the same NFT for multiple copies, go with ERC-1155.

\*Migration requires your original contract address. If you are a **beginner** without holding any NFT, please **jump back to Step7** to create a new one.
