\*Depending on the chain you choose, supported wallets could vary. Choose the one you feel safe and convenient with.

<mark style="color:yellow;">**Step 4: Create a Collection**</mark>

Find Create on the top bar and follow the instructions to fill in the details of your collection.

\*Creating a collection first is REQUIRED if you want to create an NFT on Ivy Maker or migrate NFTs to Ivy Maker.

<mark style="color:yellow;">**Step6: Create an NFT or migrate NFTs**</mark>

<figure><img src="https://3003882899-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyCWuExOwqx1meUTPk9Yd%2Fuploads%2FrsSdPoVEql85XGUthzqc%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=870a0ca7-a05c-4404-9f27-dab11411fb75" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* 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.
