What are smart contracts?
A smart contract is an agreement between two people written in code and stored on blockchain technology. The code defines the rules of the agreement and the network of computers that run the blockchain network enforces those rules. No one can change the terms of the contract or interfere with its execution. Smart contracts can revolutionise many industries by making agreements more reliable and transparent.
For example a smart contract could be used to sell a house, the blockchain would handle the payments and transfer of ownership. Smart contracts could also create financial contracts or agreements between companies. The possibilities are endless.

What is ‘Minting’?
In the context of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), minting means creating a new, unique digital token on a blockchain. When an NFT is minted a new record is created on the blockchain to represent a specific digital item. This record is immutable, meaning it can’t be changed, so the NFT is authentic and provable.
Unlike fungible tokens (like most cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum where each token is the same as every other token), each NFT has a unique value and specific information that makes it different from other tokens. This makes NFTs perfect for art, collectables and one of a kind digital items.
You will visit a website that has an NFT minting platform; you will connect your wallet and then be able to buy the NFT.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help launch my NFT collection?
Yes we specialise in launching NFT collections in the world of digital assets and NFT marketplaces. Web 3.0 and NFTs can be overwhelming but Cude Design will break it down for you. We’ll help you build your own NFT market where customers can mint your NFT collection by connecting their digital wallets.
We offer full NFT development services so your collection is fully utilised and integrated with the digital assets ecosystem.
How do I create an NFT?
Creating an NFT or non-fungible token is easy especially for digital collectables. Start by selecting your item—text, music, video or digital painting—that can be converted into a multimedia file. Decide what you want to showcase in your collection then choose an NFT marketplace to list and sell your digital assets.
Popular NFT token platforms are Rarible, OpenSea and Nifty Gateway. For beginners we recommend OpenSea for its user friendly interface and no cost entry so you can mint your first NFT and get into the world of digital collectables.
Can you help with smart contract auditing?
NFT smart contract development can be complex; sometimes a third party needs to audit the developed smart contract. NFT marketplace development by Cude Design uses industry standard, audited & verified code when building your NFT platform and associated smart contracts.
By working with OpenZeppelin and ThirdWeb we can build NFT platforms with proven smart contract functionality to safely launch NFT projects. We are the leading NFT development company in the UK.
Should I use Ethereum or Solana to sell my NFTs?
Ethereum and Solana are both solid blockchain networks but Solana is faster and cheaper and Ethereum has a more established and larger DeFi ecosystem. Choosing the right blockchain for NFTs can be tough but Ethereum’s longevity in the space gives it a big advantage in adoption and reliability.
As your NFT development agency we usually work with Ethereum.
Do you offer community management?
In the NFT space community management is key to building and growing online communities around NFT services and projects. This involves moderating forums, managing social media, creating content to attract and retain potential and existing customers.
We don’t currently offer community management for NFT or Blockchain projects but we understand how important community engagement is. We have partnered with an NFT marketing agency to cover this need.
This partnership allows us to offer full support so our clients can access expert community management services to grow their projects in the NFT space.
What should I know about NFT minting cost?
- What is NFT minting cost? NFT minting cost is the fees associated with creating a new Non-Fungible Token (NFT) on a blockchain. This cost is mainly the “gas fees” on blockchains like Ethereum but can also include additional fees from the platform or service you’re using to mint the NFT.
- What affects the cost of minting an NFT?
- Gas Prices: On the Ethereum network the cost is driven by gas prices which fluctuate based on network demand. High demand for transactions increases gas prices.
- NFT complexity: More complex NFTs like those with additional code or interactivity will cost more to mint.
- Platform Fees: Some NFT marketplaces or platforms may charge a service fee for minting or listing an NFT.
- Why do gas prices fluctuate? Gas prices fluctuate based on supply (how many miners are available to validate transactions) and demand (how many people want their transactions processed). Major NFT drops or other big Ethereum network events can cause gas price spikes.
- How do I check current gas prices? Websites like Etherscan or ETH Gas Station show real-time gas prices on the Ethereum network.
- Can I reduce minting costs?
- Timing: Mint your NFT during times of lower network congestion and you’ll get lower gas fees.
- Layer 2 Solutions: Some platforms use Layer 2 scaling solutions like Polygon (Matic) or xDai which have cheaper minting costs than Ethereum’s mainnet.
- Alternative Blockchains: Mint on other blockchains like Binance Smart Chain or Flow which have lower fees.
- Do I have to pay every time I sell or transfer my NFT?
Yes, every time an NFT is sold or transferred it’s a blockchain transaction which incurs a fee. But this fee is different from the minting fee and is usually paid by the buyer or the person transferring the NFT. - What if I don’t have enough to cover the minting cost?
The transaction won’t go through if you don’t have enough funds (e.g., ETH on the Ethereum network) to cover the minting cost. You’ll need to add more funds to your wallet to proceed. - Are minting costs refunded if I burn my NFT?
No. Never. 😒️👎
