You might be wondering, can I make an NFT? Well, the answer is very simple – a big YES. Technically anyone can make a piece of art on their laptop or computer, turn it into an NFT, on the blockchain, and put it up for sale on the marketplace. Also, you can attach a commission to the file or your artwork, which means, that every time someone buys your artwork through a resale, you will get a commission you can choose the percentage of commissions, it can be a good passive income source.

But if you want to buy or sell NFTs, you need to have a wallet set up and in the wallet, you need to put some amount of cryptocurrency.
