NFT Minting System on Cardano Blockchain

Abstract

Nowadays almost everything is digitalized and online. This can cause many security issues for our data. They can be leaked, misused, or even compromised. Therefore, we need technology, which can secure digital assets. The solution to this problem can be blockchain technology and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT). This article presents our open-source implementation of an automated NFT minting system on the Cardano blockchain. We research the capabilities of NFTs on Cardano and possibilities to create an NFT minting system similar to other successful but proprietary NFT minting systems. Our system is built on Cardano command-line interface commands in combination with Python language for easy handling of the minting process.
