Hey folks....

Today we'll be talking about NFTs. I was learning blockchain & I came towards a topic named non-fungible token. The topic of NFTs attracted my mind. I started having so many ideas where the NFTs can be used.

To implement my ideas, I started researching about NFTs, it's structure & it's existing usage in real world. NFT is simply decentralized conversion of digital images.

Digital Graphics are converted into the tokens which in turn are given for sale on the NFT marketplaces where interested clients come and buy them. 

There are many ways for creating, converting & selling non-fungible tokens on marketplaces. The most common way to create the NFT is to use Metamask plugin in google chrome.

Metamask :-
The most known platform for the NFT trading is metamask. It can be used as a plugin in google chrome browsers. It allows the users an option for directly buying or selling their NFT projects on marketplace. The only con in metamask is that it requires the gas fees for processing the NFT orders.

I am new to NFTs and I didn't wanted to risk my money in a platform which I didn't know that well. To avoid the financial risk, I came up with the another research which does not require the new users to pay any amount for converting and selling their images on the NFT marketplace. 

Follow below given steps for creating & selling your first NFT for free of cost:-

1. Arkane
