How to Mint Your NFT Certificate After a Successful Crowdfunding Campaign

What is an NFT Certificate?

After a crowdfunding project succeeds, you can get a special digital certificate as an NFT (Non-Fungible Token). This NFT is like a permanent digital badge that shows you supported the project. It's stored on the blockchain, so it's secure and can't be changed or lost easily.

How to Get to Your Certificate Page

1. Once the project you've backed is fully funded and completed, look for a certificate link in your profile page.
2. Click the certificate icon link to open your certificate details page.

What You Can Do on the Certificate Page

View Your Certificate

• In the middle of the page, you'll see your certificate image. It includes:
  • Your name
  • The amount you donated (if you choose to show it)
  • The project name and description
  • The project creator's name
  • A unique donation number

Choose to Show Your Donation Amount

• If you're just previewing, you can decide whether to include your donation amount on the certificate.
• Click the checkbox to toggle this on or off.

Mint Your NFT Certificate

Before You Start

• The project must be fully completed.
• You need to have made a valid donation.
• Make sure your crypto wallet is connected and has enough funds for the transaction fee (called "gas").

Steps to Mint

1. Click the "Mint now" button.
2. A popup window will appear with the minting details.
3. Review the information:
   • The smart contract address (this is just the technical location)
   • The blockchain network (usually something like Ethereum testnet)
   • Your certificate image link
4. Connect your wallet if you haven't already.
5. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
6. Wait for the blockchain to process it – your NFT will then be in your wallet!

If You've Already Minted Your Certificate

Download Your Certificate

• Click "Download Certificate" to save a high-quality PNG image of your certificate.
• The file will be named something like certificate-projectname-yourdonationnumber.png.

Share Your Certificate

• Share your achievement on social media! Click the icons for Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.
• The system will help you post about your support for the project.

Important Things to Know

1. Minting costs a small transaction fee (gas) in cryptocurrency. Make sure your wallet has enough ETH or the native coin for the network.
2. Once minted, your NFT certificate is forever on the blockchain – it can't be edited or deleted.
3. The downloaded certificate image is just a picture you can save offline.
4. Sharing works through the social media platforms' own systems.
