Introduction | Minting API

Using Crossmint's Minting API, you can create and deliver an NFT to a user in a single REST request. You pay per NFT with FIAT (charged by card), and can deliver them to anyone. Even if the receiver doesn't have any cryptocurrency or a crypto wallet.

How it Works

Under the hood, the Crossmint Minting API:

1. Deploys an NFT smart contract (using one of the supported blockchains)
2. Handles all cryptocurrency payments so you only need to pay in fiat with card or ACH
3. Validates, uploads, and pins your NFT metadata and media assets (images, videos, 3d assets, etc) to decentralized permanent storage
4. Mints the NFT
5. Deposits the NFT in a user wallet by either:
   1. Sending NFT to an existing crypto wallet via their public key, or
   2. Sending the NFT to an email address (via a custodial wallet Crossmint creates on the user's behalf)
