Cardano NFT Minting
We build production-grade NFT minting applications on Cardano — from smart contract validators to polished minting UIs with wallet integration, IPFS storage, and CIP-721 metadata.
What We Deliver
Aiken Validators
Custom minting policies with on-chain validation, edition limits, and royalty enforcement using Plutus V3.
CIP-721 Metadata
Compliant metadata schemas with deterministic asset naming, trait support, and proper IPFS linking.
IPFS Storage
Media upload pipeline with IPFS pinning for permanent, decentralized storage of NFT images and assets.
Minting UI
User-friendly minting interface with wallet connection, preview, progress feedback, and error handling.
Edition Support
Both 1/1 unique pieces and numbered editions with sequential tracking and supply management.
Gallery (Optional)
Read-only gallery view of minted NFTs, browsable without wallet connection.
Our Process
Spec the mint flow + metadata
Define metadata schema, edition types, and user flow requirements.
On-chain rules in Aiken
Write and test minting validators using Aiken for Plutus V3.
Off-chain tx builder
Build typed transaction constructors with Lucid Evolution.
IPFS + CIP-721 wiring
Upload media, generate compliant metadata, and link to transactions.
Testnet QA
Test wallet providers, edge cases, and transaction scenarios.
Mainnet launch + support
Deploy to mainnet with monitoring and ongoing support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do users need crypto knowledge to mint?
No. Users connect their wallet, upload media, and click mint. The app handles all blockchain complexity.
Where do NFT images live?
Images are uploaded to IPFS and pinned for long-term availability. The IPFS hash is stored on-chain in the CIP-721 metadata.
Editions vs 1/1?
Both are supported. 1/1 NFTs are unique single-edition pieces. Editions allow multiple copies with sequential numbering.
Testnet first?
Always. We deploy and test on Cardano testnet before any mainnet deployment to catch edge cases.
Can we add a gallery later?
Yes. The gallery is an optional add-on that provides a read-only view of minted NFTs without requiring wallet connections.
