With an explanation attached at the end.
Here’s an updated guide for creating and minting ERC-721 NFTs on the Sepolia test network, where users can directly mint NFTs from your page. This guide also includes how to add the Sepolia test network to your wallet, claim test tokens, and view or trade your NFTs on a testnet marketplace like OpenSea.
​
Step 1: Add Sepolia Test Network to MetaMask
To interact with the Sepolia test network using MetaMask, you'll first need to add the Sepolia network manually.
-
Open MetaMask and go to your wallet.
-
Click the network dropdown at the top (where you see "Ethereum Mainnet").
-
Scroll down and switch on "Show test networks".
​
Step 2: Get Sepolia Test ETH
To deploy your contract or mint NFTs, you'll need Sepolia test ETH (the test version of ETH).
-
Visit a Sepolia faucet, such as:​
-
Enter your wallet address (the one connected to MetaMask) and click Request Funds.
After a few moments, you should see test ETH appear in your Sepolia account on MetaMask.
​
Step 3: Mint NFTs Directly from This Page
After connecting your wallet and obtaining Sepolia test ETH, you can mint NFTs directly from this page by clicking the Mint button.
-
Ensure that your MetaMask wallet is connected and switched to the Sepolia test network.
-
Click the Mint button provided on the page.
-
Confirm the transaction in MetaMask.
-
Wait for the transaction to complete, and the NFT will be minted to your wallet.
​
Step 4: View or Trade NFTs on OpenSea (Testnet)
After minting your NFTs, you can view or trade them on testnet NFT marketplaces like OpenSea's Sepolia testnet platform.
-
Visit Testnet OpenSea and connect your MetaMask wallet (make sure it's still set to the Sepolia network).
-
Search for your minted NFTs under Profile or by the contract address.
-
You can also list your NFTs for sale or send them to others, just like on the Ethereum mainnet.
By following these steps, you can easily mint NFTs on Sepolia, test them out without spending real ETH, and experience the trading process on a testnet marketplace before moving to the Ethereum mainnet!
