Creating your own NFTs has never been easier. The OKX NFT marketplace empowers artists, creators, and digital enthusiasts to mint, manage, and showcase unique digital assets across multiple blockchains—including Ethereum, Polygon, OKC, and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Whether you're uploading original artwork or generating stunning AI-powered visuals, OKX offers a seamless, cost-effective way to bring your ideas to life. And the best part? You can mint NFTs for free using lazy minting.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know about creating NFTs on OKX—step by step—so you can start building your digital footprint with confidence.
Getting Started: Set Up Your OKX Wallet
Before you can create an NFT, you’ll need a compatible wallet. The OKX Wallet is your gateway to the Web3 world, supporting NFT creation, trading, and blockchain interactions across 100+ networks.
👉 Start your NFT journey today—connect your wallet and explore the marketplace.
You can download the OKX Wallet as:
- A mobile app (iOS or Android)
- A browser extension (for desktop use)
Once installed, follow the setup instructions to create your wallet. Be sure to:
- Securely back up your recovery phrase
- Set a strong password
- Never share your private keys
Since OKX supports free minting via lazy minting, you don’t need to deposit funds unless you plan to buy or trade existing NFTs. This makes it ideal for first-time creators who want to test the waters without upfront costs.
How to Mint an NFT on OKX: Step-by-Step
Ready to turn your digital creation into a one-of-a-kind NFT? Follow these simple steps:
1. Connect Your Wallet to the OKX NFT Marketplace
Open the OKX Wallet and navigate to the NFT Marketplace. Tap “Connect” to link your wallet. Once connected, you’ll have full access to creation and trading features.
2. Choose Your Creation Method
On the “Create” page, you’ll see two options:
- Upload your artwork
- Generate AI artwork
Select the one that fits your creative vision.
3. Upload Your Digital Asset
If you’re using original content:
- Click Upload your artwork
- Support formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, MP3 (up to 100MB per file)
- Add a title, description, and relevant properties (e.g., edition number, traits)
Ensure your file meets quality standards—this enhances visibility and appeal in the marketplace.
4. Select Your Blockchain
OKX allows you to mint on multiple chains:
- OKC (OKX Chain)
- Ethereum
- Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
- Polygon
Each network has different transaction speeds and gas fee structures. For free minting, lazy minting is enabled by default—meaning fees are only paid when the NFT is sold.
5. Customize Minting Options
Toggle on:
- Lazy minting – Mint for free; buyer covers gas fees upon purchase
- Mint multiple tokens – Create limited editions or open editions of your work
This flexibility lets you experiment with scarcity and pricing models.
6. Finalize and Sign
Review all details carefully. Then, sign the transaction through your wallet to complete the process.
Within moments, your NFT will be live—and visible in your wallet’s asset library.
How to Generate an AI Art NFT on OKX
Don’t have digital art ready? No problem. OKX partners with advanced AI tools to let you generate eye-catching artwork directly within the platform.
Here’s how:
1. Connect Your Wallet and Access the NFT Marketplace
Same as above—start by linking your OKX Wallet.
2. Choose “Generate AI Artwork”
Instead of uploading, select this option to launch the AI generator.
3. Describe Your Vision
Use natural language to describe what you want. Examples:
- “A cyberpunk cat wearing neon sunglasses”
- “A serene mountain landscape at sunrise in watercolor style”
- “An anime warrior riding a dragon over a futuristic city”
Be imaginative—the more detail, the better the output.
4. Pick an Art Style
Choose from a wide range of styles:
- Anime
- Pixel Art
- Watercolor
- Illustrative
- Festive
- Surrealism
- Cyberpunk
- And more
Each style transforms your prompt into a unique visual interpretation.
5. (Optional) Add a Reference Image
Upload a JPEG, PNG, or JPG image to guide the AI toward a specific look or composition. This helps refine results if you have a clear vision.
6. Generate and Refine
Click “Generate” and wait a few seconds. If you’re not satisfied:
- Click “Generate again” for new variations
- Adjust your text prompt for better alignment
Once happy, proceed to minting.

Just like with uploaded art:
- Add a title and description
