How to Mint and Earn with your own NFTs on Polygon

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have been a hot topic for a while now. Many NFT artists and collectors are looking for the next great NFT project to invest in or a better NFT marketplace to create and sell their NFTs. Before minting an NFT, it is important to choose a viable platform. There are several NFT marketplaces out there, including those that offer free minting options while dramatically increasing the speed of transactions. The Polygon NFT marketplace is one of them.

If this is the first time you've heard of Polygon (MATIC), we recommend you check out our previous article to learn what is Polygon.
