KleverChain presents itself as an accessible and easy-to-use public blockchain to build web3 solutions for your project.
With KleverChain support, you can develop inside your project your own token, your own NFT, your own Marketplace and so much more.
All of this is possible through the Klever KApps (pre-built applications upon which developers can create their own projects).
All of that sounds awesome in theory, but how about practice?
Well, let’s check it out – today, we’ll talk about creating your own NFT and/or Marketplace with the KleverChain.
Why build an NFT project?
It’s been a buzz since people started to get the notion of the power of non-fungible tokens.
As we all know, more than a jpeg or a gif (or anything digital format, really), NFTs can take anything that a creator puts his/her efforts and creativity into and transform it to something unique and exclusive, where the money goes directly to them, without having to rely on third parties.
Moreover, NFTs are making a whole new world of digital consumption, where NFTs also can mean utility, from the participation inside a web3 project to a cool asset inside a play-to-earn game experience.
It might have started with unknown projects and creators, but now NFTs are the new hype even between great entertainment moguls.
To name a few, we can mention the most recent Warner Brothers’ moves with the Lord of the Rings NFTs and the promise for Game of Thrones’ as well; Visa creating partnerships to develop World Cup NFTs; and many more projects that are being announced almost daily on the internet.
To sum up, NFTs can help you by helping you to develop a community around your project or just offer you fairer trades for your creative work.
Regardless of what use you will give to it, you should definitely consider creating NFTs if you want your ideas to be inserted, directly or indirectly, into the web3 world.
How to create an NFT in KleverChain?
First of all, it’ll depend on your level of technical knowledge.
If you are a developer or a creator with a little more knowledge of programming, we’ll have just the docs for you to dig in – nice and easy.
However, we are going to focus on our everyday end user that might feel that creating NFTs is something beyond their reach.
Well, it’s not. Let us show you how:
1. For the end user
First and foremost, in order to make all the processes easier and with a smoother flow, the Klever Explorer is necessary for you to build with the KleverChain.
Let’s take a look at the step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Klever Explorer and Klever Extension
Create an account with Klever Wallet, then connect it with Klever Explorer.

Step 3: It’s time to bake!
Create your Asset. Select the one you want by clicking on it.
Then, fill the form with information about your NFT such as:
- Name;
- Owner Address – the wallet address of the asset ‘s “owner”. It can be a wallet of one single person, but, usually for bigger projects where the decisions are taken in a group, a sharing wallet is utilized;
- Ticker – it’s the abbreviation of the name ‘token’. It’ll be used as an identifier most of the times (followed by an unique number);
- Max Supply – the maximum supply you wish for your NFT;
- Logo

Step 4: URLs
At the URLs section, you can upload important documents such as Whitepaper and other info’s about the project.
Step 5: Royalties
Right below the URLs, you have the Royalties section.
Fill up:
- Address: the address that is going to receive the royalties;
- Market Percentage: selling price percentage that will be used as fee;
- Market Fixed: fixed fee on the selling transactions in the Marketplace (e.g: 10 KLV per transaction);
- Transfer Fixed: fixed fee on transfer transactions of the collection NFTs.

Step 6: Roles
The defined addresses of the roles can have two types of permission in the collection:
Set ITO Prices: Permission to alter the ITO prices. For instance, an address controlled by a bot to implement the oracle system in the ITO of a token (e.g: track the TOKEN/USD variation and update the price based on that);
Mint: The address has permission to mint new NFTs directly. In this case, the owner can use an assistant account to mint NFTs for any purpose, such as giveaways, rewards, etc. The use case for this is broader and it can be used to the creator’s creativity.

Step 7: Define other Properties such as:
- Freeze – enable/disable staking
- Pause – enable/disable owner’s permission to pause the collection’s transfers
- Burn – enable/disable owner’s permission to burn tokens of the circulating pool
- Add roles – enable/disable owner’s permission to add assistants accounts (for minting and alteration of ITO’s prices)
- Wipe – enable/disable owner’s permission to burn tokens of a suspicious account
- Mint – enable/disable owner’s (and assistants’ accounts) permission to mint more tokens than the ones already created with the collection
- Change Owner – enable/disable owner’s permission to change the owner’s address

2. For Devs
Developers can utilize KleverChain’s Software Development Kit (SDK) in order to build their NFTs.
The useful links are:

Why build an NFT Marketplace?
An NFT Marketplace is another interesting tendency of the new web3 market.
If you have a project that aims to provide cool options of NFT purchasing for your customers, building an NFT Marketplace can be a good idea.
This is the place where NFT enthusiasts meet to buy and sell in a secondary moment after the mint.
And with the success of the NFT market worldwide, more people are looking for NFT Marketplaces where they feel their transactions will be safe and without abusive or over-the-top fees that can actually discourage anyone who wishes to enter this segment.
How to create an NFT Marketplace in KleverChain?
The essence of creating an NFT Marketplace in KleverChain is pretty much the same as creating an NFT.
However, let’s recapitulate the beginning:
Step 1: Klever Explorer and Klever Extension
Create an account with Klever Explorer and then Connect Your Wallet with it through the Klever Extension.

Step 3: Create your NFT Marketplace

Creating orders in KleverChain
Once you have your NFT and/or Marketplace already done, you can also create orders inside the KleverChain easily.
Just create another transaction (similar as both guides above) and then define the required information for the sell:
- If is Auction mode or an Instant Sell;
- The Asset ID;
- The Marketplace ID;
- The Currency ID;
- The Price you wish to sell it for;
- The Reserve Price;
- The End time of the selling.
You can also check Advanced Options for more possibilities to sell.
