How to Sell Digital Art on the Tezos Blockchain: A Step-by-Step Guide with Everything You Need to Know to Get Started

👋 This step-by-step guide will show you how to sell digital art on the Tezos blockchain.

Tezos is the perfect blockchain for NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and offers an incredible digital art community, along with multiple NFT art marketplaces to choose from.

👉 This tutorial is aimed at artists looking to sell their first digital artwork on the Tezos blockchain without the need to understand platform-specific jargon or intricacies.

Simply follow each step to get started hassle-free.

Preparations

Here are the four things you need:

Tezos Wallet Address
Tezos Coin
Tezos NFT Art Marketplace
Digital Artwork

1. Tezos Wallet Address

A digital wallet holds your Tezos coins (also called xtz or tez) and digital art (aka NFTs). The easiest way is to get a Tezos wallet address by using the free Kukai web wallet with social login.

Steps:

Go to wallet.kukai.app.
Log in with your Twitter, Google, Reddit or Facebook account.
Done. 🥳 You now own a Tezos wallet address. 👍

2. Tezos Coin

You'll need a fraction of a Tezos coin to pay for transactions fees. Good news: you can get it for free at the Teia.art Fountain. ⛲

Steps:

Open this form
Go to wallet.kukai.app and copy your Tezos address on the top right. It looks like this: tz2x55DBmYqBHXZNeSMNxZjXjvAsMaNjXtsY
Paste the address into the form and add your Discord username and Social Media Post Link
Done! 👍

3. Tezos NFT Art Marketplace

Here are the most popular NFT art marketplaces on Tezos where you can sell various forms of digital art:

For this tutorial, we will use the community-driven teia.art marketplace.

4. Digital Artwork

Create a digital artwork that you would like to sell or give away for free. It can be any of these types:

Graphic
Audio
Video
Interactive

Animation

Teia.art supports the following file types: flac, gif, glb, directory, jpeg, md, mp3, mp4, pdf, png, svg, wav, webm, html (zip archive)

Enter a short description (e.g., "Your Name, Year").

Upload your file (also called Objkt or Artifact).
Click Submit.
Check the preview.
Click Mint.
Open wallet.kukai.app and click Approve.
Done. 👍 Your artwork is on the Tezos blockchain now. 🙌

Note: It may take a few minutes for your listing to appear on your teia.art profile. Simply refresh the creations tab.

Pricing Steps:

Setting up a digital artwork for sale is called 'swapping'.

Go to Teia.art.
Select Assets from the menu on the top right.
Click the artwork.
Click Swap.
OBJKT quantity: 1.
Price per OBJKT: 1.
Click Swap.
Open wallet.kukai.app and click Approve.
