How To Mint Cashtokens NFTs

In case you missed it, Web3 is now live, on-chain, on Bitcoin Cash. Non-custodian, uncensorable, unbreakable, unparalleled. Cashtokens is live since May 15th enabling UTXO NFTs. Since CashTokens is a recent upgrade, developers will require time to experiment and develop the absolute user experience. However, it will not take long before we find plenty of platforms and options available. Already several NFT collections are getting ready to launch. **Paytaca** offers the method to mint CashTokens NFTs and interact with websites integrating Cashtokens *Web3* capabilities. Without further ado, here’s how to mint CashTokens NFTs.

PAYTACA BROWSER WALLET (Chrome Extension)

We need the Paytaca extension, version 0.15.1 from Chrome’s Web Store: *Paytaca Chrome Extension* https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/paytaca/pakphhpnneopheifihmjcjnbdbhaaiaa/related After installing Paytaca on Chrome, open the *Extensions* tab

and pin the extension on your Chrome browser by clicking on the pin button:

Paytaca will ask us if we want to ***Create a New Wallet*** or ***Restore from Seed Phrase***.

We can import any seed phrase we use. New users have to create a new wallet, and locate the private key and seed phrase and write them down. The path to extract the seed phrase from the extension is: ***Apps->Wallet Info -> Scroll down to Mnemonic Backup Phrase*** Paytaca is a self-custody wallet. It is not holding our private keys but provides full access to the user. Setup a pin to your wallet:

The pin is necessary, so don't skip this part. If you accidentally skipped setting a pin, we can add from within the app any time using the path Apps->Settings->Pin. Paytaca asks for pin when signing transactions. I imported a seed phrase, and my wallet and funds appeared:

You are ready now to mint NFTs and connect to any Web3 website supporting CashTokens. Example (*connecting Paytaca to BitCats Heroes*):

Funding a Bitcoin Cash address is instant and cheap, with fees lower than $0,01. Bitcoin Cash is listed in all cryptocurrency exchanges, even on PayPal and Venmo. It is easy to purchase and withdraw to a non-custodial (self-custodial) wallet and experience how cryptocurrency is meant to be. Here is a guide on how to buy Bitcoin Cash using the Kraken Exchange: ***How To Buy Bitcoin Cash ($BCH) On Kraken Exchange*** https://medium.com/the-crypto-kiosk/how-to-buy-bitcoin-cash-bch-on-kraken-exchange-75217170a7c9 Consolidate UTXOs with Emerald DAO!

We've explored Emerald DAO previously here: ***Emerald DAO: Exploring The First CashTokens DAO and NFT!*** https://read.cash/@Pantera/emerald-dao-exploring-the-first-cashtokens-dao-and-nft-4ada4fef Emerald DAO also offers a useful tool to consolidate Unspent Transaction Outputs and allow us to use our "change in our wallets".

In Conclusion Web3 is now on-chain on Bitcoin Cash, the most reliable, secure, and fast blockchain, delivering high transaction speed with low fees. With CashTokens, Bitcoin Cash competes directly with Ethereum's smart contracts. The first few developments seem promising. Platforms are the future of cryptocurrencies and CashTokens bring smart-contract capabilities (tokenization, NFTs, DeFi) into a blockchain recognized for scalability, innovation, and focus on the user experience. Bitcoin Cash becomes Metaverse-ready with Cashtokens. I will update this article as soon as more options for minting NFTs appear.

I would try the minting cause I went offline for a long period of time I guessed I missed the project, checking it out on tg and is paytaca wallet more better than metamask?

  You can't use Metamask as it doesn't work with Bitcoin Cash. Paytaca only right now, but there will be more soon.
