What is an NFT?

NFT Stands for "Non-fungible token". An NFT is a unique digital asset that exists on the Cardano blockchain as a native Cardano asset. An NFT can be sold, traded, or otherwise exchanged through a Cardano wallet.

How are NFT's created?

NFT's are created through a process known as minting. The minting process places all of the information associated with the NFT onto the Cardano blockchain and produces a native asset that will show up in your Cardano wallet.

What can an NFT consist of?

An NFT can contain any data that can be digitally represented, such as images, videos, written material, etc. In general the associated data, like an image, will be stored in a separate distributed file system. Our preferred file system is the IPFS to store the data, rather than directly on the Cardano blockchain.

How do I get started?

The process is simple!

  1. Select an image you want immortalized on the blockchain, and the associated data (location, date, owner, etc).
  2. Send an email to [email protected] with the details of your request.
  3. Once confirmed, payment can be sent using ADA, and we'll take care of the rest!

Services Available

The following ADA costs apply for NFT Services.

  • NFT Minting: 5₳ per NFT, minimum order of 25₳ (5 Free NFT's with your first order).
  • IPFS upload only, 5₳ per 100 files uploaded (10 Free IPFS uploads with your first order).

Giving Back

When we first started the CanadaStakes pool, it was our goal to use a portion of our rewards to give back to the community through both local and national charities. We have been extremely fortunate to have a growing community standing tall with us, and we're committed to share that fortune with those in need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform: the first to be founded on peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methods. It combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralized applications, systems, and societies.
Ouroboros is the proof-of-stake protocol used by Cardano. It distributes network control across stake pools: node operators with the infrastructure required to ensure a consistent and reliable connection to the network.
Stake pools, also known as node operators, run and maintain the infrastructure required to ensure a consistent and reliable connection to the network. For each slot, a stake pool is assigned as the slot leader, and is rewarded for adding a block to the chain.
ADA holders may delegate their stake to a specific stake pool, increasing its chance of being selected as the slot leader, and share in the stake pool's rewards.
ADA can be obtained through various virtual currency exchanges such as coinbase, binance, Huobi Global and Kraken.
ADA should be stored in an aproved ADA wallet such as Daedalus or Yoroi. To securely store your ADA offline, the use or a hardware wallet in combination with Daedalus or Yoroi will provide safe and secure cold storage of your ADA.
Delegation is done through the Daedalus or Yoroi wallets and requires a 2 ADA deposit and a minimum of 10 ADA remaining in the wallet.
