Hello Everyone!!! I hope you are having a great time over there? It's really nice to see you visit my blog today and I must say I'm really happy to have a great personality like you visiting my blog today 😊. Thank you once again 😊💕

There's actually no doubt that Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) has become an ubiquitous conversation in the cryptocurrency space and according to some crypto analysts, NFTs will continue to remain relevant in the crypto space for as long as digital transaction continues to exist.

I've always been wanting to get a taste of Non Fungible Tokens most especially whenever I see people discussing about how they were able to make cool money just by creating, minting and trading Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on supported market place like OpenSea and other platforms. I already had a proper understanding about how NFTs works but it's also quite unfortunate that i couldn't implement or apply this this knowledge due to my lack of capital most especially when it comes to trading on popular NFT market place like Opensea which requires the use of Ethereum (i couldn't just afford that).

Thanks to LOOP


All thanks to LOOP DEX for the LOOP Rescue Airdrop distributed to the community via Juno Tools. You can also claim your LOOP Rescue Airdrop by following this guide. I was able to claim 62 USDC worth of LOOP tokens from the Loop Rescue Airdrop.

Another good news is that this same platform launched it's NFT market place last month including it's DEX, all on the Juno blockchain. Then the thought of exploring LOOP Reward NFTs and it market place came into my mind since i already have some available USDC and Juno tokens for transaction on the platform.

My Minting Journey


I decided to take a tour on Loop NFT marketplace and I came across different proposed collections of NFT projects including their launching (minting) dates and this was how i came about minting my first ever NFT known as Tradooors NFT.

Tradooors is an original pixel art collection celebrating the age of crypto traders, Anons, Interns, NFT collectors, and all-around degens pushing Web3 and crypto adoption while sitting behind their laptops in their bedrooms and basements. Bringing together unique utility and skill-based games for a fun, rewarding experience for all holders.

I got a notification from LOOP DEX about Tradoors minting announcement prior to it's launching date. I saw this as an opportunity to utilize the platform to experience what Defi NFT is all about and how such NFT works in the crypto space.
