How an XRPL NFT Is Minted

Follow NFTokenMint fields, flags, URI data, fees, and the resulting ledger object.

SIMPLE EXPLANATION

Definition and scope

How an XRPL NFT Is Minted addresses a distinct part of non-fungible tokens. Follow NFTokenMint fields, flags, URI data, fees, and the resulting ledger object.

XRPL NFTs are protocol-native ledger objects rather than smart-contract records. This collection follows an NFToken from its identifier and mint settings through custody, offers, transfers, brokered sales, royalties, storage pages, and destruction. An on-ledger token records protocol ownership and identifiers; off-ledger media, licensing, authenticity, and marketplace claims require separate evidence.

TECHNICAL DEPTH

How it works

NFTokenMint creates a token with TokenTaxon, optional URI, flags, and transfer fee. The validated metadata reports affected NFTokenPage entries and allows software to identify the newly minted NFTokenID.

  • NFTokenMint: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
  • NFTokenTaxon: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
  • URI: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
  • Flags: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
  • TransferFee: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Practical example and checks

On Testnet, prepare hex-encoded URI bytes, choose transferability and burn flags deliberately, set a valid transfer fee if applicable, mint, and derive the token ID from metadata before advertising it.

For production use, preserve the exact signed or queried data, record the network and validated ledger reference, and compare the result with the current primary documentation before changing off-ledger state.

Limits, risks, and common confusion

Flags and royalty settings can be difficult or impossible to change after minting. Never treat an accepted submission as proof of minting until the transaction is validated.

An on-ledger token records protocol ownership and identifiers; off-ledger media, licensing, authenticity, and marketplace claims require separate evidence.

Current network status

Enabled on XRPL Mainnet. NonFungibleTokensV1_1 was enabled on XRPL Mainnet in feature responses from both official public servers at review time. Client and service support can still vary.

Status reviewed 2026-08-23. Amendment-dependent behavior must be rechecked against the network's live feature state before operational use.
