==Minting and Transferring Items==

Almost any item in the game can be minted into an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token NFT] and put into your TON wallet to be sold or handed over. And any NFT from GLOBULA blockchain can be transferred back into the game.

Practically any component, resource, weapon, blueprint, tool or battery can be NFT'd or turned back into playable objects, apart from the first items given at the registration as a basic starter kit.

In order to be able to create and transfer NFTs you must have a [[Registration in the Globula app#How to create a TON wallet?|TON wallet]] bound and connected to your account.

Open the required inventory tab and long tap an object you want to NFT.

Tap [[Mint]] to open your TON wallet and confirm the minting (costs 0.02 TON).
If you are using the login-password method for the app, you would also need to connect a TON wallet to perform any of the minting operations. Make sure you connect the same TON wallet that has been bound to your account.

The transaction may take up to 5 minutes. Once it's finished, you will see your NFT'd item back in its designated inventory tab but with a special chain icon on the right. The NFT itself will be placed into your TON wallet collection.

''You can create a unified (bulk) NFT containing several identical items at once! For example, you own 1000 components or blueprints of the same item. You can choose any quality of identical items when creating an NFT. Thus, a single NFT can be turned back into multiple playable items.''

NFTs can't be used directly in the game. These objects are for trading and handing over only, but can be turned back into playable items if required.
