How It Works — From Certification to NFT Minting

Step 1 — Get MetaMask

To mint your NFT accreditation, you’ll need a wallet. We recommend MetaMask, a trusted browser extension and mobile wallet used by millions.

1. Visit metamask.io and download the browser extension.
2. Create a wallet and write down your secret recovery phrase. **Never share it!**
3. Add a strong password and confirm setup.

Step 2 — Add $ACC Token to MetaMask

After setting up MetaMask, click “Import Token” and use this contract address:

Token Symbol: ACC Decimals: 18

You may also need to add funds to cover gas (Polygon MATIC) via Polygon Bridge or exchanges like Coinbase.

Step 3 — Certify Your Work

If you’re an author, musician, artist, or developer — it’s wise to certify your work first. These are usually free or low-cost, and some are legally required.
See our Certification Guide to register your ISBN, ISSN, STIM, IFPI and more in your country.

Step 4 — Register for NFT Accreditation

Fill out our form at Apply for Creditation with your name, work title, active years, and wallet address.

After submitting, your metadata will be created automatically and made ready for minting.

Step 5 — Mint Your NFT

Go to Mint Page and connect your MetaMask wallet.

1. Click “Connect Wallet” (MetaMask will prompt you)
2. Approve the minting transaction (includes a small gas fee and 2 SEK in ACC)
3. Your NFT is stored on-chain and visible in our gallery.

Step 6 — Download Your Diploma

If your wallet matches the one used during application, the diploma download button will appear on your NFT in the gallery. Click it to download your certificate as PDF.

Security Tips

• Never share your MetaMask seed phrase or private keys.
• We will never ask for your login credentials or wallet access.
• Back up your phrase somewhere secure (offline).
• Use strong, unique passwords for MetaMask and email.
• If you lose access to your wallet, we cannot retrieve your NFT.
