What Even is a (Non)-Fungible Token?

In Cardano, tokens have both a policy identifier and a name. When minting using any service provider on Cardano, you will need to specify a unique name in order for your newly created token to be a "true" NFT. If you use a quantity greater than 1 when minting, or you reuse the same asset name in the same collection, your token will be deemed a "fungible token".

If you mess up any portion of minting below be sure to save your keys and visit the burn service tool so that you can burn the incorrectly created asset (note asset must remain in wallet while being burned).
