Posted on 2024-08-09 Updated on 2025-09-13

A b-Book, b-Song, and b-Video refer to a book, song, and video, respectively, that have been produced via blockchain technology.


A b-Book, b-Song, or b-Video is not the same as an e-Book, e-Song, or e-Video, which are electronic productions. Click here for more information: BLOCKCHAIN LITERATURE.


To produce a b-Book, b-Song, or b-Video on EdaFace Blockchain Literature (BCL) is a relatively straightforward process.


The following are the simple Fourteen (14) Steps that you can take to mint your video, song, book, or any document on EdaFace BCL:


Step 1: Register an EdaFace Account.

EdaFace Account is free.

Step 4: Click on the “Create” button.

Once you have connected your wallet to EdaFace BCL, click on the “Create” button to reveal the minting page.


Step 5: Select Books, Songs, or Videos, depending on what you want to produce.

Note that Book minting also applies to documents, certificates, etc.


Step 6: Upload Digital Product

Upload the Digital Product (document, book, song, or movie) that you want to mint.

The recommended format and size of your files can be found here: Minting Format for BCL.


Step 7: Upload a Thumbnail

You need a background image for your book, song, or movie. This background image is called a Thumbnail (or simply Thumb).

For more on the Thumbnail file, please click here: Minting Format for BCL.


Step 8: Preview

EdaFace BCL allows you to preview the uploaded product by simply clicking on “Preview” or “View.”


Step 9: Confirm Network Selection

Network refers to the blockchain network you are minting on. Therefore, confirm the blockchain network selection.


Step 10: Fill in File Details

Fill in the nine details of the book, song, or video you want to mint, which are:


(a). Name

Note that the Name shouldn’t be too long, but something short and memorable for your targeted audience.


(b). Brief description.

Brief Description refers to what you want your book, song, or movie to be remembered for or associated with, e.g. it can be a description of why you created and minted the product.


EdaFace BCL does not restrict the length of the description. However, the industry standard is that the description should be less than thirty-five (35) words.


(c). Create a Collection Folder

EdaFace NFT Marketplace is designed in such a way that you can collect all your blockchain products in one folder. You do this by clicking on “Select Collection” and filling in the parameters as requested on the screen.


(d). Category

Select the BCL category you want to mint.


(e). Royalty

Decide how much you should charge for royalties. For upcoming creators, as a promotion tactic, you may want to keep your royalty fee at 0%, meaning no royalty charges as an advertisement strategy.


(f). Lazy Minting

Confirm if you are Lazy Minting or not.

(g). Quantity

Type in the number of copies of the b-book, b-song, or b-video you want to mint. The maximum per print is ten million copies.


(h). Whitelist Users

This refers to whether you want some specific wallets to be pre-approved to acquire your product. You can insert these wallets at the specified places.

Whitelisting is especially good for airdrop. See EDAFACE NFT AIRDROPS.


(i). Website and Social Media Links

For advertisement purposes, you may choose to link your product to your website, social media platforms, portfolio link, etc., by typing in the links.


Step 11: Decide on Listing

When minting, you may choose one of the two options available for the display of your product:


(a). You may choose to leave the product in your EdaFace Account portfolio or transfer it to your wallet. In either of these two cases, only you will be able to see your minted b-book, b-song, or b-video. If you choose this option, you can later still display your product on the arena of EdaFace BCL.


(b). You may choose to display the minted product at once, possibly for sale, on the EdaFace BCL. If you choose this, you can later decide to withdraw your product from the arena.


If you want to put on sale the minted product by displaying it on the arena of EdaFace BCL for potential buyers to see, then enable “List NFT.”


Once you’ve enabled the List NFT, you will need to decide whether to "Put on Sale," in which case you will type in the price.


Step 12: Check the agreement boxes

EdaFace fights against any form of scams, including plagiarism. Therefore, read through the Terms and Conditions, and if you accept them, check the appropriate boxes that read:


● I declare that this is an original work. I understand that no plagiarism is allowed and that the asset can be removed anytime if detected.


● I have read and agree to all the NFT Terms & Conditions and all legal requirements of EDA.


Step 13: Create Item

When you have filled in all the parameters and accepted the Terms and Conditions, click on “Create Item.”


Once you have done so, a page will pop up for you to click on 2 or 3 different buttons as follows:


• Create NFT

Clicking on this button will make the connected wallet, via its Private Key, be authenticated as the owner of the uploaded Digital Product while simultaneously triggering blockchain smart contracts to add more unique identifiers to the product, thus producing a unique, verifiable asset.


• IPFS Upload

IPFS refers to the InterPlanetary File System, and it is where your product files will be stored for easy access. By clicking on this button, you will be uploading the metadata of your product to IPFS.


Step 14: Mint NFT

This button allows you to mint the uploaded Digital Product in PDF or NFT card formats on the selected blockchain.

Congratulations on minting your b-book, b-song, or b-video.


Please Note:

(a). To view your minted product, click on “My Items” in your EdaFace account. “My Items” is accessible once your wallet is connected; you can access it by clicking on the wallet icon at the top right of your EdaFace Account.


(b). If you have selected List NFT, you can go to EdaFace BCL arena – Book, Song, or Video arena, depending on which category you have selected in Step 10 (d) above – to view your minted product displayed for sale.
