Cardano NFTs

Modified on Mon, 19 Feb 2024 at 12:54 PM

You can send and receive Cardano NFTs on your BC Vault since Cardano NFTs are not much different than any other Cardano Token (with exception that there is always the total value of 1).


Receiving Cardano NFT to your BC Vault

Simply copy the Cardano wallet address and send your NFTs to the BC Vault as if you are sending the Cardano coins (ADA). There is no difference.


Now you will have to create definition of the NFT as a Cardano Custom Token so you will be able to see it and eventually send it out.


Use Cardano Explorer (as cardanoscan.io) to view your NFT that is now sitting in your BC Vault wallet and write down Policy ID and Asset Name in number format. Then you will use both of the parameters to create new custom Cardano NFT.


Fo example here we can see Cardano NFT sitting in a wallet:

Wallet Address: addr1q95fx........3t45ep


Containing NFT named "BabyTiger1828"


Click on the NFT and you will see the details about it, where you can notice the two required parameters:


Policy Id: 4d8f2f3b1d06d486f9bf30047ed394faac19dd5dae9d63d8ba5b739e

Asset Name in number format: 42616279546967657231383238


On some sites you will also see Asset ID, which is actually combination of the above in one string and all we need below: "4d8f2f3b1d06d486f9bf30047ed394faac19dd5dae9d63d8ba5b739e42616279546967657231383238".


Now add Custom Cardano token in the BC Vault application where you combine the above Policy Id and Asset Name in one string (Assed ID) under Token Address. Use "0" for decimal places (as NFTs do not have decimals):


Now you will see you hold 1 Tiger in the wallet:



Sending Cardano NFT from your BC Vault

Once you created the definition for the custom token (as stated above) you can simply send your Cardano NFT as you would be sending any other coins with exception that amount is always "1" (as NFTs always have to be sent whole).
