<p>you just need :</p>
<ol>
<li>cardano CLI to mint NFT</li>
<li>cardano node to be connected with the rest of the network</li>
<li>Cardano wallet :) for payment address</li>
<li>blockfrost to find info about Cardano blockchain, in case of sales, you need to find the Address of the wallet, which paid for your NFT</li>
<li>IPFS for Storage decentralize solution</li>
<li>some ubuntu / programming / scripting knowledge, for automation sales machine :)</li>

<p>You don't need blockfrost, just learn the cardano-cli and you can make anything. <a href="https://developers.cardano.org/docs/native-tokens/minting-nfts/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.cardano.org/docs/native-tokens/minting-nfts/</a></p>
<p>Download the <a href="https://testnets.cardano.org/en/testnets/cardano/get-started/wallet/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Testnet version of Daedalus</a> and get <a href="https://testnets.cardano.org/en/testnets/cardano/tools/faucet/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tADA (Test ADA)</a> from the faucet and practice making them.</p>

<p>I see al lot of NFT projects where you can buy 1 or multiple NFT's for a certain price. Like unsigned_algorithms, CardanoTrees etc. I am curious how these projects are created without the use of smart contracts, is it something that can be done using Blockfrost?</p>

I am not an expert but I think you can't mint NFTs with Blockfrost and maybe never will.

You don't need blockfrost, just learn the cardano-cli and you can make anything. <https://developers.cardano.org/docs/native-tokens/minting-nfts/>

Download the [Testnet version of Daedalus](https://testnets.cardano.org/en/testnets/cardano/get-started/wallet/) and get [tADA (Test ADA)](https://testnets.cardano.org/en/testnets/cardano/tools/faucet/) from the faucet and practice making them.

I also recommend looking at nftmaker pro for quickly minting your own NFT collection. <https://www.nft-maker.io/>
