Create Token-type (NFT template)

This page explains how to create an NFT template (token-type).

This endpoint allows you to create an NFT template which you can use to mint NFTs from. A more technical representation of the template is the token type.

This means you just have to define the NFT template once with parameters like its name, image, and description. Using this token-type you can mint multiple NFTs.
