Use this tool to mint NFTs with existing Metadata CIDs into an existing Collection. If you've already generated your metadata using the Data Manager or any other tool, you can use those CID links directly to mint.

What you'll need
Before minting, you'll need to provide:
- Token ID — The Collection (Token ID) where you want to mint your NFTs.
- Amount to mint — How many NFTs you want to create.
- Mint Type — Whether you're minting identical or different NFTs.
- CID Links — One or several CID links depending on Mint Type.
- Supply Key — Required in the last step to sign the minting operation.
Select Mint Type
Identical
All NFTs will share the same metadata CID. You only need to input one CID Link.
Once you enter the CID, the NFT data will preview before confirming the mint. This metadata cannot be changed — if you need different details, use another CID or create a new one with the Data Manager.
Different
Each NFT will have a unique metadata CID. You'll need to provide multiple CID Links. There are two ways to input them:
- Copy and Paste — Paste your CIDs directly from a spreadsheet.
- Import a .cKBL file — Import a file containing all CIDs generated previously with the Data Manager.
After importing, you'll be able to review all NFT Metadata within a table before proceeding with the minting process. Note that you cannot modify details of already generated CIDs.
Step-by-step process
Enter your Token ID
Input the Token ID of the Collection where you want to mint NFTs.
Define the amount
Specify how many NFTs you want to mint in this batch.
Choose your Mint Type
Select Identical for a single CID, or Different for multiple unique CIDs.
Provide your CID Links
For identical mints, enter one CID link. For different mints, paste or import your CID links and review the metadata in the table.
Sign and confirm
Review all minting details and confirm the transaction. The Supply Key is required to authorize the operation.
If you created the Collection using Account Mode (your account's public key), Kabila Wallet will automatically detect it and you'll only need to sign the transaction with your connected account — no need to manually enter any private key.
