# Minting (CIP-25)

[CIP-25](https://cips.cardano.org/cip/cip-25) is the original and most widely adopted standard for creating NFTs on Cardano. It defines a metadata structure that is stored off-chain and linked in the minting transaction.

This section provides examples of how to mint NFTs according to the CIP-25 standard, which is ideal for traditional, immutable NFTs.
