# 3. Mint and Burn NFTokens
{% include '_snippets/nfts-disclaimer.md' %}
This example shows how to:
1. Mint new Non-fungible Tokens (NFTokens).
2. Get a list of existing NFTokens.
3. Delete (Burn) a NFToken.
# Usage
You can download the [Quickstart Samples](https://github.com/XRPLF/xrpl-dev-portal/tree/master/content/_code-samples/quickstart/js/quickstart.zip) archive to try the sample in your own browser.
## Get Accounts
1. Open `3.mint-nfts.html` in a browser.
2. Get test accounts.
1. If you have existing NFT-Devnet account seeds:
1. Paste the account seeds in the **Seeds** field.
2. Click **Get Accounts from Seeds**.
2. If you do not have existing NFT-Devnet accounts:
1. Click **Get New Standby Account**.
2. Click **Get New Operational Account**.
## Mint a NFToken
To mint a non-fungible token object:
1. Set the **Flags** field. For testing purposes, we recommend setting the value to _8_. This sets the _tsTransferable_ flag, meaning that the NFToken object can be transferred to another account. Otherwise, the NFToken object can only be transferred back to the issuing account. See [NFToken Mint](https://xrpl.org/nftokenmint.html#:~:text=Example%20NFTokenMint%20JSON-,NFTokenMint%20Fields,-NFTokenMint%20Flags) for information about all of the available flags for minting NFTokens.
2. Enter the **Token URL**. This is a URI that points to the data or metadata associated with the NFToken object. You can use the sample URI provided if you do not have one of your own.
3. Enter the **Transfer Fee**, a percentage of the proceeds from future sales of the NFToken that will be returned to the original creator. This is a value of 0-50000 inclusive, allowing transfer rates between 0.000% and 50.000% in increments of 0.001%. If you do not set the **Flags** field to allow the NFToken to be transferrable, set this field to 0.
4. Click **Mint Token**.
## Get Tokens
Click **Get Tokens** to get a list of NFTokens owned by the account.
## Burn a Token
The current owner of a NFToken can always destroy (or _burn)_ a NFToken object.
To permanently destroy a NFToken:
1. Enter the **Token ID**.
2. Click **Burn Token**.

### Mint Token
```
// *******************************************************
// ********************** Mint Token *********************
// *******************************************************
async function mintToken() {
```
Connect to the ledger and get the account wallets.
```
results = 'Connecting to ' + getNet() + '....'
document.getElementById('standbyResultField').value = results
let net = getNet()
const standby_wallet = xrpl.Wallet.fromSeed(standbySeedField.value)
const client = new xrpl.Client(net)
await client.connect()
results += '\nConnected. Minting NFToken.'
document.getElementById('standbyResultField').value = results
```
Define the transaction.
```
const transactionBlob = {
"TransactionType": "NFTokenMint",
"Account": standby_wallet.classicAddress,
```
Note that the URI field expects a hexadecimal value rather than the literal URI string. You can use the `convertStringToHex` utility to transform the URI in real time.
```
"URI": xrpl.convertStringToHex(standbyTokenUrlField.value),
```
If you want the NFToken to be transferable to third parties, set the **Flags** field to _8_.
```
"Flags": parseInt(standbyFlagsField.value),
```
The Transfer Fee is a value 0 to 50000, used to set a royalty of 0.000% to 50.000% in increments of 0.001.
```
"TransferFee": parseInt(standbyTransferFeeField.value),
```
The TokenTaxon is a required value. It is an arbitrary value defined by the issuer. If you do not have a use for the field, you can set it to _0_.
```
"NFTokenTaxon": 0 //Required, but if you have no use for it, set to zero.
}
```
Send the transaction and wait for the response.
```
const tx = await client.submitAndWait(transactionBlob, { wallet: standby_wallet} )
```
Request a list of NFTs owned by the account.
```
const nfts = await client.request({
method: "account_nfts",
account: standby_wallet.classicAddress
})
```
Report the results.
```
results += '\n\nTransaction result: '+ tx.result.meta.TransactionResult
results += '\n\nnfts: ' + JSON.stringify(nfts, null, 2)
document.getElementById('standbyBalanceField').value =
(await client.getXrpBalance(standby_wallet.address))
document.getElementById('operationalBalanceField').value = results
```
Disconnect from the ledger.
```
client.disconnect()
} //End of mintToken()
```
### Get Tokens
```
// *******************************************************
// ******************* Get Tokens ************************
// *******************************************************
async function getTokens() {
```
Connect to the ledger and get the account wallet.
```
const standby_wallet = xrpl.Wallet.fromSeed(standbySeedField.value)

const client = new xrpl.Client(net)
results = 'Connecting to ' + net + '...'
document.getElementById('standbyResultField').value = results
await client.connect()
results += '\nConnected. Getting NFTokens...'
document.getElementById('standbyResultField').value = results
```
Request a list of NFTs owned by the account.
```
const nfts = await client.request({
method: "account_nfts",
account: standby_wallet.classicAddress
})
```
Report the results.
```
results += '\nNFTs:\n ' + JSON.stringify(nfts,null,2)

```
Disconnect from the ledger.
```
client.disconnect()
} //End of getTokens()

### Burn Token
```

Connect to the ledger and get the account wallets.

let net = getNet()
const client = new xrpl.Client(net)
results = 'Connecting to ' + net + '...'
document.getElementById('standbyResultField').value = results
await client.connect()
results += '\nConnected. Burning NFToken...'
document.getElementById('standbyResultField').value = results
```
Define the transaction.
```
const transactionBlob = {
"TransactionType": "NFTokenBurn",
"Account": standby_wallet.classicAddress,
"TokenID": standbyTokenIdField.value
}
```
Submit the transaction and wait for the results.
```
const tx = await client.submitAndWait(transactionBlob,{wallet: standby_wallet})
```
Request a list of NFTokens owned by the client.
```
const nfts = await client.request({
method: "account_nfts",
account: standby_wallet.classicAddress
})
```
Report the results.
```
results += '\nTransaction result: '+ tx.result.meta.TransactionResult
results += '\nBalance changes: ' +
JSON.stringify(xrpl.getBalanceChanges(tx.result.meta), null, 2)
document.getElementById('standbyResultField').value = results
