Tezos is a unique blockchain network that stands out from others due to its proof-of-stake protocol, self-amending on-chain governance, and smart contracts written in the Michelson programming language.

It utilizes the tez (xtz) cryptocurrency and has gained popularity among artists who create Tezos NFTs across various mediums.

Tezos' energy-efficient and environmentally friendly approach, along with its ability to upgrade itself without hard forks, make it a sustainable and adaptable choice for blockchain technology.

As an artist and NFT enthusiast, Tezos is my preferred platform for minting and collecting NFTs.

NFTs, short for non-fungible tokens, represent unique digital assets that are transforming various industries, including art, music, and publishing.

Unlike traditional digital files, NFTs carry a distinct code that serves as proof of authenticity and ownership. These one-of-a-kind tokens cannot be easily duplicated or replaced, making them highly valuable and sought after.

NFTs are minted on blockchain networks, which provide a secure and transparent environment for creating and trading these digital assets.

With their ability to verify ownership and establish scarcity, NFTs have opened up new avenues for artists, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.

If you are totally new to Tezos, NFTs, and blockchain technology, this article might not be right for you. Please go back and read my earlier articles to answer questions like: 

• What is Tezos?

• What is an NFT?

• What is a cryptocurrency wallet?

• How do I create a Tezos wallet?

• How do I create an account on Objkt.com?

• How do I create an NFT collection on Objkt.com?

• How do I mint a Tezos NFT?

If you have all of that covered and are just looking for a guide to help you send one of your Tezos NFTs as a gift to another collector, then keep reading for a step-by-step tutorial to teach you how to send Tezos NFTs!

Sharing is Caring

Open Objkt.com and sign into your account. 

Find the NFT that you would like to gift, and open it's individual landing page.

On the right side of the screen, find the "Actions" tab and click on it. 

Scroll down a bit on the "Actions" tab until you locate the "Send" fields.  

Decide how many editions of the Tezos NFT that you want to send to the new wallet.

In this example, I will be sending 1 edition of this NFT, so I have typed "1" in the "# Editions" box. 

You may send as many editions of an NFT as you hold in your wallet. 

You will need to enter the exact address of the Tezos wallet that you want to send editions of your NFT to. 

You must be careful with this step. If you make a mistake, and send your NFT to the wrong wallet, you will not be able to recover it.

Here is how you can be sure that you have the exact correct address.

Step 5A: Visit the Recipient's Objkt.com Profile

Open a new window or tab, and open another Objkt.com window. 

Find the Objkt.com profile of the person you want to send your NFT to.

For this example, I am sending an NFT from my AI account, LAMPmemes.tez to my main account, LAMPphotography.tez.

Step 5B: Click on their Tez Domain Name or Wallet Address

Click on the recipients' .Tez domain name or Tezos wallet address. 

This should be located as the second line of the person's Objkt.com profile.

Step 5C: Review the Wallet on Tezos Blockchain Explorer

Review your recipient's wallet on the Tezos Blockchain Explorer. 

Scroll through their recent transactions to make double sure that you have the correct wallet.

Step 5D: Locate the Wallet Address and Click the Copy Icon

Locate the wallet address in the top left corner of the page. This should be a long string of letters and numbers, listed below the person's .tez domain name. 

Locate the little "Copy" symbol that looks like a stack of papers to the right of the long address and click on it.

The correct Tezos wallet address should now be saved to your clipboard.

Head back to your original Objkt.com window, where the NFT you are planning to gift should still be open.

Make sure that you are on the correct NFT, that you have toggled to the "Actions" tab, and that you are entering data into the "Send" fields.

Now, paste the recipient's Tezos address (that you just copied from the Tezos blockchain Explorer) into the field that says "Recipient Address". 

If you would like to send editions of the NFT to more than one receiving address at the same time, you can click "Add recipient".

When you click that, a second set of boxes labeled "# Editions" and "Recipient Address" will pop up. 

Repeat the process of visiting the person's Objkt.com profile to retrieve the correct wallet address from Tezos blockchain explorer for each wallet that you want to send an edition of your NFT to. 

Skip this step if you are only sending an edition to one wallet. 

When you are satisfied that you have the correct NFT, that you are sending the correct number of editions, and that you are sending those editions to the correct wallet (or wallets), click "Send".

Be completely sure that you have done everything correctly. This step cannot be undone. 

Your wallet should open as a pop up window.

Enter the password you have set for your browser wallet to unlock it. 

When the wallet is unlocked, you will see a "Confirm Operations" window.

Review the transaction and the gas fee. 

Select "Confirm" when you are satisfied. 

Be patient.

Wait while the transaction takes place on the Tezos blockchain.

Depending on the current traffic on the network, this may take a few minutes. 

When the transaction is complete, a little green pop-up should appear at the bottom right-hand side of your screen. It should say, "Token/s successfully sent."

After a minute or so, your Tezos NFT gift should be visible in the recipient's wallet.

To double check, you can head back to the recipient's profile on Objkt.com, and click on their "Owned" tab.

You should see the Tezos NFT that you just sent them towards the top of their "Recently Recieved" list. 

If you do not see it right away, don't panic. Objkt.com often gets bogged down during heavy traffic periods. Just wait another minute, refresh the page, and check again. 

Throw a party!

Do a dance!

Pop some champagne!

You just successfully gifted a Tezos NFT!

Look at you go!
