Minting in Blink Galaxy is a process that involves transferring tokens from your account in Blink Galaxy to the blockchain with the wallet assigned to your account as the destination. This procedure is carried out through a smart contract, which is responsible for generating the tokens on the blockchain. Once the tokens have been minted, they are available to start a claim process.&#x20;
