How do I buy an NFT?
The most common way of buying an NFT is to make the purchase using cryptocurrency. To do this, follow these three steps:
- Create an account on a popular crypto exchange, and purchase the crypto required to buy the NFT. Popular exchanges include Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. Popular cryptocurrencies for NFT purchases include ETH, SOL and POL.
- Download a software wallet, and transfer the crypto to this wallet. Your wallet must support the blockchain that the NFT is on, and the cryptocurrency that will be used to purchase it. Popular software wallets include MetaMask, Rainbow, and Phantom.
- Visit an NFT marketplace, connect your software wallet, and complete your NFT purchase.
An increasing number of NFT marketplaces support purchases with a credit or debit card, such as OpenSea, though this is often limited to particular regions.
