FAQ

A non-fungible token, or NFT, is a digital asset used to represent ownership of unique items or access, whether digital or physical. Most commonly they are used for digital collectibles. Ownership and transfer of an NFT is secured by the Ethereum blockchain, which ensures that one NFT only has one owner at any given time, and that nobody can modify the history of the token’s ownership.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency or store of value that uses the blockchain, a digital transaction ledger, to record and secure online transactions. Cryptocurrencies can be used to buy goods and services. Currently, the most traded cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, followed by Ethereum.

This NFT is minted on the Ethereum blockchain

While Bitcoin and Ethereum are both used as currencies, Ethereum is also a platform that can be used to build software, known as decentralized applications. The original NFT standard was developed on Ethereum, and today this remains the blockchain which sees the highest volume of NFT transactions.

A blockchain wallet is a digital storage that enables you to store and transact with cryptocurrency. In its simplest form, a wallet comprises a public and private key, which are cryptographically generated.

To make the process of setting up a wallet user-friendly, there are many software wallets, such as Metamask, which equip you with a wallet address, key vault, secure login, and backup options to manage your digital assets securely. Metamask runs as a browser extension and/or mobile app, and you can be up and running in just a couple minutes. Learn more at Metamask FAQ.

With a digital wallet, you hold the keys and are in charge of your own assets. Your assets are only as safe as your keys, so back them up and keep them safe! Remember to never, ever share your seed phrase to anyone. That is for your eyes only.

Gas fees or minting fees are a transaction fee on the Ethereum blockchain. When you make transactions, such as purchasing an NFT, you will need enough ETH in your wallet for the initial purchase and the associated gas fees. The gas fee enables your transaction to be logged on the Ethereum network.

The price of gas is volatile and fluctuates based on the supply of miners who receive the gas for the transaction vs the demand from consumers making transactions. A user enters the gas price they want to pay, a suggested fee is always shown by the wallet you are using (eg Metamask) to make the transaction. If the cost of gas price exceeds the fee you offered to pay your transaction could fail and the gas fee will be lost without the transaction confirming.

Gas fees are taken by the Ethereum. Lost gas fees are non-refundable. Move forward at your own risk.

You can purchase ETH through an online exchange as for e.g Coinbase. Once you have purchased ETH, you can transfer the funds into your Metamask or another compatible wallet to purchase an NFT. Please keep in mind that there are limits on the amounts of ETH you can buy and sell based on your account and the platform you’re using.

NFT marketplaces enable creators and collectors to buy, sell and create. After connecting your wallet, you can purchase, auction or sell a wide range of NFTs. The leading open NFT marketplace is called Opensea, this is also referred to as the secondary market.
