Today, we’re showing you how to purchase a non-fungible token (NFT) on Opensea - by writing a post on Mirror and listing it as an NFT itself.
What you will need for this Quest:
- ETH to purchase the NFT and cover gas fees
- MetaMask wallet (or another web3 wallet)
What is OpenSea?
OpenSea is a peer-to-peer marketplace for NFTs – showcasing everything from digital collectibles and art to virtual land and utility tokens.
Think of OpenSea as the eBay of NFTs, where you can bid on an NFT auction, mint and sell your own NFT, or explore the wild west of non-fungibles. OpenSea is where most NFT collectors go to discover almost any project.
How to Purchase an NFT on Opensea
Step 1: Choose your NFT on OpenSea.
Go to OpenSea and choose which NFT you want to buy.
For the purposes of this tutorial, simply choose an NFT on OpenSea that you love and would be happy holding on to for the long term.
Note*: you may need to pay additional gas fees if it’s your first time purchasing on OpenSea.*
Step 2: Click “Buy Now” or “Place Bid”
Some NFTs are on auction while others can be bought right away.
For this tutorial, we will buy an NFT that is ready for immediate purchase.
Click “Buy Now” and agree to OpenSea’s Terms of Service.
Step 3: Agree to OpenSea’s Terms of Service and Checkout.
Once you check the box, and click “Checkout", you will be prompted to pay ETH gas fees for your NFT. Set the amount of gas fees and confirm your NFT purchase.
Step 4: Wait for confirmation.
Now you wait! Depending how much gas you used, it could take up to 30 minutes or longer for the payment to confirm.
Once confirmed, your NFT will be in your wallet and displayed on your OpenSea profile.
That’s all you need!
Congratulations on buying an NFT on OpenSea. You can now show your NFT off to all of your friends.
