Buying NFTs on Cardano
How Do I buy CNFTs?
Before buying any CNFTs, you usually first need to purchase Cardano’s currency, ADA, through any centralised exchange (CEX).
Then you will need to create an CNFT-capable wallet. Having a wallet will let you interact with CNFT marketplaces as well as hold the asset. There are a number of wallets to choose from.
Send the ADA you purchased from the exchange to your wallet (this avoids the potential for a CNFT purchase to be made from an exchange wallet, which at the time of publishing this article would result in the CNFT and funds potentially being lost).
Assuming you have researched and found CNFT or CNFT project you like, you are now ready to mint your first CNFT, or purchase from a seller on a secondary marketplace.
Where Can I Buy CNFTs
If you’re looking to buy CNFTs which aren’t yet released / minted, you should seek advice from the artist on how and when their NFTs will become available.
As GOAT Tribe NFTs aren’t currently being minted, you can only buy them from a secondary marketplace. Whilst the GOAT Tribe marketplace is under development, you can find listings directly via these links (please note that GOAT Tribe NFTs may not be on sale at all of these links and other marketplaces may be available):
or you can use an aggregating service such as:
- CNFT Jungle — (https://www.cnftjungle.io/collections/38798)
- CNFT.tools — (https://cnft.tools/goattribe) or
- TokenRef — (https://goattribe.tokenref.com) which aggregates sales from a number of outlets.
Any upcoming GOAT Tribe minting events will be well publicized through our Discord, Twitter and Instagram channels.
How do I store and view my NFTs?
The simplest way to view NFTs which you own is to visit https://pool.pm/<your wallet address>, replacing ‘<your wallet address>’ with the address of your wallet which holds the CNFTs. From there you can click the CNFT to view its metadata and access a full resolution image.
It will also show you your ADA balance as well as any native tokens you might own.
