Getting set up
Step 1: Purchase Crypto
Purchase Crypto from a major centralized exchange like coinbase, crypto.com, etc..
Step 2: Send Crypto to Non Custodial Wallet
Setup a Non Custodial wallet for the purpose of having having control over your crypto in a safe decentralized technology. The non custodial wallet can be setup up by either adding a wallet extension to google chrome, brave, etc.. or by downloading the wallets native wallet app. (Dont forget to save your seed phrase somewhere safe!). Once the wallet is setup then send the crypto you purchased from the centralized exchange to the Non Custodial wallet.
Step 3: Connect to Site
Connect your wallet to whichever site or app you'd like to use and start transacting. You will need to click "Connect', then click "Approve". Only connect to site you know are safe and trust! Never click links or connect to sites from random people! If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is.
Step 4: Make your Transaction
Depending on what blockchain and website or Dapp youre using the proccess may vary a tiny bit but its mostly the same for all chains. If youre buying an NFT from a secondary marketplace such as Opensea or MagicEden you will find the NFT you like, add it to your cart, click purchase, approve the transaction and you're done. There will be multiple fees, 1) The price of the NFT. 2) The Network/Gas fee (cost for transacting on the network or blockchain) 3) Marketplace fee (cost for using the marketplace service) 4) Project Royalties (cost for each time an NFT is sold, funds help projects stay building and funding their goals for future growth)
