Learn how to set up your account on Dropspot and start your NFT adventure!

1. Wallet

For a user to create, sell, buy and redeem NFT's, it is essential to have a cryptocurrency wallet to facilitate these transactions and store your NFT's. Compatible crypto wallets, store your digital currency and allow you to interact with the Cardano blockchain, enabling you to process transactions and monitor your balance.

Once you install your crypto wallet, a unique wallet address will be generated. This wallet address will allow you to connect to Dropspot and you will use this address to complete transactions.

For a step-by-step guide refer to the article: How do I setup a Crypto Wallet?


2. Digital Currency (ADA)

Digital currency, ADA, is required to purchase and sell NFT's on Dropspot. You can obtain ADA from popular crypto-exchanges such as Crypto.com and Coinspot.

Note: ADA is not required when redeeming your already purchased NFTs.

Once you have installed your wallet and obtained ADA, you can connect your wallet to Dropspot, create an account, and begin your NFT adventure!

Note: As a Creator, you don't need ADA to create, mint and list your collection, as Dropspot will cover the blockchain minting fees free of cost.
