How to Participate
These simple steps will guide you through the process of setting up your digital wallet and acquiring Polygon MATIC currency, which is necessary to mint your NFT.
Create a Wallet
Setup a secure wallet such as MetaMask to store your NFT and crypto assets. Cryptocurrency wallets are pivotal for securely storing private keys, offering complete control over your assets. Your crypto wallet enable interactions with decentralized applications (DApps) and provide enhanced transaction privacy. However, with these benefits comes the sole responsibility of diligent management to ensure asset security.

Add Polygon Network
Through MetaMask's secure web browser, navigate to ChainList.io to integrate the Polygon Network. Remember to connect your wallet to the website for a seamless addition of the network. It's important to note that every transaction from your secure wallet requires your explicit approval before the network is incorporated. Before proceeding further, familiarize yourself with your wallet's features to ensure a safe currency transfer.

Buy MATIC Currency
Head over to MoonPay, a trusted platform for cryptocurrency purchases. From the list of available cryptocurrencies, select 'Polygon' or look for the 'MATIC' token. MoonPay accepts debit cards among other options. When you reach the stage to input a receiving address, ensure you have your MetaMask wallet address handy. Copy the address accurately from MetaMask and paste it into the MoonPay interface. This step is crucial because it determines where your purchased MATIC tokens will be delivered. Double-check the address for accuracy to ensure your coins are sent to the correct destination. Once everything looks good, you can finalize your purchase, and your MATIC tokens should arrive in your MetaMask wallet shortly after.

Mint Your NFT
Minting is the process of creating a unique digital token on the blockchain, representing your digital art. To initiate this, first, approve connection to this website when prompted by MetaMask. Once connected, proceed with the minting of your NFT by selecting the quantity and pressing the MINT NFT button. It's essential to ensure you have an adequate MATIC balance in your wallet to cover these costs. If your balance is insufficient, the minting process will fail. Always double-check the details before confirming the mint to ensure a smooth and successful creation of your NFT. Once your transaction has completed, the NFT will be delivered to your crypto wallet.
