Step by step guide to buying your first Cardano NFT.

  • Step 1 - What is Cardano?

    Also referred to as ADA, Cardano is a proof of stake blockchain technology platform. Cardano has been developed for a number of years using peer reviewed methods. While they haven’t gone to market as quickly as other projects, there is great hope in its scalability. By using proof of stake instead of proof of work (solving complex algorithms through computing power) Cardano is able to scale the number of transactions on the network while having a smaller impact on the planet.

  • Step 2 - Why Cardano?

  • Step 3 - Setting up your Cardano wallet.

    The best wallet in our opinion right now is the Eternl wallet. Start off by downloading it on your computer. During the setup, you will need to write down a set of words in a certain order. The words are your seed phrases and serve as your “username” and can help you log in and retrieve your account from any device. Whatever you do, do not lose your seed phrase as well as the passwords you set up for your account. What is fantastic about the Eternl wallet which can be found as a chrome extension is that it allows you to interact and experience all other Cardano-built Dapps (decentralized applications). Once you have minted yourself a few Gangsta Goats NFTs, make sure to explore the rest of what the Cardano blockchain has to offer. To Mint a Goat simply load up your Eternl wallet with some ADA and follow the instructions on the button linked above.

  • Step 4 - COP THE DROP

    Once you have set up your Eternl wallet, browse our drops and mint directly from gangstagoat.io/drops

  • Step 5 - Buy and sell your goats on secondary marketplaces

    Buy or sell your goats. Browse the listings on jpg.store or cnft.io, when you find one that you like, hit the buy button. You will need to send the specific amount to the wallet address of the seller. You can either paste the address or scan the QR code. Once it has been sent, your asset will appear in your wallet. You can also list your assets for resale.

  • Step 6 - Share the love, Share the knowledge.

    We launched Gangsta Goats in the pursuit of knowledge, to learn how to use new technology. Most of you will also be learning how to use a digital wallet for the first time. You will be surprised by how user-friendly this can be. Once you figure it out, tell your friends about it, have them set up their own wallets, send them a few ADA, a Gangsta Goat, and learn how to use the Cardano ecosystem together. The Alonzo hard fork in September 2021 brought the ecosystem live to be built upon. Many decentralized applications, dapps, have since appeared. Buying an NFT is just the start. Kind of like signing up to Hotmail back in the day. To learn more about Cardano and its ecosystem visit cardano.org. Word of caution, beware of scammers.
