This guide explains the three things you'll need in place to open your account and start buying or selling NFTs on Trophee.
1) Digital Currency
- ETH/BNB
You can get ETH/BNB, the digital currency that fuels transactions on the Ethereum/BSC blockchain, from a digital currency exchange like Coinbase. You will need ETH/BNB to "mint" an NFT, list an NFT and for gas fees to complete transactions. Gas fees are a bit of a tricky concept. Please note that gas fees on the ETH network is way higher than that of the BSC network. If you’re interested in the technical details of gas, read Jeff Coleman’s Stack Exchange post.
- $MANGA
You can get $MANGA from a digital currency exchange like Pancakeswap, or you can just directly trade at Trophee Farm. You will need $MANGA to purchase or list an NFT. And if you are also into "farming", you must definitely buy $MANGA!
Now that you have funds, let's get a crypto wallet.
2) Crypto Wallet
A crypto wallet, such as MetaMask, stores your ETH and processes transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. A unique wallet address will be generated and you will use this address to complete transactions.
Watch our tutorial to learn how to install a crypto wallet to connect with Trophee.
All transactions connected to your wallet address can be found on etherscan.io or bscscan.com. It's always a good idea to check Etherscan/Bscscan after completing each transaction.
Why do you need a wallet before buying and selling on Trophee?
Trophee itself is another tool you use to interact with the blockchain. We never take possession of your items or store your NFTs. Instead, we provide a system for peer to peer exchanges. Since you’ll be using Trophee to interact directly with others on the blockchain, you’ll need a wallet to help you turn your actions in the browser into transactions on the blockchain.
Now that you have a crypto wallet installed, you can connect your wallet address to Trophee.
3) Trophee
Let's connect your wallet to Trophee, edit your profile, and begin interacting in the space.
When you arrive to Trophee.XYZ, you must click Trophee ETH or Trophee BSC (whichever network you prefer) then head to the top right profile icon, select "Log in".
You will then be prompted to make an account using your Email or by using your Mobile number. You will continue through multiple prompts, finishing with the connection screen. When you see "Connecting..." Trophee to your wallet, you're almost done.
Your account name will be your wallet address.
Now you're all set! If you ever have trouble viewing your items, make sure your wallet is connected correctly. Trophee is a window into your wallet address, showing all the cool NFTs inside. Trophee doesn't store your digital items, it's only a fun place to buy, sell, create, and trade NFTs.
The heart of Trophee is the browse page and search features. Enjoy buying, trading, creating, and selling NFTs on Trophee!
