How to buy NFTs on OpenSea using MetaMask

Friday, May 7, 2021 13:25

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

First things first, a little primer. If you’re new to crypto, buying NFTs is a three step process, here’s the overview:

Buy ETH somewhere like Coinbase or Kraken
Setup an account with a wallet, I’m a big fan of MetaMask
Transfer ETH to your wallet

I’ll walk through each of these steps and honestly, three minutes from now you’ll be ready to rock, and hopefully you’ll also see that it’s not as intimidating as you might think.

Buy ETH – While Coinbase is dominating the headlines lately there are lots of different places where you can use regular old money to buy crypto. Pick your favorite, and if you’re the most comfortable with Coinbase, use that. As for an amount to start with, only put in what you’d be okay to lose – crypto is still very risky.
Setup an account with an ETH wallet like MetaMask – just head on over to MetaMask.io and create an account. It’s completely free to create an account and the whole process should take about two minutes. Make sure to add the Chrome extension and I’d recommend pinning it so it’s easy to access.
Transfer ETH to your wallet – this is pretty simple but it’s the step that I find confuses most people who are new to crypto, so I’ll walk you through it visually below with Coinbase as the example.

How to transfer ETH from Coinbase to your MetaMask wallet:

When you’re logged into Coinbase, click the “Send / Receive” button at the top right, it looks like this:

If you’ve ever sent BTC you’re probably used to a long waiting game. BTC can take 30 minutes or sometimes even an hour to send, ETH is much faster so you should see this show up in your MetaMask account in a minute or two (or faster).

And that’s it, now just head on over to OpenSea, pick an NFT you want to buy, and with fresh ETH in your MetaMask account (and enough of it) begin your NFT journey. I hope this is helpful!
