Create a Crypto Wallet ( + find your address and claim NFT you already bought)
Add funds to your wallet
Buy NFTs on KodaDot
1. Create a crypto wallet
Of course, you need to have a crypto wallet first. KodaDot supports a few. My favorite is Talisman, but you can use other supported wallets (Subwallet, Nova wallet, Polkadot.js…).Â
For Talisman:
Download the wallet: Supported browsers: Only Mozilla Firefox has its store. If you have Mozilla, click HERE. For all the other options, click HERE.
Click Add to Chrome (or other browsers).
Click Add extension on the pop-up window that is displayed. A new tab will open in your browser once the extension is downloaded.
Pin your extension on the browser: Click on a puzzle icon in your browser, and after that, on the pin. Now you will have your wallet next to your search bar.
Create a wallet: extension is downloaded, and you can set up your account. Click on the small Talisman logo (hand) to open the wallet.
In order to set up a wallet, click on New wallet.
If you select, Create a new account, add a password for your account, and click
Continue
. (Remember your password)The last step is to decide on allowing anonymous information to help Talisman improve its wallet. Click any option, and the setup is finished!
The final step is to back up your account. You can do this step later, but don’t forget about it! This is very important. Each wallet has a backup phrase created with 12-18 words. In case you forget your password. You can lose access to your wallet if you lose your recovery phrase. Click HERE to learn how to do it.
Congrats! You have now set up a Talisman account!
Where is my Kusama address?
If you bought an NFT from Barro and only need to claim it, they will need your Kusama address. To find your address:
Open your Talisman extension in your browser (top right corner) and click on your account.
Click on the icon with two squares (copy icon):
Select Kusama network - with canary logo:
Click on big green Copy Address button
.
Now you can paste (ctr + v) your address where you need it. You will need this address if you already bought an NFT from Barro. You will receive your NFT at this address.
Add funds to your wallet
To buy Barro’s NFTs, you need to own a specific cryptocurrency. On KodaDot we use Kusama — KSM). To learn more about Kusama and the technology behind it, click HERE.
In your, Talisman wallet, click on Buy Crypto:
Select account: My Polkadot Account
Choose Token: Kusama
You will be redirected to third-party provider Banxa to go ahead and complete the transaction. The crypto will automatically go straight to your Talisman wallet. Choose a currency you prefer:
Be aware that there are transaction fees in some cases. Click on a small arrow to see all the options you have. Some of the options are without the fees. Use the one you are comfortable with.
Click on Create Order - finish the payment by completing the necessary steps. After you confirm everything, it may take some time for your transaction to be completed (it depends on the option you choose).
3. Buy NFTs on KodaDot
Go to KodaDot.xyz. In the top right corner, click on Connect - Confirm - Talisman - My Polkadot Account. You may need to confirm the connection in your wallet.
Next to your profile choose Kusama:
Search on the search bar for BOREDBARRO or click HERE to open the collection.
Sort NFTs how and toggle up the button to see which ones are for sale:
Choose the NFT you like and click on Buy. Sign the transaction with the password you used for your wallet and wait till it’s processed.
Congratulations! You just bought your NFT!
You can see your NFT in your profile between collected NFTs or if you open your wallet extension, click on view NFTs.
