A Step-by-Step Guide to Buying an Akiverse NFT Game Center.

When you first hear about NFTs, they can seem quite complicated and confusing to buy. Fortunately, OpenSea has a variety of features built into its site to make the purchasing process relatively seamless.

If you haven’t purchased an NFT before, then this article is just for you. If you already know your way around OpenSea and buying NFTs, then all you need is ETH on Polygon and this link to the sale page for when the sale goes live on 27th February 2022 at 13:00 UTC: Akiverse NFT Game Center Sale.

We’ve divided this guide into 2 parts for quick reference:

Part 1: What you’ll need to buy a Game Center.

Part 2: Steps to follow to buy a Game Center.

Now, let’s look at each part of the guide.

Part 1 — What You’ll Need to Buy a Game Center.

You’ll need to have 2 things to purchase an NFT Game Center:

To buy an NFT on OpenSea you need a compatible crypto wallet that works on the Ethereum blockchain. The most popular wallet, and the one that we’ll use for examples below, is Metamask.

For this sale, you’ll need to have Ethereum on the Polygon network. The Polygon network provides scalable, secure and instant transactions with Ethereum currencies. To spend Ethereum on Polygon, you’ll need to bridge from the Ethereum network to Polygon. We’ll cover how to do this later in the article.

We have 72 Game Centers available for sale on 27th February. The amount of Ethereum you’ll need depends on what size Game Center you want to buy. There are 3 different sizes of Game Center available. The quantity of each size Game Center available for sale is shown below. The prices for the sale in ETH are listed below:

Large Game Center — 4 available for interest NFT projects 0.2096 ETH.

Medium Game Center — 23 available for 0.0570 ETH.

Small Game Center —45 available for 0.0154 ETH.

And now we’ll move on to the Steps to follow to buy a Game Center.

Part 2 — Steps to Follow to Buy a Game Center.

Step 1: Setup Your Crypto Wallet.

If you already have your wallet setup, feel free to skip this step. If not, we recommend using Metamask.

Visit Metamask.io and click on the Download button to install the Metamask extension on your browser.

MetaMask Home Page — Click the download button.

Once you’ve downloaded the extension, you can create an account by clicking Create a New Wallet. As part of this step, you’ll also need to choose a password and remember your seed phrase. Keep the seed phrase somewhere safe, not on an accessible device, as it provides direct access to your wallet and anyone who has it can access your account.

Keep your seed phrase safe. The one above is an example only, and won’t gain you access to a wallet.

After you’ve setup your MetaMask account, press the browser extension to access your account.

Step 2: Add the Polygon Network (MATIC) to MetaMask.

After setting up your wallet you’ll need to add the Polygon Network (MATIC) to MetaMask. This will allow you to convert your ETH from the Ethereum Network to the Polygon Network, so that you can buy NFTs for sale with ETH on Polygon.

The default network on MetaMask is set to the Ethereum Mainnet. Click on the dropdown arrow and then click on the Add Network button.

You will then see a form that you need to fill out with the details of the Polygon Network.

Here are the details that you’ll need to enter into each field to add the Polygon network. We have also included a screenshot of the details for reference below. Click the Save button once you’ve filled in the details.

Network Name: Polygon.

Currency Symbol: MATIC.

Now that we’ve setup your wallet and added the Polygon Network, we can move over to OpenSea to connect your wallet.

Step 3: crypto wallet may make money Connect Your Wallet to OpenSea.

Now we’re ready to connect your wallet to OpenSea, so that you can interact with the marketplace and purchase NFTs. Go to OpenSea.io and click on the wallet button to show the available wallet providers. Select your wallet from the list of options.

Click the wallet icon to connect your wallet.

Pick the accounts you want to connect to OpenSea, and then proceed to connect your wallet.

Select what wallet addresses you’d like to connect to OpenSea.

Once your wallet is connected, you’ll be able to see your wallet address and available balance when you click the wallet icon.

Funds available are visible after your wallet is connected.

Step 4: Add Funds to Your Wallet.

You’re almost ready to buy an NFT, but first, you’ll need to fund your account.

If you already have ETH available in another account, interest NFT projects either on an exchange such as Binance or Coinbase or in a different wallet, then you can send the funds directly to the wallet address that you want to use to buy NFTs.

If you don’t have any funds available, then you can buy ETH on your favorite exchange and then use the integrated tool on OpenSea to add funds to your account. Click the wallet icon and then select the Add Funds button to start the process.

Hit the Add Funds button to add cryptocurrency to your account.

A pop-up will appear to give you the option to Deposit Crypto from another wallet or Buy with a card. The simplest option is to Deposit Crypto from your exchange account or another wallet.

Confirm that the address that is displayed is the correct address that you want to send your funds to for purchasing NFTs, and then copy the address to your other wallet/exchange account and send your desired amount of ETH.

Confirm that the correct wallet address is displayed before sending ETH.

Good work! You now have your wallet funded ready to buy a Game Center NFT. Now we need to move your ETH from the Ethereum Network to the Polygon Network so that you can use the gas-free marketplace on OpenSea.

Step 5: Bridge ETH to Polygon.

There’s one small extra step to follow to convert your ETH from the Ethereum network to the Polygon network. This process is known as bridging.

To Bridge ETH to Polygon click the 3 dots next to your wallet balance, and then click Bridge to Polygon.

Now enter the amount of ETH that you want to convert, then click the Convert tokens button. The MetaMask extension will pop up to show the estimated gas fee and allow you to confirm the transaction.

Select the amount of ETH you want to Bridge to Polygon then Convert tokens.

Confirm your transaction on MetaMask to complete the bridge process.

Your ETH is now bridged on the Polygon network, so you are now able to utilise the Polygon gas-free marketplace on OpenSea.
