How to mint on OP3N with Crypto

How to start an account, connect your cryptowallet, and mint on OP3N.

Welcome to OP3N!

This is your how-to guide to successfully mint your NFT on the OP3N platform.

We will use Ethereum for the example in this guide, but it will apply the same for other blockchains.

Before minting on OP3N

To begin minting on OP3N you will need Ethereum (or ETH for short) in your crypto wallet.

ETH is one of the digital currency types required to purchase an NFT on the OP3N platform. To get ETH, you may need to trade your regular currency on a centralized exchange like Coinbase, Binance, FTX or many more.

You will also need a crypto wallet. One of the most commonly used and the one we recommend is called MetaMask https://metamask.io/download/. You can download MetaMask for your desktop browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave) or download the MetaMask mobile app from the iOS app store or Google Play store. Once your wallet is ready, you may need to transfer ETH from an exchange to your new wallet address. MetaMask is currently the only wallet supported by OP3N.
