Get a Crypto Wallet & POL
A wallet is your account on the blockchain. You need one to mint, buy, and own BOOBS NFTs. POL is the native currency of Polygon used for gas fees.
Install a Wallet
Create a new wallet in a few minutes. Save your secret phrase somewhere safe and never share it.
Choose a Wallet App
Install a wallet that supports Polygon. MetaMask and Rainbow are popular options.
- MetaMask: browser extension or mobile app
- Rainbow: mobile-first and beginner friendly
- Coinbase Wallet: works with Coinbase accounts
- Only download from official app stores or sites
Create Your Wallet
Follow the app instructions to create a new wallet. Your secret recovery phrase is the only way to restore it.
- Write down the 12 or 24-word recovery phrase
- Store it offline in a secure place
- Never share it with anyone or enter it on unknown sites
- Set a strong password for the app
Add the Polygon Network
BOOBS NFTs live on Polygon. Add the network to your wallet so it can send transactions.
Switch to Polygon
Add Polygon PoS to your wallet. Apps like this one will prompt you to switch networks automatically.
- Network name: Polygon Mainnet
- Currency: POL
- Usually added automatically when you connect
- If not, use a trusted chain-list site like chainlist.org
Fund Your Wallet
You need a small amount of POL to pay gas fees. Minting on Polygon is typically under $1.
Get POL Tokens
Buy or transfer POL to your wallet address. Keep a small balance for gas.
- Buy POL on an exchange and withdraw to your wallet
- Transfer POL from another wallet you own
- Ask a friend to send a small amount to get started
- Keep 1-2 POL for minting and transfers
Stay Safe
No one from BOOBS NFT will ever ask for your recovery phrase. Never sign transactions you do not understand, and always double-check the site URL before connecting your wallet.
