You don’t need to understand blockchain to mint your BOOBS NFT, but it feels much better when you do. Below: four little ideas explained with drawings, then four easy steps. That’s all there is.

00 / The basics

Four ideas, in plain words

Read these once and every button on this site will make sense.

Idea 1 — Blockchain

A shared notebook nobody can erase

A blockchain is a big public notebook kept on thousands of computers at once. Anyone can read it, everyone has the same copy, and once a page is written it stays there forever. That’s why we can prove who owns what without asking a bank or a company.

Think of it as: a guestbook signed in permanent ink, photocopied to the whole world every few seconds.

Idea 2 — NFT

A certificate that says “this one is yours”

An NFT is a line in that notebook saying “picture #42 belongs to this person”. The picture itself is stored safely; the NFT is the proof of ownership that travels with it. Because it’s in the notebook, you can sell it, give it away, or keep it, and everyone can see it’s real.

Think of it as: the signed certificate you get with a limited-edition print — except it can’t be forged or lost.

#042owner: you
Idea 3 — Wallet

Your purse, your keys, your account

A wallet is a free app on your phone or in your browser. It holds your keys and shows what you own. Websites like this one never see your password; they just ask your wallet “is it okay?” and you tap yes or no. No sign-up form, no email, no company holding your stuff.

Think of it as: a purse with a keychain: it holds your things and only you can open it.

Idea 4 — Gas & POL

A postage stamp for the notebook

Writing in the notebook costs a tiny fee called “gas”. It pays the computers doing the work. We use the Polygon blockchain because its stamps are cheap — usually a few cents. You pay gas in Polygon’s coin, POL, so you’ll want a few dollars’ worth in your wallet.

Think of it as: a stamp on an envelope: small, needed once per letter, and you buy a few at a time.

02 / Set it up

Four steps, about ten minutes

Do them in order. Each step is shown in the drawing next to it.

Step 1

Create your wallet & write down 12 words

Open the app, tap “Create a new wallet”. It will show you 12 words: this is your secret phrase. It is the only way to get your wallet back if you lose your phone.

  • Write the 12 words on paper, in order — not in a screenshot
  • Keep the paper somewhere safe at home, like a passport
  • Never type them into a website or send them to anyone
  • Add a PIN or Face ID to the app when asked
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.
Step 2

Make sure you’re on Polygon

BOOBS NFT lives on the Polygon blockchain. In Rainbow and Coinbase Wallet it is already there. In MetaMask, open the network menu and pick “Polygon”. When you connect, this site will also ask to switch for you — just tap Approve.

  • Look for the purple Polygon logo in your wallet
  • Network name: Polygon (sometimes “Polygon Mainnet”)
  • Coin shown next to your balance: POL
  • If the site asks to switch network, that’s normal — tap Approve
Polygon • POL
Step 3

Add a few dollars of POL

Tap “Buy” in your wallet and pay with your card — choose POL on Polygon. About 5 POL is plenty: gas costs a few cents, so that covers dozens of mints. A friend who already has crypto can also send you some.

  • In the wallet app: Buy → POL → Polygon network → pay by card
  • €5–10 is more than enough to start
  • Or copy your address (0x…) and have a friend send POL
  • The mint price and gas are always shown before you confirm
•••• 4242~5 POL
Step 4

Connect to BOOBS NFT

Come back here and tap “Connect Wallet” at the top of the page. Pick your wallet app, approve in the app, and you’re in. No account, no password — your wallet is your login.

  • On your phone the site opens your wallet app for you
  • On a computer, a QR code appears — scan it with the wallet app
  • Approving a connection costs nothing
  • You can disconnect any time from the wallet chip

03 / Words you’ll see

A tiny dictionary

Eight words cover 99% of what you’ll read on this site and in your wallet.

Wallet

An app that holds your keys. It is your account for everything blockchain.

Address

Your public “account number”, starts with 0x. Safe to share, like an email address.

Secret phrase

12 words that unlock your wallet anywhere. Never share, never type into a website.

Polygon

The blockchain we use. Fast, cheap, and eco-friendly.

POL

Polygon’s coin. You need a tiny bit of it to pay for gas.

Gas

The small fee the network charges to write something down. Usually a few cents.

Mint

Creating your NFT: writing your picture’s certificate onto the blockchain.

Sign / Approve

Tapping “yes” in your wallet to confirm an action. Nothing happens without it.

04 / Stay safe

Three rules that keep you safe

Crypto has no “forgot my password” button, so these matter more than usual.

Your 12 words are yours only

No one from BOOBS NFT — or any real support team — will ever ask for them. Anyone who does is trying to rob you.

Check the address bar

Only connect your wallet on boobsnft.org. Bookmark it. Look-alike sites are the most common trick.

Don’t sign what you don’t understand

Your wallet describes every action before you approve. If it’s not a mint, purchase or listing you started, tap Reject.

You’re ready

Wallet set up? Let’s make your first NFT.
