Buying digital art is much different than buying physical art. To buy digital art, first you will need a digital wallet. Metamask, Alpha Wallet, and Math Wallet are some of the top digital wallets used for NFTs and digital art. It is free to create a digital wallet, all that is different is they will send you a series of 9-12 words that you will need to confirm your identity. After that, you can link your wallet to an NFT trading platform such as Opeansea.io. Think of this as your Amazon.com but for digital art. All digital art on these platforms are purchased in crypto so keep that in mind when you are looking to purchase your first NFT. You can also expect to pay “gas fees” of anyhwere from $50-$150 which is an added cost to the NFT. Gas fees are charged by users to compensate for the computing energy required to process and validate transactions on the crypto blockchain. Once the purchase in made and gas fees are paid, the NFT is now in your digital wallet.
