1. Download a Cardano wallet
β«οΈA Crypto wallet gives you 100% ownership of your crypto & NFTs. You must have your own wallet to buy & sell NFTs. β«οΈMake sure to securely save your seed phrase. β«οΈThere are many wallets, these are the ones most widely used.
β«οΈVespr: Mobile wallet, great UI: https://vespr.xyz β«οΈGero : Desktop & mobile wallet: https://gerowallet.io/ β«οΈEternl: More robust, with advanced features: https://eternl.io/app/mainnet/faq
β«οΈOnce you have Ada, set a 5β³ collateral in you wallet, found in your wallet settings. β«οΈThis may be necessary when using some DEXs and other Dapps on Cardano.
2. Fund your wallet
Two most common ways
Buy directly through your Cardano wallet with your credit card.
Through a Centralised exchange.
Exchange β«οΈOnce you have created an account, passed KYC, you can buy Ada and send to your Cardano wallet. β«οΈWe would advise you not to hold Crypto on a Centralised exchange, as who ever holds the keys (seed phrase) owns the Crypto. If something were to happen with an exchange, you may lose access to your Crypto.
Centralised Exchange β«οΈGemini: https://www.gemini.com/ β«οΈBinance: https://www.binance.com/en β«οΈCoinbase: https://www.coinbase.com/ β«οΈKraken: https://www.kraken.com/en-gb
Decentralized Exchange β«οΈChangelly: https://changelly.com/ β«οΈFixedFloat: https://fixedfloat.com/en/ β«οΈChangeNOW: https://changenow.io/
Swap from other chains β«οΈSimpleswap This is a very easy way to move from one exchange to another, for example from Ada to Eth. We have found this to be among the cheapest to use.
