Frequently asked questions
I’ve just minted my first NFT and got my wallet’s seed phrase. How do I access & sell it forward?
1. The easiest way is to go to https://metamask.io and download the MetaMask Chrome extension / phone application, then paste your seed phrase (or "Secret Recovery Phrase") to access your crypto wallet. Here is a quick YouTube Guide on that.
2. Then go to https://polygonscan.com, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the “Add Polygon Network” button.
3. Once you click the button, you will see a Metamask Notification; now click on Approve. You will be directly switched to Polygon’s Mainnet in the network dropdown list. You can now close the dialog. (If you are facing any issues, you can Add the Network Manually).
4. To view and sell your NFT, please go to https://opensea.io, and in the top right corner, you will find a wallet button to connect to your MetaMask wallet and access your OpeanSea profile.
5. If you are having trouble signing a metamask transaction while putting your NFT up for sale due to a 0 token balance on your wallet – you may reach out to us in Discord in the #💸┃token-request channel, and we will help you out.
What’s a wallet? What if I don’t have one?
1. Crypto wallets keep your private keys – the passwords that give you access to your cryptocurrencies – safe and accessible, allowing you to send and receive cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Unlike a normal wallet, which can hold actual cash, crypto wallets technically don’t store your crypto. Your holdings live on the blockchain, but can only be accessed using a private key. Your keys prove your ownership of your digital money and allow you to make transactions. If you lose your private keys, you lose access to your holdings.
2. If you don’t have a wallet address, #MintForUkraine will securely create one for you – watch this video for instructions on how to import your new wallet to MetaMask!
