A Crypto wallet gives you 100% ownership of your crypto & NFTs. You must have your own wallet to buy & sell NFTs. Make sure to securely save your seed phrase. There are many wallets, these are the ones most widely used.
TokeoPay: Simple to use, lots of features, works for: https://theoneplatform.io/ https://tokeopay.io/
GeroWallet: provides a secure and UX friendly UI for you to manage your tokens and NFTs on Cardano with Built-In Swap swap ADA and any Cardano native assets directly within the wallet. With Cardano Shield built in. Which is an Open-Source wallet extension backed by Project Catalyst Fund10 Proactive protection from Phishing via websites and transactions using Machine learning modules and community insights.
Vespr: Mobile wallet, great UI: https://vespr.xyz GeroWallet: https://gerowallet.io Lace : Desktop quick wallet: https://www.lace.io/ Eternl: More robust, with advanced features: https://eternl.io/app/mainnet/faq
Once you have Ada, set a 5₳ collateral in your wallet. This is found in your wallet's settings. This 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 Once you have created an account, passed KYC, you can buy Ada and send it to your Cardano wallet.
We advise you not to hold Crypto on a Centralised exchange, as whoever 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 Gemini: https://www.gemini.com/ Binance: https://www.binance.com/en Coinbase: https://www.coinbase.com/ Kraken: https://www.kraken.com/en-gb
Decentralized Exchange Changelly: https://changelly.com/ FixedFloat: https://fixedfloat.com/en/ ChangeNOW: https://changenow.io/
Swap from other chains Simpleswap 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.
