Setting Up Your Temple Wallet

Before you can start your NFT journey, you'll need to set up a Temple Wallet. Follow these simple steps to create and configure your wallet:

Step 1: Visit the Temple Website

Temple Wallet is now available for download on Chrome and Firefox, as well as iOS and Android. It is free, open-source, decentralized, and secure.

Go to templewallet.com and click the "Download" button. Choose the appropriate version for your browser or mobile device and install the extension or app.

Step 2: Create a New Wallet

Once the installation is complete, open Temple Wallet and click "Create new Wallet" and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your account.

You'll be prompted to reveal your Secret Backup Phrase. Write down this phrase and store it in a secure location. The backup phrase is crucial for recovering your wallet in case of loss or device failure.

Step 3: Funding Your Wallet with XTZ

Next, you'll need to acquire XTZ tokens to fund your wallet. This can be done through a cryptocurrency exchange like Coinbase or Binance, or directly within the Temple Wallet interface using the "Buy" option. Once you've purchased XTZ, transfer the tokens to your Temple Wallet address.

Exploring NFT Marketplaces

With your Temple Wallet set up and funded, you can now explore various NFT Marketplaces to find the perfect addition to your digital collection. There are a lot of different NFT marketplaces on the Tezos blockchain, which we will talk about in the following guides. But in this guide we will focus on fxhash.xyz

fxhash: a few words about

The world of art has been significantly transformed by the advent of blockchain technology. One platform at the forefront of this revolution is fxhash, an open platform built on the Tezos blockchain, where artists can publish and mint their unique Generative Tokens. These tokens, through the autonomous system implemented, generate random output, producing distinct pieces of art that are stored as NFTs on the Tezos blockchain.

Tezos has emerged as a popular platform for NFTs, and the success of fxhash is a testament to this. The platform has proven itself as a vibrant community of artists and collectors, who are passionate about generative art. The open and inclusive nature of the platform, paired with the innovative capabilities of Generative Tokens, has made fxhash a thriving marketplace for NFTs on Tezos.
