How can I get started buying NFTs on Gamma?

Buying your first NFT or Ordinal might sound intimidating, but it can be an exciting experience, too! If you’re new to NFTs on Stacks and Bitcoin, you may need to follow a couple of steps to first obtain Stacks (STX) or Bitcoin (BTC) cryptocurrency, which is used to purchase NFTs and Ordinals on Gamma.

Most simply put, you need to connect a supported digital wallet browser extension to Gamma and allow usage of your wallet’s cryptocurrency for the purchase of an NFT.

While we have no explicit affiliation with Leather (formerly Hiro), we recommend using the Leather wallet extension for the best experience. The wallet supports both Stacks NFTs and Ordinals, and you can download it at https://leather.io/
