   • Please ensure you back up your seed phrase carefully.
     • If you lose your seed phrase, you will lose all your assets permanently, and no one can recover them for you.
     • It is recommended to save it on paper or using a password manager. Never save it as a screenshot (high risk of theft).
     • Exposing your seed phrase is equivalent to leaking your entire account login and password; your assets will not be secure.

1. Buy ETH on the exchange using USDT (Understanding Gas and Market Price Concepts)

• Purchase the cryptocurrency required for the NFT. For example, trading the Creator Pass on OpenSea currently uses ETH.
• How much ETH should you exchange?

  • Check the OpenSea market price: **https://opensea.io/collection/myshell-creator-pass**

  • After accessing OpenSea, you can check the NFT price. See the example image below.

  • You also need to account for the gas fee (on-chain transaction fee). We suggest a conservative estimate of 0.01 ETH.

  • Blockchain transaction costs fluctuate, so the gas fee is not fixed. 0.01 ETH is a slightly generous estimate; the actual amount needed will depend on the network conditions at the time.

  • There are transaction fees for trading and withdrawing ETH. It's advisable to purchase an additional 0.2% to cover these fees.

  • Use your existing USDT to exchange for the cryptocurrency.

  • It's recommended to buy directly using the market price.
