If you’re contemplating a purchase of digital art, MarfaMeta has taken the trouble out of purchasing blockchain assets. Our blockchain art (aka NFTs) may be purchased with US dollars, not cryptocurrency. Your purchase begins with your credit card, you receive your receipt (confirming ownership) and one of our Concierge Services department members will oversee and complete the digital transaction.

Before we begin our step-by-step guide to purchasing and owning our blockchain art, let’s examine how you will own the art itself.

How Blockchain Art is Owned

Digital assets like cryptocurrency and NFTs are kept in their owner’s digital wallet. If it’s your first time buying a piece of digital art, you’ll want to obtain a digital wallet and luckily, there are many good free ones. Our smart contracts exist on the Polygon chain, so you’ll need a wallet that works with Polygon (that’s most of them). Around the office, we use MetaMask.

Step 1: Choose Your Piece

The first step in purchasing blockchain art from our gallery is to choose the piece you’d like to own. Our collection features a variety of styles and themes, so you’re sure to find something you love. Once you’ve made your selection, you can proceed to checkout.

Step 2: Make Your Purchase

Our gallery accepts payments via credit card, so you can easily complete your purchase online. After you’ve entered your payment information, your order will be processed and your purchase will be confirmed by your receipt. At this time, you’ll receive the Unlock Code which has the IPFS location of your new art. You may begin using and enjoying your new art immediately.

Step 3: Provide Your Digital Wallet ID

Once your purchase has been confirmed, you’ll receive an email from our Concierge Service asking for your digital wallet ID. A digital wallet is a secure, online storage space where you can store and manage your digital assets, including NFTs. If you don’t already have a digital wallet, you’ll need to create one before proceeding.

Step 4: Transfer of Ownership

Once you’ve provided your digital wallet ID, our Concierge Service will transfer ownership of the blockchain art to your digital wallet. This process typically takes a few hours, after which the piece of art will officially belong to you and will be stored in your digital wallet for safekeeping.

Step 5: Enjoy Your New Piece of Art

And that’s it! Once the transfer of ownership has been completed, you can enjoy your new piece of blockchain art. Whether you’re displaying it in your digital wallet, using it as your desktop background, or simply holding onto it as a valuable asset, you can rest assured that your NFT is securely stored and owned by you.

In conclusion, purchasing blockchain art from our gallery is a simple and secure process. With a few easy steps, you can own a unique piece of digital art that is truly one-of-a-kind. So why wait? Start browsing our collection today and find the perfect piece to add to your digital art collection.
