How To Setup And Fund A Wax Wallet
Step-by-Step
The first thing you need in order to get started buying and selling Cannabis Critters is a WAX wallet. Its very simple!
There are a few different wallets you can use for this but the easiest and most user-friendly wallet is the wax cloud wallet. This is the wallet we will be using for this tutorial.
​
To get started visit https://wallet.wax.io/ and sign up with your email or your preferred method
Step 2
After creating a account on Wax cloud wallet, log into your account. At the top right side of your screen you should see your public WAX wallet address. This is the address you will give people if they want to send NFTs to you and the address you will use to receive your Cannabis Critters NFT.
​
In the example below you can see that my wallet address is 5i1fc.wam
Step 3
Now that you have a WAX wallet you can head over to the marketplace at https://wax.atomichub.io/market and click "Log In" at the top right corner of the screen
After clicking "Log In" a prompt will pop up asking you to choose a wallet. Click the Wax Cloud Wallet button
​
After selecting the Wax Cloud Wallet a window will pop up with your wax wallet address displayed in it and will prompt you to approve a request. Make sure the wallet details match your address from the previous step and if so click "Approve"
Step 4
After Logging in you should see your wax wallet address at the top right corner of the screen indicating that you have logged in successfully.
Congrats! Now you have a WAX wallet and are logged into the marketplace where you can trade, buy, and sell NFTs.
Continue to the next step to learn how to fund your wallet.
If you are already familiar with using cryptocurrency you can skip this tutorial and head straight to the marketplace to purchase your Cannabis Critters!
Step 5
Funding your WAX wallet for purchasing and trading NFT's
Now that you have a WAX wallet you need to fund your account with the crypto that you will use to purchase your NFT and to make transactions.
​
The token you need in order to trade using the atomichub marketplace is called WAX. In order to get wax into your wax wallet you must purchase some from a crypto exchange that supports it.
​
The exchange that I use for purchasing WAX is www.Kucoin.com. They are very reputable and easy to use. Head over to kucoin.com now and create an account.​
​
Once you have a account on Kucoin you can purchase some WAX from the "Markets" tab or if you already own any of the cryptocurrency's that they support you can simple send one of those currencies to your Kucoin account and exchange them on the marketplace for Wax.
​
Now that you have WAX tokens in your Kucoin account you can send them over to your Atomichub wallet and purchase Cannabis Critters!
​
Go back to https://wax.atomichub.io/market and copy the wallet address from the top right corner of the screen (This is the wallet address from STEP 4)
​
This is the wallet address you will send your WAX tokens to from kucoin. Click "Withdraw" on Kucoin and select WAX and enter your wallet address from atomichub and your wax tokens will show up in your account in minutes!​
Congrats! You are now ready to purchase your Cannabis Critters! Head on over to the marketplace!
The Image below is from Kucoins website and shows the "Sign Up" button at the top right corner of the screen and the "Markets" button at the top left corner of the screen.
After clicking the "Markets" tab you can type Wax into the search bar to find Wax
If you live in the U.S you cant purchase wax from kucoin with cash directly.
Instead you can use Kucoin to exchange crypto you aleady have for wax. U.S residents must first purchase crypto from a U.S exchange like Coinbase.com and then send it to Kucoin to exchange for Wax
If you need help with this step then continue reading below for step by step instructions. If not, head over to the atomichub marketplace
If you live in the U.S and you don't already own any cryptocurrency to exchange for Wax and you want to purchase Wax tokens using a credit card or other payment method then you will first need to create and verify a account on a U.S based exchange such as Coinbase.com where you can then purchase crypto to send to kucoin to exchange for wax
If you need help with this step then continue reading below for step by step instructions
Go to www.coinbase.com and sign up and verify your account.
After signing up you will have the option to fund your account. Select one of the funding options to put money into your account.
​
Once you have funds in your account you can then use coinbase to purchase any cryptocurrency that Kucoin accepts (such as ETH or BTC or EOS) and send it from your coinbase account to your kucoin account so you can trade for Wax
​
​
In the following screen shots below we will use the crypto EOS for example because the transaction fees are free on EOS and Ethereum transaction fees can be very high
First purchase some EOS.
After purchasing EOS from coinbase you can then send the EOS to your Kucoin account. To do that you will first need your EOS wallet address from Kucoin
​
Go to Kucoin.com and log in. Click on the tab at the top of the page that is labeled "Deposit"
Next type EOS in the search bar and click EOS
After clicking EOS you will see data such as your EOS wallet address and your Memo. Write down or copy both your EOS wallet address and your memo.
After saving this information head back to coinbase.com
Next click on "Send/Receive" in the top right corner of the page
Next a window will pop up asking you for the details on the amount you wish to send and the address and memo.
Click the "Pay With" button and change it from Bitcoin to EOS
​
Enter the amount you wish to send and enter your EOS address from the previous step into the "To" field
​
In the " EOS Memo" field you need to input your memo number from the previous step
​
Click Continue and thats it! Your EOS will now be sent to your Kucoin account where you can trade them for WAX!
Now that you have WAX tokens in your Kucoin account you can send them over to your Atomichub wallet and purchase Cannabis Critters!
​
Go back to https://wax.atomichub.io/market and copy the wallet address from the top right corner of the screen (This is the wallet address from STEP 4)
​
This is the wallet address you will send your WAX tokens to from kucoin. Click "Withdraw" on Kucoin and select WAX and enter your wallet address from atomichub and your wax tokens will show up in your account in minutes!
