What is NFT?

NFTs accounts for non-fungible tokens. Which means a piece of data that is unique and there isn’t any copy of it on the blockchain.

Physical currency and cryptocurrencies are both “fungible,” which means they may be traded or swapped for one another.

They’re also worth the same amount – one dollar is always worth another dollar, and one Bitcoin is always worth another Bitcoin. The fungibility of cryptocurrency gives it a reliable method of executing blockchain transactions.

What is Solana?

Solana is a cryptocurrency that is used to pay for transactions or a decentralized computing network.

Solana attempts to increase blockchain scalability by combining proof of stake and proof of history consensus as a result solana promises to be capable of processing 50,000 transactions per second while maintaining decentralization.

If you want more details about the project you can browse through the twitter page or discord channel.

Step 6: Once you decide the NFT item you want to buy.

Its very simple if you scroll to the bottom you will see the token address and you’ll see the current owner.

You will find the royalties and transaction fees that you have to pay. Once you click the Buy now button it should pop up with the phantom wallet in the top right and if you approve this transaction then it will deduct the Solana from your wallet.
