The Limited Edition 12″ version (and CD) of The Dead Stars EP is on the way. And each of the 300 copies of both the 12″ and the CD comes with a distinct NFT. This is the first step in claiming it when you register your unique piece of Abox history. I’m going to try to make this as easy as possible…
This post is intended to help you with getting a WAX wallet to collect NFTs minted on the WAX.io platform, and to claim the NFT for this release when it goes live. Let’s get right into it, ok?
The first step is that you’re going to head over to this link: https://on.wax.io/wax-io/ and click on the ‘CREATE A WALLET’ button on the top right-hand side of the page. From there you can create your account with basically two clicks. From there, you are ready to buy, send and receive WAXP.
I created my wallet using an email account, but you can use whichever method works for you. Like most sites, you will have to verify your email to log in. But basically, once you’ve created the account you are ready to start buying WAXP to use for collecting and storing your NFTs.
This is what your dashboard will look like when you log in. As you can see, I have some WAX in my account (top left). As far as my wallet address, it’s that ml2qy.wam on the top right. Your wallet address will be different of course.
You can send and receive WAXP (that’s the WAX token) by basically copying and pasting the address of someone’s wallet and hitting send. In the case of the NFT that came with your 12″, it will not cost you anything. You can claim it when we make it live. However, there may be a slight ‘gas fee’ to do the transaction, so have a little WAXP handy.
To buy WAXP, just click on the BUY WAXP button. You can buy WAXP using an exchange (subject to change) or using a credit card. In either case, the WAXP that you buy will go into your wallet, and you can use it to collect NFTs and to pay for any transactions. And don’t worry, gas fees on WAX are super small, pennies in fact.
From there, you can explore the WAX platform and collect NFTs! If we have your wallet on file, we will be able to drop an NFT to you as well, so when you register your 12″ or CD, it’s not a bad idea to give us your wallet address. Don’t worry, unlike a pickpocket, we cannot do anything with it other than send you an NFT or WAXP. We cannot raid your wallet!
Once you have received your NFTs, they will show up in your NFT Inventory. It looks something like this…
As you can see, it’s pretty easy. We cannot wait to get this rolling! You can reserve your Dead Stars 12″ or CD by going to the JerseyWave bandcamp page: https://jerseywave.bandcamp.com/album/dead-stars-ep
And soon enough the registration page for the 12″ will be open too. For that, you will have to wait until you have the physical piece in your hands. Who knows what else you might find…
