Buying My First OCM NFT

We’re so excited to help you purchase your first OnChainMonkey (OCM) NFT! And, soon, welcoming you into our OCM family.

There are two main ways of purchasing an OCM NFT - from a marketplace that accepts credit cards or one that accepts the cryptocurrency Ethereum from a crypto wallet. The former is a faster first shopping experience. Keep in mind that you’ll want to set up the latter (a crypto wallet with cryptocurrency) at some point. We’ll walk you through both methods.
