How to Buy WAX NFTs — Beginner’s Guide
Buying NFTs on WAX is fast and gas-free. In a couple of minutes you can connect a wallet and own your first NFT on MintyBlocks— the WAX Blockchain NFT marketplace. Here's exactly how.
Step 1 — Get a WAX wallet
Create a WAX Cloud Wallet (email/social sign-in) or use Anchor or Wombat. Top up a little WAX to pay for purchases (network transactions themselves are free). New to WAX? Follow our account setup guide.
Where to buy WAX tokens first
You need WAX in your wallet before you can buy anything, and WAX is not sold on this site. Buy the token on a centralised exchange that lists it — Binance, KuCoin, Gate.io and Upbit all do — then withdraw it to your WAX account name. On WAX the account name IS the address: a 12-character name like yourname1234, not a long hex string. Withdraw to the wrong format and the exchange will simply reject it.
Two things worth knowing before you withdraw. Choose the WAX network at withdrawal, not Ethereum or BNB Chain — WAX tokens bridged to another chain cannot buy NFTs here. And send a little more than the NFT costs: purchases on MintyBlocks carry no buyer fee and no gas, but you still want a small balance left for your own account resources.
Already hold WAX elsewhere? Send it straight to your account name and it is usable the moment it lands — there is nothing to wrap, bridge, or approve.
Step 2 — Find an NFT
Step 3 — Buy it
Click Buy Now, review the WAX amount, and approve the transaction in your wallet. Ownership transfers instantly and the NFT appears in your profile. See the full buying guide for tips.
Fees and safety
WAX transactions are gas-free, and as a buyer you pay exactly the listed price — nothing is added on top. Fees come out of the seller's proceeds. Better still, buying earns you MINTY: every sale mints rewards worth 1% of the price, and half of that goes to the buyer — see what Minty Token is for how those rewards work. Always verify the collection and price before signing, and only use the official MintyBlocks site. Learn more about the platform on our WAX NFT marketplace page.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy WAX crypto?
WAX (WAXP) is listed on major centralised exchanges including Binance, KuCoin, Gate.io and Upbit. Buy it there and withdraw over the WAX network to your 12-character WAX account name — that name is your address, so there is no separate wallet address to copy. MintyBlocks does not sell WAX tokens; it is where you spend them.
Do I need WAX tokens to buy NFTs on MintyBlocks?
Yes. Listings are priced in WAX, so you need enough WAX to cover the price. You do not need anything extra for fees: buyers pay no platform fee and WAX charges no gas, so the listed price is what leaves your wallet.
