Creating a wallet

Before uploading your NFT art on the marketplace, make sure you have a wallet installed on your browser. If not, we'll create it now. There are many crypto wallets and you can use any one of your choices. Here, I'm using Metamask, as it's a popular wallet for web browsers. Screenshot 2022-02-03 004411.png

As you can see in the image, your wallet is stored in an Ethereum blockchain, you can create many wallets with other blockchain technology. But for now, let us continue with the default option.

Uploading your NFT art

On the rarible website, click on sign in and click on Metamask. Then your Metamask wallet pops up from the extension, it'll ask you for the password, enter it and click on submit. Then you're logged into the rarible website. Now, you're ready to buy and sell your NFT art collection.

Click on create, select Ethereum as your blockchain, as your wallet is stored in the Ethereum Blockchain. Now you get two options to select: single or multiple. If you want to sell your art once, then click on single or if you want to sell your art multiple times, then click on multiple.
