Buying

Every listing that can be filled on mints has a Buy button. One click prepares the order, your wallet shows what you sign, and the NFT goes straight to your wallet.

#Buy the floor

The right column of every collection page has two tabs, Buy and Sell. Under Buy, Buy the floor shows the cheapest listing on top with its picture, price and dollar value, and a big Buy now. Below it are the next cheapest listings, up to 24, each with its own Buy.

#Quick buy

On Discover every row has a Quick buy button. It takes the cheapest listing of that collection that can be filled here and starts the same purchase, without opening the collection.

#What happens when you press Buy

The steps depend on the chain and on where the item is listed. In every case you sign in your own wallet and see the amounts before you confirm.

Ethereum, Base, Robinhood Chain

1. You press Buy
2. mints asks OpenSea for the order fill
3. MetaMask: confirm the purchase
4. MetaMask: confirm the 1% fee
5. The NFT is in your wallet

Solana, OpenSea listing

1. You press Buy
2. mints builds one transaction: the fill plus the 1% fee
3. Phantom: confirm once
4. mints simulates it, then sends it
5. The NFT is in your wallet

Solana, mints listing

1. You press Buy
2. One transaction: price to the seller, royalty to the creator, fee to mints
3. Phantom: confirm once
4. The platform key moves the NFT in that same transaction
5. The NFT is in your wallet

	Ethereum, Base, Robinhood Chain	Solana
Wallet	MetaMask	Phantom
What you confirm	Two transactions: the purchase, then the 1% fee	One transaction with the purchase and the fee inside
Paid in	ETH	SOL
Network switch	MetaMask is switched to the right chain for you	Not needed
Before sending	MetaMask shows what will change in your wallet	mints simulates it and stops it if it would fail

#An example

The cheapest listing is 2.4 ETH. You confirm 2.4 ETH for the item and 0.024 ETH for the mints fee, plus the network fee of the chain. The seller receives the listing price minus whatever their marketplace and the creator royalty take from their side.

#When a purchase shows on mints

A purchase made here becomes a trade on mints: it shows in the Sales tab, the Feed, your position and the leaderboard. On Solana that happens as soon as the transaction lands. On Ethereum, Base and Robinhood Chain it happens once the receipt shows the transaction succeeded, was sent by your wallet and the NFT arrived in it, usually within a minute.

#Which listings you can buy here

Collection	Buyable on mints
EthereumBaseRobinhood Chain	Every listing in the panel. They come from OpenSea, which fills them.
Solana	Listings placed on OpenSea. Items listed only on Magic Eden show a Magic Eden button that opens the item there instead.
Collections launched on mints	Every listing. They live on the mints order book, see below.

#Buying a launchpad NFT

Collections launched on mints are traded on mints itself. A listing there does not move the NFT anywhere: the owner keeps it in their wallet and gives the mints platform key permission to transfer that one NFT. When you buy, one transaction does everything at once:

• the price goes to the seller, minus the creator royalty,
• the royalty goes to the creator of the collection,
• the 1% mints fee is added on top,
• the platform key moves the NFT from the seller to you.

If any part fails, nothing happens. If the seller moved or sold the NFT somewhere else, the permission is gone with it, so the listing simply cannot be bought and disappears from the list. More in Security and custody.
