How to get ZEC on-chain and actually buy NFTs (A Beginner's Guide)
I can tell you’ve been seeing ZEC NFTs on the TL and skipping them because the setup looks messy. it is a bit messy. here is the shortest path I know.
>PC: install Noir;
chromewebstore.google.com/de…
>Mobile: install Zodl;
zodl.com/
>save both your shielded and transparent addresses before you move any money.
>funding:
-open
near.com/
-create a NEAR account with Meteor Wallet. write the keys down.
>fund that NEAR wallet with at least 3$ from a supported chain. read the instructions on-screen before you click anything.
(if 3$ is tight, split it with someone. don’t sit this out over gas.)
>swap:
near.com/swap?from=USDT&to=Z…
>send to your Zcash wallet:
-copy your shielded address from Noir or Zodl
>then send from here;
near.com/send/confidential?t…
-usually lands in ~3 minutes.
>sending out later is easier. you can deposit ZEC to Binance without repeating this whole loop.
>explorer:
3xpl.com/zcash
>important: these NFTs are not on OpenSea or Magic Eden. each collection runs its own launchpad/marketplace. watch for degen mints, WL mints, and whatever else starts printing on Zcash.
