NFT marketplaces are platforms where NFTs can be stored, displayed, traded, and in some cases minted (created). These marketplaces are to NFTs what Amazon or eBay are to goods.

In order to access and use these types of marketplaces, you will need to have the following:

Crypto Wallet: You will need to select a wallet that is compatible with the blockchain network that supports the NFTs you wish to purchase (see below). For example, if you plan to buy or sell NFTs based on the Ethereum blockchain platform, you will need to use a compatible Ethereum wallet such as MetaMask. For NFTs sold on the Solana platform, you will need to use a wallet service such as Sollet.

Number of Coins in Wallet: Before buying, listing, or minting NFTs, you will need to pre-fund your wallet. Likewise, you will need to find out which cryptocurrencies are supported by the marketplace you intend to use.

User Account: You will need to set up an account on the specific marketplace you wish to purchase NFTs from.

It is worth noting that in most cases, listing and creating NFTs on marketplace platforms will incur blockchain network fees. The fees depend on which blockchain-based system you decide to use. For example, Ethereum has the largest ecosystem of NFT dapps (decentralized applications). But its fees are the most expensive.
