NFTs or “Non-Fungible Tokens” are one of a kind unique digital assets that exist on a blockchain. NFTs come in many forms such as digital artwork, virtual apparel, music and access passes.

At their core, NFTs are a unit of data stored on a public ledger that is associated with ownership of a digital asset. Each NFT has a unique identifier, allowing provable ownership of the asset and making counterfeiting impossible.

Salty Pirate Crew NFTs can be purchased from NFT marketplaces such as [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/collection/saltypiratecrew). To purchase an NFT you will need a wallet such as [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/). A wallet can be set up quickly, easily and free of charge. Once your wallet is set up you will need to add enough Ethereum to the wallet for the purchase of the NFT and gas fee.

Gas fees are payments made by users to compensate for the costs incurred for using the computing power of the Ethereum blockchain. Gas fees are dynamic, with the price determined by the network’s congestion at the time.

Unfortunately we can’t ship internationally yet but we’re exploring distribution options so that every Pirate can get involved!

A wallet is like a digital purse for storing cryptocurrencies and allows users to interact with blockchain applications. A wallet can also store digital collectibles like NFTs that you might want to buy, sell, trade, transfer to someone else or to another wallet of your own.
