A wallet is your personal gateway to the Ethereum blockchain. It’s where you store ETH (Ether) — the cryptocurrency needed to interact with decentralized applications like Mintable.
You’ll need a wallet to:
Hold your ETH
Mint NFTs
Buy or sell items
Approve transactions securely
Every transaction on Ethereum (minting, buying, selling, transferring NFTs) requires ETH to pay gas fees. Your wallet is what submits these transactions to the blockchain — and where you hold your funds and NFTs.
Yes! Wallets are self-custodial — meaning you’re the only one with access.
You must manually approve or deny every transaction
Mintable cannot make transactions on your behalf
This gives you full control over your digital assets
🔒 Always keep your wallet’s private key or seed phrase safe. Anyone with that info can access your wallet.
Every user who signs up on Mintable also gets a free Mintable Wallet — a custodial wallet powered by MetaMask technology.
It lets you receive NFTs, including from gasless mints
You can take custody of the wallet at any time and import it into MetaMask
It’s ideal for onboarding users who don’t yet have their own wallet
Then connect it to Mintable and start collecting or creating NFTs right away!
