A guide to buying NFTs with Valora 

TL;DR 

If you’re an NFT beginner, Valora is the perfect app to begin your exploration into this diverse world: 

  • Browsing and purchasing NFTs is a seamless process with the Valora app and only requires a few taps. 

  • Your Valora wallet provides a single, convenient place for you to view and collect all of the NFTs that you buy from Celo NFT marketplaces. 

  • Plastiks is one marketplace that offers special NFTs that are directly linked to removing plastics from our environment. 

  • tofuNFT is another marketplace that offers a wide variety of NFT collections on Celo. 


One of the most popular uses of crypto is buying and selling NFTs - short for “non-fungible tokens.” NFTs are cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain. However, unlike cryptocurrency, which is “fungible” - meaning every token is exchangeable for every other token (like dollar bills), non-fungible tokens are verifiably unique. Each NFT has a unique digital identity that cannot be replicated. NFTs can be freely bought and sold, and the history of ownership - and, therefore, authenticity - is verifiable on the blockchain

Valora plugs you directly into the exciting world of NFTs. With your Valora app, you can easily connect to NFT marketplaces to buy and sell NFTs. And with your Valora wallet, all of your NFTs are securely stored and accessible in one place. 

So, if you’re ready to get your first NFT, then read through this guide!

Start exploring an NFT marketplace 

On Celo there are quite a few different marketplaces where you can buy and sell NFTs. For those who are new to crypto, so many choices can seem overwhelming. But to make it easier for you, we’ll highlight two marketplaces that you can begin exploring today. 

Plastiks is a marketplace offering a unique assortment of NFT collections. The NFTs available for purchase, are unique in offering features that also benefit the environment. 

Each NFT featured on Plastiks is backed by a Plastic Recovery Guarantee, which proves a certain amount of plastic has been removed from the environment to help save the earth. To date, Plastiks has removed 1.9 million kilograms of plastic and 210 million plastic bottles from the environment through their NFTs. 

Another popular marketplace is tofuNFT. Tofu is a marketplace that features thousands of different NFT collections. This marketplace is simple to navigate and enables you to browse one of the largest varieties of NFT collections on Celo. Users can easily sort by the newest NFTs, the lowest price or highest price, or NFT sales that are ending soon. 

Marketplaces like Plastiks and tofuNFT serve as a good starting point for you to explore NFTs. We encourage you to browse through them and see if there are any NFTs that appeal to you!
