You need cryptocurrency to pay for some of your interactions with the blockchain and to pay for the items you buy. You can buy it through OpenSea using a credit or debit card, you can deposit funds from an exchange like Coinbase, or you can buy it directly in your wallet extension. Let's learn more.

On OpenSea, click your wallet balance in the upper right corner. Next, choose Deposit or Buy.

For many people, it can be easy to find a crypto exchange, like Coinbase, which will offer a way to buy crypto with cash.

Click Deposit within your wallet on OpenSea.

Then, scan or copy your wallet address. Use the wallet address you copied to send crypto from your exchange, following their instructions to send yourself funds. As an example, here is Coinbase's Help Center guide.
