Buy on Magic Eden — step-by-step

If our direct mint is sold out, you want a specific trait, or you'd rather pay in SOL than with a card, Magic Eden is the right move. This page covers the whole flow once.

Prep

1. Install a Solana wallet (Phantom is the most popular).
2. Fund it with SOL — buy on Coinbase or any centralized exchange and withdraw to your wallet's Solana address.
3. Always send a tiny test amount first (~0.01 SOL) to confirm the address before sending the full amount.

Buy

1. Open Magic Eden: magiceden.io
2. Top-right: Connect Wallet. Approve in Phantom.
3. Search the collection name (e.g. "Giraffe Tower" or "MAGA Giraffe").
4. Use the trait filters or sort by price low-to-high.
5. On a listing: Buy now → review price + 2% Magic Eden fee + small SOL gas → approve in wallet.
6. The NFT lands in your wallet on confirmation (a few seconds on Solana).

Unlocking Gary Club access

Our holder check polls Helius every few minutes. After a Giraffe Tower purchase on Magic Eden, you'll see your member surfaces unlock without any manual step. If 10 minutes pass and you still don't see access, refresh /dashboard or check that the right wallet is set as primary on /dashboard/wallets.

Pitfalls to avoid

• Phishing sites — only use the URL magiceden.io. Bookmark it. Listings on other sites that look identical are usually scams.
• Approving signature requests blindly — a Magic Eden buy is a transaction-approval popup with a clear price. If a popup asks you to "approve all" or sign a message about your seed phrase, REJECT and disconnect.
• Wrong network — Gary Club NFTs are Solana, not Ethereum or Polygon. The wallet needs to be on Solana mainnet.
