This article provides a comprehensive guide to purchasing NFTs in the Axie Infinity Marketplace for those seeking to engage in the world of Lunacia.
To start exploring the App.Axie marketplace, and be able to purchase your first Axie NFTs, you will need your own wallet first. I you don't have one yet, you can set up your wallet by:
- Creating a Key-based Ronin Wallet [Mobile] [Desktop];
- Creating a Keyless Ronin Wallet either (1) directly via the Ronin Waypoint site or (2) via the social login option in your Ronin wallet [Mobile] [Desktop]
- Creating an EVM wallet via other platforms (e.g., Metamask, Trust, Rabby, etc.)
Once you have your wallet, log in to App.Axie with either via your chosen wallet or via Waypoint.
NFT Collections
There are several types of NFTs available on App.Axie that you can use in various Axie experiences. These include:
- Axies - Axies are adorable creatures that are at the very core of the Axie Infinity ecosystem. You may learn more about axies on our Axies article. There are also special kinds of axies, which have special parts and are limited in number. You can learn more about these in our Collectible Axies article.

Purchase via Keyless Address
We have two ways to use a Keyless wallet in App.Axie.
Log in with Waypoint
With the Ronin Waypoint integration, you will be easily able to utilize your keyless wallet to easily purchase. Do transactions directly with just a Waypoint login, not needing a browser extension or a Ronin mobile wallet to sign transactions.
In case you have 1 keyless wallet & 1 seed phrase wallet in the same Waypoint account:
You first need to switch to Keyless under the profile's connected address.

Log in with Extension > Ronin Wallet
To be able to use your Keyless address using the Ronin wallet extension, you need to import it first via the social login option. Go to Settings > Manage Wallet > Import Existing Wallet > Social Login. Then input your email and recovery password to complete.
Purchase via Seed Phrase Address
To make transactions on App.Axie using your key-based address via Ronin Wallet or other web3 wallets, you first need to switch to Seed Phrase under the profile's connected address.

You’ll be prompted to connect your wallet the first time you log in or attempt to make a transaction with your wallet. This will prompt you to connect all addresses in your wallet, but you may opt to connect only the address you will be using to make the transactions.

You can also hover over the Marketplace icon on App.Axie to quickly switch between the NFT collections.
Step 3: Browse and Select the Desired NFT
You can browse through the available NFT collections within your chosen collection.
You may use filters within each collection if you’re looking for something specific, such as if you are looking for specific parts on an axie, or a specific type of land plot.
Step 4: Complete the Purchase
When you've found the NFTs you wish to acquire, proceed to complete the purchase process by clicking the Buy Now button.
Select the token you would like to use for the purchase, then click Buy Now again and confirm the transaction on your wallet.
Once the purchase is finalized, the acquired NFTs will be accessible and manageable in the App.Axie Inventory as well as directly in your wallet through the NFT tab.
