Welcome to Tokapi, a marketplace where you can easily buy and sell NFTs. Before you begin your journey, we would like to add some helpful information in this article as to how to get the most out of your Tokapi Experience.
If you are just now embarking on your journey into the NFT space and would like to learn about NFTs, in general, to help navigate rough waters, our article NFT 101, is your best bet! It is also quite common to come across terms you’ve never heard of before, and for that, we offer our lexicon to help you expand your NFT vocabulary.
Step 1 — Registration & Profile Creation
First and foremost, to be able to start using Tokapi, you have to register for an account.
You can choose between a private or a business account. When registering, you can simply use your private email address or conveniently register with Google. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter to not miss out on exciting updates!
At the moment you can choose between English and German. Soon a greater range of languages to choose from will be made available.
Step 2 Filling Out Your Profile
After registration, you should proceed to fill out your profile completely. We recommend doing this at the very beginning of your trading journey as trading with NFTs is only available when your profile is fully activated. Since some NFT drops are very exclusive and strictly limited, time is of the essence. If your profile is not activated at the time, it could cost you your first successful NFT drop.
Additionally, you can link up your socials to invigorate your profile with more character.
Now let’s move further onto probably one of the most important items within profile activation, and that happens to be the security settings.
To guide you further, if the thought passes you as to where your NFTs will actually be secured on Tokapi and who exactly is responsible for it, we have provided our users with the following solution. To ensure maximum security for our consumers, we work with Tangangy. Tangangy is a German company that specializes in the custody of digital assets and cryptocurrencies, and has officially been licensed from BaFin to do so.
To protect your profile and your associated assets, we recommend choosing a strong password and then enabling 2-factor authentication. Secure passwords are those that contain upper and lower case letters as well as numbers and special characters. Ps: Your date of birth is not a secure password ;-)
Going a step forward, if you wish to store your NFTs in your own personal wallet, this is also a possibility on Tokapi, wherein you can send your NFTs to your own wallet with much ease.

NFT Drops
Congratulations, you’ve reached the fun part! Interesting topics incoming, namely buying and selling NFTs.
At the top of the menu bar you will find the button titled NFT Drops.
An NFT drop is the initial release of an NFT project. A drop essentially refers to the exact date, time, and typically the price of the NFT.
On Tokapi we currently distinguish between Open Editions, a drop that is limited to a certain time but not to the number of items, and Limited Editions, where there is only a certain number of items available.
Buying NFTs at the drop is the wise-man’s way of saving money, as the first editions are usually cheaper than the ones that follow on the secondary market.
When do drops take place?
To check out the drop schedule, in order to find out if a drop is live right now or if one will happen in the near future, you can easily check the drop section on Tokapi. We also constantly keep our community updated with the latest offers in our newsletters and social media channels.
Marketplace
The drops are, however, not the one-and-only way to acquire NFTs on Tokapi.
On the marketplace, you are able to see which NFTs are being offered at the moment. If an NFT strikes a chord with you and you want to learn more about it, you can click on “more details” to get more information regarding it. You can also further mark this NFT with a heart to keep it in your favourites. It is also possible to negotiate upon an existing offer if the current price does not suit you.
Furthermore, you can sort the marketplace by category, price, or time of sale.
You can also switch between Ethereum (link) and Polygon (link) blockchains.
Note: If you want to sell NFTs on Tokapi, you have to initiate a process called KYC (Know-Your-Customer) to get verified.
We do this with the mere goal of reducing the risk of suspicious activity. This is done by analyzing the customer’s sources of funds in order to guard against acts such as money laundering or terrorist financing.
