⚠️ Warning: Purchasing Highrise LAND is done at your own risk. Blockchain technology is still new and evolving, and there is a risk of scams and other malicious activities. Please stay informed about basic security measures, such as using strong passwords and two-factor authentication, and only use services from trusted sources.
To purchase a Highrise LAND, you will need a Metamask wallet, crypto currency, and to be informed about the basic security measures of the blockchain technology.
You can follow the steps below:
Step 1: Create a Metamask Wallet
A MetaMask wallet is like a digital bank account for your crypto currency. It allows you to store and manage your ETH (Ether) and other digital tokens in a secure, easy-to-use way. You can use your MetaMask wallet to purchase Highrise LAND and access all the perks and benefits that come with owning a plot of LAND.
You should use a computer to use and create a MetaMask Wallet. It's the easiest and safest way. Follow these steps:
Install the MetaMask browser extension from the official website (https://metamask.io) or from the Chrome Web Store.
Click the MetaMask icon in your browser to open the extension.
Click the "Create a Wallet" button on the welcome screen.
Enter a strong password to protect your wallet and click "Create". Make sure to write down your password and store it in a safe place.
Read and accept the terms of use and privacy policy, then click "All Done".
You will be shown your MetaMask seed phrase, which is a series of 12-24 words that can be used to restore your wallet if you forget your password or lose access to your account. Write down your seed phrase and store it in a safe place.
⚠️ This seed phrase can give anyone permanent full access to your account. Losing it means losing access to your account. Anyone with access to it can also have access to all the assets stored in your wallet. No one will ever ask you to share this information unless they’re trying to scam you.
Click the "Next" button to continue.
You will be taken to your MetaMask wallet where you can view your accounts, transaction history, and other information.
Step 2: Connect your wallet to OpenSea:
OpenSea is the marketplace where the Highrise LAND can be purchased. Once you have created a Metamask wallet and added funds, you'll need to connect your wallet to OpenSea via a Metamask extension.
Here’s how to connect your wallet to OpenSea:
Visit https://opensea.io/ and click on the image of a wallet that's located in the top right corner of your screen. Press the "Connect Wallet” button.
Choose the Metamask option.
A Metamask popup will show up, press “Next”, and then “Connect”.
Your Metamask wallet should now be connected to OpenSea.
Step 3: Add Funds to Your Metamask Wallet:
To purchase Highrise LAND on OpenSea, you first need to purchase ETH (the crypto currency used to purchase Highrise LAND)
After your wallet has been connected to the OpenSea website (https://opensea.io/), press the wallet icon located at the top right section of your screen and press “Add funds”.
The easiest way to add funds is using the first option: Credit Card. Simply choose how much ETH you want to buy, and follow the on-screen steps to checkout. After purchasing, your funds will be added to your Metamask wallet instantly.
Alternatively, you can purchase ETH directly through MetaMask in some countries, or by using exchange apps such as Coinbase, Gemini, Moonpay, Shakepay, Binance, and Crypto.com.
If you have purchased ETH using one of these alternatives, you will need to transfer the funds from the exchange wallet to your Metamask wallet to be able to use it. The exchange app will offer a transfer option in which you'll be required to input your MetaMask wallet address to send the funds.
Note: Transferring ETH requires a small gas fee to process the transaction. To learn more about gas and gas fees, check out: https://defiprime.com/gas
Step 4: Purchase a Plot of LAND:
Choose the LAND plot that you would like to purchase from the OpenSea marketplace (https://opensea.io/collection/highrise-land). Even if your preferred plot is not listed for sale, you can still submit an offer and the owner can then choose to accept or deny the offer.
Press “Add to cart” then click on the wallet icon shown in the top right section of your screen. From there, choose your preferred payment option and click "Complete Purchase" to instantly buy the LAND parcel. Alternatively, you may click “Make an offer” if you would like to offer a different price to the owner of the LAND parcel. You will be prompted to follow a series of on-screen steps.
⚠️ Unlike Creatures which were launched through Immutable X [a layer two blockchain], false LAND Collections can exist on OpenSea. To ensure you're accessing the correct LAND collection, only use the official link provided above! ⚠️
Step 5: Connect your Metamask wallet to your Highrise account:
In order to be able to see your Slime-blob pet that is connected to your LAND, as well as receive all of the in-game perks and benefits, you'll need to connect your Metamask wallet to your Highrise account.
Head to highrise.game and log in using your usual in-app login credentials for your Highrise account.
Click over on your profile picture in the top right of the navigation bar. Then click on Settings. You’ll see a section called Blockchain, press the Connect Metamask Wallet button.
A Metamask popup will show up, press Sign. After that your Wallet will have been connected successfully.
🎉 Now that you've integrated your crypto wallet, you'll be able to acquire in-game perks and benefits for owning a plot of LAND. This means that you'll be eligible to enter exclusive giveaways, receive random airdrops and even equip your Slime-blob pet to roam the Highrise universe at your side! Your Pet will appear in the first tab of your Highrise clothing inventory.
You will automatically start receiving all of the benefits and perks for owning a plot of LAND for as long as your Metamask wallet containing at least one plot remains connected to your Highrise account.
Note: At this stage in the development of LAND, access to individual plots is not currently available to the owner. However, LAND owners will still acquire various in-game benefits by having their wallet with their LAND asset connected to Highrise!
