{% hint style="info" %}

* ***Minting geoNFTs are mobile only - you can still view, buy or sell already minted NFTs via the desktop version.***
* ***MetaMask users on Android devices - please use the native phone browser to connect your Metamask wallet via Wallet Connect, as location services are disabled on MetaMask browser***
  {% endhint %}

## Explore Lost Worlds

Explore the app freely. When you are within the radius of a drop, you will be eligible to mint the geoNFT(s) at that drop. State, Country and Global drops do not show a radius. You can use the scrollable list to see what geoNFT drops you are currently in range for, including allowlisted or token gated drops.

## Connect a Wallet

A wallet is what you use to purchase geoNFTs. You won't need to connect a wallet until you are ready to buy or mint one. We currently support MetaMask, Paper, and all wallets supported by WalletConnect. &#x20;

#### Create a New Wallet (in less than 30 seconds)

If you do not have a wallet on your mobile device and/or you are new to web 3, we provide an email-based wallet solution that takes less than 30 seconds to create.&#x20;

When prompted to connect your wallet, simply press "Continue With Email" and follow the instructions. You will be provided a link via email that will allow you to access a wallet that you completely control via your email. You can also use this wallet as your NFT only wallet.&#x20;

#### Purchase NFTs with Card or Apple Pay via Paper Wallet

If you created, or signed in with a Paper wallet, you are given the additional option to purchase NFTs on your phone with credit card or Apple Pay. Simply follow the instructions provided at mint.&#x20;

#### Purchasing LOST tokens&#x20;

Some projects are "Mint in LOST" projects, meaning you will need to have the LOST token to mint them. You can purchase LOST tokens on the following exchanges:\
\
