By now we know that a DAO on Astro can do the same things just like a normal NEAR wallet. And NEAR wallets can buy NFTs.
How To Buy A Mintbase NFT Through The MarmaJ DAO
Especially, as the MarmaJ DAO will buy 3xr galleries with the theme of love and positivity with a value of 2.19N which have been minted through the MarmaJ DAO. You can find a guide for hot to mint a gallery through the DAO here.
To get started you will need 2 things:
- The DAO that will buy your NFT.
- The NFT and its token in the JSON code that you want the DAO to buy.
1. Open Astro DAO – make sure your pop-up blocker is deactivated for this website – and log in with your nearname by clicking on the N on the top right corner.
2. Connect to your wallet.
3. As you are logged in to Astro now, find the DAO that you would like the NFT to buy. In our case, we will use the MarmaJ DAO. You can find all the DAOs by entering their name in the search field. Click on the DAO that you would like to buy the NFT.
Time To Get Your NFT
1. Open Mintbase and choose the NFT you would want to buy. In our case, we will use a 3xr gallery that we minted. You will find it in your “owned” section on Mintbase. If you would like to know how to mint one first. Have a look here. Click on the NFT you would like to be collected by the DAO.
2. You can now see the data you will need to propose to the DAO:
The store that it is in (in our case letsbbcre8iv.mintbase1.near)
The token ID (288)
3. Return to Astro to create your function call. Make sure to pick the DAO you want to mint and click on the green “+” sign.
4. Click on the little arrow next to “Propose a Transfer” and pick “Custom Function Call”.
5. Click on the arrow next to “Custom” and choose “Buy NFT from Mintbase”.
6. Now create your custom function call by adding the following information:
- Description: Short text which includes NFT link and price; for example “Buying a 3xr gallery; spreading the love. Price 2.19N;”
- External link: Add the Mintbase link from the gallery so the council can have a look before voting
- Token key: Combination of token ID and store address separated by a “:” (see step 2) (in our case 288:letsbbcre8iv.mintbase1.near)
- Deposit: The price of the NFT (in our case 2.19N)
- Tgas: (Next to “bond”) change it to 100.
Important for DAOs who vote: The last voter on this proposal needs to change the Tgas to 300 in order to cast the vote.
7. Click on propose on the bottom right corner.
8. You will be redirected to your wallet. “Approve” the transaction to send the custom function call to the DAO.
9. Here is the proposal to the DAO to buy this NFT. When the council votes, you can see the “approved” stamp and the number of votes.
10. Once the DAO council has approved, the NFT be automatically bought by the DAO and will be visible in the “NFT” section in the DAO.
