# What is Underground Moods

# Step 1 - Create Avalanche wallet

This tutorial presents how to create an Avalanche wallet to interact with the Avalanche X-chain and Kalao (the marketplace we use for our NFTs).

First of all, you have to click on [Avalanche Wallet: Store Your Avalanche Assets (avax.network)](https://wallet.avax.network/) which is the official link of Avalanche wallet website.&#x20;

Then, you will have to choose “**Create a new wallet**”

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FYvnZsMKKjT9QyR1xpgzz%2Fav1.png?alt=media\&token=80e13528-32d1-4de8-bbca-23aef1aba09b)

2\. Then, you will **generate** a **key phrase** which is the most important part of this tutorial.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FrlO3QDz4ywcv6Y0xJRfh%2Fav2_2.png?alt=media\&token=48cec2c8-d9cf-4210-8b8c-560691a3bde4)

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FHg9dR8CnrtCZI5biZ0wm%2Fav3.3.png?alt=media\&token=c794adba-d873-4af9-95a5-fe999eaad39e)

Registering these 24 words is the **most important** step when creating a wallet. **Take your time and double check it**.

*Remember DO NOT share this to anyone and DO NOT save it as an image in your phone or PC.*

3\. Then, you have to confirm you safely wrote your key phrase and click on “**Access Wallet**”.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FhbyIopum2Z3SgYdVz5Sv%2Fav4.4.png?alt=media\&token=62a9953f-b0c9-493a-847d-b7be7bef0541)

4\. The next step is a security step, Avalanche checks if you have registered your Mnemonic Phrase. You must **fill** in all the **blanks** with the correct words (example below with number 9).​

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FcNWsRtdp6tBmIHt7C9eW%2Fav5.5.png?alt=media\&token=12733b00-9841-4a79-92dc-d2f05e8075a0)

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FgHlrzErjoVs1FPCVRGth%2Fav6.6.png?alt=media\&token=d7acb9b5-28cd-4d0c-ade0-3af3b966c529)

5\. Congratulations, you have now access to your Avalanche wallet clicking “**Access Wallet”**.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2Fj2oKrmP8HHX13nc12isS%2Fav7.7.png?alt=media\&token=d1781971-36fe-412a-b4e8-b3a996badda7)

Anytime when accessing your wallet, this will be your first page. You will notice the X (exchange), C (contracts) and P (platform) letters on the top right corner. That’s the **three chains** which exist on Avalanche’s default subnet. Depending on the exchange you bought AVAX, you’ll need to sen*d* AVAX to this wallet via X-Chain or C-Chain address.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2F5opZ9tenjwpjloLDL0lx%2Fav8.9.png?alt=media\&token=c404f3c7-9bd6-463d-b849-2dffddbe6096)


# Step 2 - Set up MetaMask

This tutorial presents how to create a Metamask wallet

1\. First of all, you have to click on <https://metamask.io/> which is the official link of Metamask website. Then, you will have to choose in the “**download**” section your associated browser.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FdBru4Fj7i4Ic7ignEhBT%2Fmeta1.png?alt=media\&token=35555f41-8e93-4964-b925-2ef63269a9b9)

2\. When your extension is set up, you can **Create** a **MetaMask** wallet. Let’s see together all the steps for Chrome.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FjpdOcmHnHtj8OGOXjNum%2Fmeta2.png?alt=media\&token=a3f24c92-1265-43e3-94c2-d7a82c17165f)

3\. If you are reading this step-by-step tutorial, chances are you have never created an account, so select “**Create a Wallet**”.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FHsoTa9ZDF6ZFwTQnAC8N%2Fmeta3.3.png?alt=media\&token=227883d5-3735-448b-93b4-d18ba00e29f6)

4\. You will have to agree that **Metamask** use your data to improve its use.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FpCQ8zHYasJDZrJNBXYQz%2Fmeta4.4.png?alt=media\&token=af62e699-0b66-478d-ac0a-39b6022be04b)

5\. Then, the next step is to set up a **strong password** (more than 8 characters recommended).

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2Fr5jKphskXlAipfil7ZgE%2Fmeta5.5.png?alt=media\&token=a850970f-e153-4e87-b7ce-b5901335e165)

In this example, the password doesn't seem strong enough, so feel free to create one with higher security.

6\. Once your password is set up, the next step is **one of the most crucial**. You will also have the possibility to watch a short video to learn about your **Secret Recovery Phrase** and how to keep your wallet safe. We recommend you to take the time to watch it. Security is never a waste of time.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FSwbNkTqg1B9batj8rsmT%2Fmeta6.6.png?alt=media\&token=f016974a-250b-46f4-9e8f-40349fb1ae4d)

Registering these words is the **most important** step when creating a wallet. **Take your time and double check it**.

7\. Then, you will need to put in the exact same order the 12 words to let **Metamask** know that you saved your seed words which are the keys to recovering your wallet in any case.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FHeYDtLvbD75o1k7ACAVZ%2Fmeta7.7.png?alt=media\&token=2c96f04a-1a54-46cb-ae83-01c9e900276e)

8\. This is the general view of Metamask.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FvuSX4per5qRu6ZAkV2JF%2Fmeta9.9.png?alt=media\&token=c3b736c6-392a-480e-be79-2a1df5cee43c)

You can select or add different network

Here is your ETH adress

9\. You can also access the extension through the shortcut on the right side of your browser.

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2F5iw55lb7wvsU0h4evhyT%2Fmeta10.10.png?alt=media\&token=9029ca25-6678-47c4-9cba-ae49e9ed2251)

# I did not receive NFT after purchase

Thank you for purchasing a item on Underground Moods.&#x20;

If you did not receive any NFTs in this round it means you were too late and the NFTs for the specific release you purchased are gone. Keep your eyes open for the items on the secondary market however.


# I can't see my NFTs in my account

NOTE: Your **Kalao** account is only a window into your crypto wallet, showing all the NFTs inside. **Kalao** does not store any of your items, your account is just providing access to view the transactions in your wallet.

There are 2 common reasons NFTs are not visible on your **Kalao** profile and tips to help remediate :

1\. Your crypto wallet (**Metamask**) is not connected correctly. Close out your browser, clear your cache, and try reconnecting. Do you have more than 1 crypto wallet? If so, make sure you are connecting to the correct wallet.

2\. You just completed a transaction and you don't see the NFT you just purchased. If there is high demand on the Avalanche blockchain, it could take more time to complete the transaction than anticipated.

# What is blockchain

Have you ever wondered what's behind the **blockchain** **technology**?

When two people want to operate a transaction, they usually need a trusted third party, like a bank.

Now, imagine a network that allows **peer-to-peer transactions** which involves only two parties: the **sender** and the **receiver**.

The blockchain technology is a **decentralized**, **distributed** and **transparent** digital ledger that records transactions.

It's a **database** containing the **history** of all exchanges realized between users since its creation.

It stores encrypted blocks of data then chains them together chronologically.

Validators keep their own copy of the ledger and make sure they always agree with the content of the ledger.

That is what blockchain brings us!


# What is Avalanche blockchain

explains what Avalanche blockchain is

**Avalanche** is a unique blockchain that provides **high security**, **speed** and **low-cost** fees transactions. What makes Avalanche a special network? Its mainnet is composed of three blockchains: the **X-Chain**, **C-Chain**, and **P-Chain**. Instead of having one overloaded chain, each blockchain has a specific purpose in the Avalanche ecosystem.&#x20;

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FQPUOCbYDa2mTBApr524l%2Favaz.jpg?alt=media\&token=4a34bd03-353a-4db1-a923-57b783ccbf72)

The X-Chain is used for **managing assets** through the Avalanche consensus protocol. Transactions on the X-Chain generate fees paid in $AVAX. That’s similar to how gas fees on Ethereum are paid in $ETH.

The P-Chain **coordinates validators**. But also, it allows anyone to create a new blockchain called **subnets**.

And the C-Chain is related to **smart contracts** creation which is necessary for **Decentralized** **Applications** (DAPPS) and **Non Fungible Tokens** (NFT). But also, it is **EVM** (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible which means anyone can deploy Ethereum smart contracts on Avalanche.


# What are NFTs

A NFT is a **Non-Fungible Token.**

It is a **unique**, **non-interchangeable** digital asset or a digital ownership if you will.

While exchanging fungible tokens, such as $ETH or $AVAX, will allow you to exchange one similar token to another, NFTs provide notion of **traceability**.

The difference between fungible and non-fungible tokens is that even though you can exchange 1 NFT for another 1 NFT, they will keep their **specific** **parameters** and **be traceable.**

Identifications such as the **author's name**, **creation date**, **description** or any other attribute guarantee **high traceability**.

The creator can also earn **royalties** from his NFT.

It allows artists to sell their works through a **secure system** and users to buy **certified artworks**.

**Digital art** or **collectibles** are common examples.

NFTs can be used to represent objects such as **photos**, **videos**, **music** and other types of **digital files** such as **tickets**.

They allow you to access the **original file**.


# What is metaverse

The term **metaverse** refers to a **virtual** **reality** **world** that resembles the real world we currently live in, but is **computer-generated** and offers endless possibilities for who you want to be and what you can experience.

Related to the **metaverse** we can talk about **virtual reality** (VR) and **augmented reality** (AR).

![](https://2077767498-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFDDCIrOcMj1kfX2gpV0K%2Fuploads%2FfAbEQoy9Inq1Jv3eHinv%2F3d%20gallery5.jpg?alt=media\&token=34c134bc-f5f9-41a0-8dbe-0ae3126d09f8)

But what are they?

**Virtual reality** is the representation of a world in three dimensions. The user does not remain at a distance from the screen, he will dive into the **3D universe**, especially through a VR headset, which will make him interact in this universe.

**Augmented reality** will enrich the real with **virtual elements**, it's a bit like watching an "augmented" version of reality. There can be superimposed information and even the integration of imaginary objects in 3D.


# What is wallet

Explains what a wallet is

**Wallets** allow you to **interact** with the blockchain network.

They **don't actually hold** your funds, but they allow you to **access**, **send** and **receive** cryptocurrencies.

Finally, they are just an interface that allows the user to **store his private keys** in order to access his funds more easily.&#x20;

You can find wallets in different types:

* **Paper wallets** are a printed piece of paper with keys and QR codes on it that can be scanned to make transactions. They can be considered as cold wallets.
* **Hardware wallets**, on the other hand, are physical devices that do not have direct access to the Internet and are therefore a more secure way to store crypto-currencies. They generate and store private keys without any connection to the Internet. In general, they are suitable for those who do not make regular transactions or invest a large amount of money.
* **Software wallets** are non-physical programs that you download to your computer or smartphone. These are web wallets, desktop wallets and mobile wallets. They are connected to the Internet and the user must always make sure that the computer used is not vulnerable to virus and malware. They are often more suitable for those who want quick access to monitor and exchange cryptocurrencies easily.

# What is staking

describes what staking means

With staking, holders can essentially lock up their NFTs on a given blockchain for a period of time and earn rewards for doing it in the form of regular payments of a certain token that can be accumulate&#x64;**.**

Generally, **staking is one of the many ways to earn passive income in the crypto space considered safe, highly rewarding, and low investment risk**


# What is breeding

describing what breeding NFTs means

"Breeding" in NFT terms, means the the ability to create your own NFTs once you invest in an NFT that can be bred. Usually this means combining two NFTs to get a new one from a higher level/layer. Breeding systems is often seen in NFT games.
