### Chain?&#x20;

Even though the NFTs are minted on the Cardano blockchain, you don't need a Cardano wallet to participate!&#x20;

Our service provider, NMKR Pay, allows us to accept normal credit cards and a number of other cryptocurrencies.&#x20;

For those not using Cardano in the checkout, your DirectEd Lion will be accessed through the [Crossmint](https://www.crossmint.com/) platform from which you can transfer it to your personal Cardano wallet at a later point (NOT exchanges).
