Buy an NFT

Browse a collection, sign once, settle in a few seconds.

Buying an NFT on Arkena is one signature. The wallet shows you the price, the fees, and the total — you confirm, the order settles atomically on Canton, and the NFT lands in your gallery.

  1. Find an item

    Browse a collection on arkena.io. Filter by trait or sort by price; open any listed item to see its detail page.

  2. Open the order

    Click Buy now on the detail page. The wallet popup opens with an itemised summary: the NFT, what you pay in CC, and how that price is split between the seller, the marketplace, and the creator. The marketplace fee and creator royalty are deducted from the listed price — you never pay more than what you see on the listing.

  3. Confirm

    Read the summary, then click Approve. The wallet signs once. The backend then settles the trade as a single atomic transaction on Canton — your CC moves to the seller, the NFT moves to you, the fees move to their respective recipients, all in the same step.

When things don't work

  • Price changed. Someone else bought the item or the seller updated the listing in the few seconds between your page load and your click. Refresh and try again.
  • Insufficient balance. Your CC balance is below price + fees. Top up before retrying.
  • Signing rejected. You clicked Reject in the wallet popup, or the popup auto-closed. Click Buy now again.
