Beginners Guide to Buying Stars

Mogul Productions - Beginners Guide to Buying Stars

Welcome everyone to Mogul’s ecosystem.  We are the NFT marketplace platform for the film and entertainment industry.  Over the years Mogul has cultivated its team and technology to give you the best experience.  Each day Mogul develops exciting products infused with a strong community spirit.

With so many exciting products from film and entertainment in Mogul’s marketplace, new fans and collectors join our ecosystem daily.

The STARS token is our native cryptocurrency.  STARS allows users to take part in our NFT drops and get involved in the community.  Fans and collectors who wish to buy NFTs on the Mogul platform will need STARS to do so.   It’s used for staking, voting, governance and ownership.

STARS is acquired in two ways. First, by buying/swapping them. Second is by earning them in your smart wallet for staking during voting periods.

This guide to help get you on your way to attaining STARS so you can participate in upcoming NFT drops.

For these walkthroughs, we are using a web browser, not a smart phone.

Go to Mogul’s Marketplace page. The button is located on the top right hand of the Mogul Productions home page.

Here is the link.  https://my.mogulproductions.com/platform/dashboard

Click on Connect Wallet on the top left hand corner

Mogul Productions Connect Your Wallet

First, you need a crypto wallet such as MetaMask, or have a stored account on MEXC or BitMart, part of the approved exchanges on Mogul’s website.

Setting up your MetaMask Wallet

Go to Mogul’s STARS page  https://www.mogulproductions.com/stars

After clicking on Connect Wallet on the top left hand corner, select MetaMask and connect our wallet.

This video will explain briefly what MetMask is and how it works.    https://youtu.be/YVgfHZMFFFQ

If you do not have a MetaMask wallet already then you must install it.

To do that, go to https://metamask.io/download/  and select the option that applies to you and follow the instructions.

Squirrel will prompt you to watch a security video Before getting started, watch this short video to learn about your Secret Recovery Phrase and how to keep your wallet safe.

Mogul Productions - Metamask - Secure Your Wallet

Your secret recovery phrase is your master key.  Don’t lose it. It’s a series of 12 words which are generated when you first set up MetaMask.  It allows you to recover your wallet and funds if you ever lose access.  It’s important that you secure your wallet by keeping your secret recovery phrase very safe and secret.  If anyone gets access to it they will have the master key to your wallet and can freely access and take all of your funds.

To secure your MetaMask wallet you’ll want to safely save your secret recovery phrase. Nobody including the team at MetaMask can help you recover your wallet if you lose your secret recovery phrase. If you haven’t written down your secret recovery phrase and stored it somewhere safe, do it ASAP.  Do not share your recovery phrase with anyone, including MetaMask.  If anyone ever asks you for it, they are trying to scam you.

Once you have successfully stored your recovery phrase click “Next.”

MetaMask ask you to drag and drop the list of 12 keywords from your recovery phrase into the correct order by clicking on them in the correct order.  If you accidentally put then in the wrong order, you can drag and drop them in the proper order.
