We HAVE to move our PYR | MATIC into the PYR MARKET WALLET (this enables users to interact with the marketplace) So we have created a smart contract where you move your **PYR to the PYR MARKET WALLET (1:1 ratio)** and use this to bid which is instant. You can then move your **MARKET WALLET BALANCE** back to **PYR main wallet** when you like. To move **PYR | MATIC** into **MARKET WALLET**, simply go to your **MARKETPLACE** **WALLET** (Different than your VuclanForged Wallet) by going to your profile picture, and selecting **MY WALLET** from the **MARKETPLACE.** ![](https://1750173408-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS7ODCinwdmpIKx8GKX%2F-MksCXjMzhQs-RKzLIHF%2F-MksDr2bRI707hIooBEi%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=8ce51d9f-f375-417d-8d21-0a00dc6785e8) Your **MARKETPLACE WALLET** contains two tokens your **PYR** Which are the same as the **PYR | MATIC MAIN WALLET** from your account, and your **MARKET WALLET** that holds any converted **PYR** you may have, to transact and bid with ![](https://1750173408-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS7ODCinwdmpIKx8GKX%2F-MksCXjMzhQs-RKzLIHF%2F-MksDzs-EWNFZbxLN0gv%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=4f2d7fd0-58b4-4111-9fea-95595e3e95f1) To move any amount of **PYR** to **the market wallet** Simply enter the amount of **PYR** you wish to move in the right side box and select T**ransfer Now** To move any amount of **PYR** back into **PYR main wallet**, simply enter the amount of **PYR** you wish to transfer in the left side box, and select **Transfer Now** For security purposes, VulcanForged will ask you to enter your pin code and Two Factor Code to swap funds.

The first is through the **BIDDING PROCESS** and the other is the immediate **BUY NOW** The NFT owner sets the minimum he’s willing to accept for the item as the **BID PRICE**, what he would like to receive for the item as the **BUY NOW PRICE,** and how long he is willing to wait for the auction to close as the **EXPIRY DATE** If you’re not familiar with the bidding process, it works like this 1. You commit your **PYR**, for the amount in the **BID PRICE (**The fire will be removed from your balance and be held until the auction closes) 2. Before the auction expires, anyone else is able to enter a price, higher than the lowest bid price, in whatever interval amount the auction owner sets. 3. When the auction comes to an end, the highest bid gets awarded the **NFT**, and all other bids get their **PYR** returned to their accounts ![](https://1750173408-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS7ODCinwdmpIKx8GKX%2F-MksCXjMzhQs-RKzLIHF%2F-MksES83yB5aQjem_hAg%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=dde21d94-59c7-4c4b-afcb-9682c63dec8f) If you want to enter a bid, you enter it in the BID price box and select Place Bid NOTE: If you want to use the Auto-bid feature, you may also enter a number in the box for maximum auto bid, that will automatically place bids in your name up to your maximum amount if anyone bids higher than you If you are happy with the price you just select **Buy Now with PYR** If you select the Buy Now option, you’ll receive a confirmation message ![](https://1750173408-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS7ODCinwdmpIKx8GKX%2F-MksCXjMzhQs-RKzLIHF%2F-MksEU_PYfqGEgkiizNW%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=13344116-bf21-46bd-be96-afb9df1ec8bf) Once you accept, it will process your request, and you should receive your brand new **NFT** You can verify that you have received your NFT by selecting MY ITEMS from the User Menu on the upper right-hand corner ![](https://1750173408-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS7ODCinwdmpIKx8GKX%2F-MksCXjMzhQs-RKzLIHF%2F-MksEWvQBU7MYEkYjVdf%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=501b2d9e-2dcc-4f83-8310-af8a2cec3a37) Your item will appear in your collection. ![](https://1750173408-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS7ODCinwdmpIKx8GKX%2F-MksCXjMzhQs-RKzLIHF%2F-MksEZME_fnTa89PHG0l%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=4b6918b0-a1eb-44db-bac0-9cc625920f2f) You may see the item details associated with your NFT by selecting **View Item Detail** under the NFT you wish to view. ![](https://1750173408-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS7ODCinwdmpIKx8GKX%2F-MksCXjMzhQs-RKzLIHF%2F-MksEah3pvsLtbACWKxZ%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3ac0d96e-acf2-41eb-9697-6bb93a134f84) Item Details include * NFT Name * Token ID * DappID * Current Owner (will be your Vechain address) * Edition * Level * PYR staked * Amongst a few others CONGRATULATIONS, YOU SHOULD NOW BE THE OWNER OF A **VULCAN FORGED NFT!**\ \ The marketplace can be found at
