There are many Tezos NFT sites such as Fxhash.xyz and objkt.com. These sites allow collectors to mint generative NFTs and collect/trade NFTs via the secondary market. Temple wallet allows users to easily import accounts from other Tezos wallets and migrate funds seamlessly.
Once you start collecting and minting Tezos NFTs, they will appear under the “collectibles” section in Temple Wallet.
Temple Wallet allows you to send/receive NFTs as well. Since the wallet is connected to Ledger, you will have to sign the transactions with your Ledger device.
