Preparing For Contribution

Let's get started! To be all set for contributions, you have to setup your MetaMask correctly and have enough amount of tokens on it.

📌 STEP 1. SETTING UP METAMASK

All contribution are conducted through one MetaMask wallet, which is synchronized with your personal account. MetaMask compatible with Google Chrome, Firefox, Brave or Edge website browser. We recommend using Chrome.

Below you'll find step-by-step instructions for creating, setting up MetaMask and adding new chain (all fundraises currently take place on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network). Complete them all and move to the next step.


✔️ Chrome Extension ✔️ Setting Up Instruction ✔️ Adding BSC to MetaMask


📌 STEP 2. TOP UP YOUR WALLET

To participate in the fundraising, you will need to top up your MetaMask with BNB tokens (payment of commissions) and USDT (purchase of tokens).

To conduct transactions and pay a commission, a small amount in the network's native token is required. For the BSC network, this is the BNB token. Commissions in the BSC network are low ($0.30-0.60), but this must be taken into account before participating in the fundraising.

✅ Signing up to Binance. To top up the MetaMask wallet with BNB tokens, we will use the Binance exchange. You can use other exchanges like Gate, Huobi, FTX if you prefer.

✔️ Sign up to Binance ✔️ Verify identity

✅ Buying crypto. Next, consider the process of buying any cryptocurrency on the Binance exchange. There are several ways to buy, but at the start, the most common is to buy using a debit/credit card.

✔️ How to Buy Crypto with Credit/Debit Card

The amount to buy depends on your preferences, but we recommend having at least 0.1 BNB for commissions at the start.

You can see the purchased cryptocurrency by selecting the “Fiat and Spot” item in the “Wallet” drop-down menu.

✅ Withdrawal crypto to MetaMask. Now that you bought crypto, you have to withdraw it to your MetaMask. Let's make it in several steps:

🔸 Click on "Withdraw" button

🔸 On the next page in the “Address” field, paste the address of your MetaMask. Where to find it? In MetaMask by clicking on the name of the Account, the address is copied automatically. Check if the entered address is correct!

🔸 The network should appear automatically, if not, choose BSC BEP-20. Enter the desired amount and click "Withdraw".

🔸 Check the correctness of the entered data and confirm the transfer.

🔸 Soon your BNB will be credited to MetaMask.

To top up your wallet with USDT tokens, you need to repeat the previous steps, but with USDT token. The network for withdrawal remains BSC.

📌 STEP 3. GET READY FOR FUNDRAISING!

Now that you have your MetaMask ready, you're able to make contributions in any project in the personal cabinet. Read this article with personal cabinet overview and contribution process.

All the information is announced about projects including minimum/maximum contribution amount and total raise. So we recommend to top up your MetaMask wallet beforehand to avoid wasting time during fundraising process.
