How To Buy $ELMT Using UniSwap and MetaMask
(This is not the ONLY way to buy ELEMENT, but currently the easiest).
1) Set Up A Metamask Wallet
$ELMT is currently listed on Uniswap, which is a decentralized exchange. You need to connect a wallet to Uniswap to complete your purchase. Metamask is a web3 wallet that you can use to buy and store your digital assets.
Metamask is a self-custodial wallet where you hold the private keys (also known as a seed recovery phrase). Make sure you write these down and save them in a safe and secure location.
2) Get ETH in your Metamask Wallet
ETH is the cryptocurrency Ethereum and is the native currency of the Ethereum Network. You will need ETH in your Metamask Wallet to purchase your $ELEMENT as well as to pay any applicable gas fees, which are the network and service fees.
If you already have ETH in another wallet or on a different exchange, you can transfer it to your Metamask Wallet.
If you do not have any ETH already, there are multiple different ways and platforms to be able to do this but you need to transfer US Dollars into Crypto. Metamask allows you to do this through MoonPay or Coinbase using a Debit Card.
3) Connect your Metamask Wallet to Uniswap
If you're doing this on a desktop, your Metamask will be a browser extension. While on app.uniswap.org, click on Connect in the top right of the window and Connect the Wallet.
