🦄Uniswap

Uniswap is a leading decentralized crypto exchange that runs on the Ethereum blockchain.

The ETH blockchain has quite expensive transaction fees, so we recommend using this method only for big investments.

XCAD can be traded on Uniswap without needing to create an account like you would have to on an exchange.

Step 1. Create a wallet

To trade on Uniswap, you will need a wallet on the Ethereum Network. There is many Popular wallets out there, some of the most popular being “TrustWallet” or “Metamask”.

Creating a wallet is very simple, for this example, we are going to use Metamask, which is a browser extension that can be added to multiple different browsers, the most popular being google chrome. To add Metamask as a Google Chrome extension, click here to visit the official chrome store link. It is also available in other browsers like Firefox. You can download it from your phone’s app store by just searching “Metamask” in the search filters.

Once you have added the wallet to your browser or downloaded it on your phone, simply create your account. Bear in mind you will be given an account seed phrase. Do NOT share this phrase with anyone or it will give them access to your account.

Step 2. Add funds

From Exchange

The first way you can add funds to your Metamask is by withdrawing it from an exchange. Simply go to the withdrawal page of your exchange and choose which token you want to withdraw. In order to buy XCAD on Uniswap, we recommend withdrawing USDT as this is XCADs pairing.

You will also need to withdraw Ether from the Exchange (unless you already have some) into Metamask to pay for the network’s gas fees.

Please be careful when withdrawing funds that you select the right network (Ethereum or ERC20 typically). If you choose the wrong network you risk losing assets.

To get your wallet address, simply click the address at the top of the wallet to copy the address. See below to see where this is.

Via Credit/Debit card

You can also add funds to Metamask via your credit/debit card also. This method is very quick and simple for those of you who have not got an exchange to purchase or withdraw funds from.

Firstly, click the “Buy” option on Metmask which is circled above. From here it will take you to a page asking you to choose between 3 options. We recommend choosing the 2nd option which is to buy crypto with Transak.

Once you click the Transak option, you will be taken to a page asking you to fill in your details and the amount you would like to purchase. We recommend purchasing both USDT to buy XCAD & ETH to pay for the translation fees. When your payment is complete, the crypto will be deposited into your account.

Step 3. Swap for XCAD

Firstly, go Uniswap here This will automatically put the pair of XCAD & USDT into the trade boxes (feel free to use our publicly available contract addresses for verification and extra safety)

On the right-hand side, input the amount of USDT you want to spend on XCAD. After you are happy with the amount you have inputted, you will be asked to approve the buy. This will bring a pop-up in your Metamask wallet asking you to pay the gas fees for this transaction.

Once you pay the fees, the transaction will go through and then Uniswap will give you the ability to swap your tokens. After you agree to swap you will have to pay another gas fee. Once the gas fee is paid, you will finally have your XCADs!
