## How to buy a token with DEX (Phantom | Raydium | Jupiter)

If you're new to decentralized finance (DeFi) and looking to buy $TIME, this tutorial will guide you through the steps. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure a smooth and secure experience.

#### Step 1: SET UP YOUR WALLET <a href="#step-1-set-up-your-wallet" id="step-1-set-up-your-wallet"></a>

First, you need **a crypto wallet**. We recommend using this one, which you can get here: [Phantom Wallet](https://phantom.app/). Phantom is available as a mobile app or a browser extension.

**Creating your wallet**

* **Download and Install:** Follow the instructions to download and install Phantom on your device.
* **Create a New Wallet:** You'll receive a seed phrase and a security key during setup. **NEVER SHARE THESE WITH ANYONE!** Keep them safe and secure, because if you lose them, you lose access to your wallet and all its contents. Also, set up a password, you'll use it occasionally.

<mark style="color:red;">**Also, never interact with any random thing (token, coin, NFT) that appears on your wallet, as it's also dangerous to interact with!**</mark>

#### Step 2: FUND YOUR WALLET WITH $SOL <a href="#step-2-fund-your-wallet-with-usdsol" id="step-2-fund-your-wallet-with-usdsol"></a>

You need **$SOL (Solana)** in your wallet to buy $TIME.

**Getting Your Wallet Address**

* Open your Phantom wallet.
* Copy your wallet address (a long string of characters). This is where you'll receive your $SOL.&#x20;

Here are the wallet addresses you use to receive tokens (Every address is for 1 type, like USD, EUR, etc.)

**Buying $SOL**

This option makes sense if you are uncomfortable with Centralized Exchanges or there is no $TIME available. Otherwise, it is better to buy $TIME there!

You can purchase $SOL through various exchanges (CEX) or platforms that support Solana. If you're unsure, using a centralized exchange (CEX) like Binance or Coinbase might be easier.

* **Buy $SOL** on an exchange.
* **Withdraw $SOL** to your Phantom wallet using your wallet address. You can use Coinbase Pay inside of Phantom Wallet to buy $SOL quickly if you have a Coinbase account!

#### Step 3: CONNECT YOUR WALLET TO A DEX <a href="#step-3-connect-your-wallet-to-a-dex" id="step-3-connect-your-wallet-to-a-dex"></a>

Next, you must connect your Phantom wallet to a decentralized exchange (DEX) such as [Raydium](https://raydium.io/) or [Jupiter](https://jup.ag/). This lets you swap $SOL for $TIME directly within your wallet.

**Connecting to a DEX**

* **If you use a browser extension, you can just enter the websites and connect them to your wallet.**

Just click "Connect Wallet" if you have Wallet in Browser

* **If you use a mobile device, you can enter the websites within the wallet.**

1. Open your Phantom wallet.
2. Navigate to the DEX section or go to Raydium or Jupiter's website.

Tap on these and Connect wallet, after that, you can use the Swap option.

1. Connect your wallet by tapping the "Connect Wallet" option.

#### Step 4: Swap $SOL for $TIME <a href="#step-4-swap-usdsol-for-usdbeercoin" id="step-4-swap-usdsol-for-usdbeercoin"></a>

**Option 1: DEX Interface Swap**

One of the ways to get $TIME is to use the swap option available on the DEX.

**Swapping Tokens**

* In the DEX interface, select $SOL as the token you want to swap.
* Enter "TIME" or the **token address** for $TIME: **`B6h248NJkAcBAkaCnji889a26tCiGXGN8cxhEJ4dX391`** to find $TIME.
* Complete the swap! Now you have your $TIME!

**Option 2: Phantom Wallet Swap (May not work right after token appearance on the market)**

Another way to get $TIME is to use the swap option in the wallet itself!

* In the wallet, tap on a "Swap" option!

<figure><img src="/files/pWeFgykhmCns0kuli0af" alt="" width="157"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Select $SOL as the token you want to swap.
* Enter "$TIME" or the **token address** for $TIME: **ED5wbeyAYtLM4WRGnohPxJEwniaikEFioVmJyZH6K31m** to find $TIME.
* Complete the swap! Now you have your $TIME!

Here is the list of official aggregators where $TIME can be purchased before CEX listings:

1. [Jupiter](https://jup.ag/)🐱
2. [Raydium](https://raydium.io/swap/)💜
3. [Phantom Wallet](https://phantom.app/)👻

**WARNING!**

**DO NOT SEND ANYTHING TO THE TOKEN ADDRESS DIRECTLY!** This address is only for identifying the token in the DEX. Sending tokens directly to this address will result in a permanent loss of your assets.

By following these steps, you'll be able to purchase $TIME safely and securely. Enjoy your journey into Crypto and the $TIME community!
