If you do not, we recommend purchasing ETH or USDC on Coinbase and then sending it to your Metamask wallet.
(Funds may take up to 30 minutes to transfer)
If you do not know how to send cryptocurrency from Coinbase to your Metamask wallet, refer to this video for the step-by-step process.
Once you have successfully transferred your ETH or USDC to your Metamask wallet, you must transfer it to the Matic(Polygon) Mainnet network. If you already have ETH or USDC (or other ERC-20 cryptocurrencies) in your Metamask wallet on the Matic(Polygon) Mainnet network, you can skip to Step 4.
If you do not, send your ETH or USDC from the Ethereum network to the Polygon network using this Polygon bridge:
Enter the amount of ETH or USDC that you want to transfer and click "Transfer." Complete any Metamask prompts to complete the process.
(Note: ETH funds will transfer into WETH on the Polygon network)
Once you send your funds over the bridge, you will need to add the appropriate token address to your Metamask wallet on the Matic(Polygon) Mainnet network to access them.
To do this, open your Metamask wallet and make sure you are on the Matic(Polygon) Network:
Next, click "Add Token" under the Assets tab:
You will then be prompted with this page:
On this page, paste the appropriate token address into the box that says "Token Contract Address"
WETH token address (Polygon): 0x7ceb23fd6bc0add59e62ac25578270cff1b9f619
USDC token address (Polygon): 0x2791bca1f2de4661ed88a30c99a7a9449aa84174
Once you paste the appropriate token address and fill out the info on the page, click "Next" and then click "Add Tokens."
You should now be able to see your WETH or USDC balance in your Metamask wallet on the Matic(Polygon) Mainnet network under the "Assets" tab (may take up to 30 mins).
After you successfully send WETH or USDC to your Matic(Polygon) Mainnet network on Metamask, navigate to this SushiSwap link:
When you arrive at the link, make sure to connect your Metamask wallet to the Matic(Polygon) Mainnet network if it isn't already:
You will then be prompted to import the AX coin address into SushiSwap. Simply click "Import" to do this:
In case you need to manually enter the AX token address, paste in: 0x5617604BA0a30E0ff1d2163aB94E50d8b6D0B0Df
Once AX is loaded in the bottom block, select WETH or USDC in the top block:
Next, enter the amount of WETH USDC that you want to purchase AX with and click "Swap." Review your transaction and click "Confirm Swap."
If the transaction fails, you may need to increase the slippage to 10% in the settings in the top right corner:
Once you confirm the swap, you may have to wait a moment for the transaction to complete. Then choose to add AX to your Metamask wallet. Confirm any Metamask prompts that pop up:
Congrats! You have just purchased AX Coin.
(Note: transactions may take up to 10 minutes to complete)
If you are unable to view your AX in your Metamask wallet, no worries. Simply follow the instructions below to access your AX.
