How to Buy BENQI Liquid Staked AVAX Crypto (SAVAX)

Step 1 - Setting up a Metamask Wallet

Metamask is by far the most used walled in the world of Ethereum. Whenever you want to buy and sell cryptocurrencies or even use blockchain apps that run on the Ethereum Network, Metamask will be your best friend. Setting up the wallet is also very simple and easy.

Head over to metamask.io and click Download. You'll need to use Google Chrome, Brave Browser, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge for this to work. So make sure you are using one of these four browsers. Now at the end of the page, click on the browser you're using and install the extension.

You are now the Welcome Page of Metamask. Click on 'Get Started.' Now click on 'Create a Wallet.' Choose a strong password for your Metamask wallet and continue.

Very Important Part! Keeping your backup phrase safe is the difference between having millions in your account or be that guy on the landfill looking for his old hard drive.

Click on reveal your backup phrase and write every word down on paper. Make sure you don't save your backup phrase on anything digital. This is for your security. After you wrote down your backup phrase, you'll be asked to confirm it. Click on every word in the correct order, and you should be done.

Now since we are using the Avalanche Chain, we’ll need to add the Network. I’ll go over this very quickly. Just go over to https://snowtrace.io/.

Bottom right corner click here:

Accept everything on your Metamask and you should have your Polygon Network configured and the network switched to it.

Alternatively you can add the network manually like this:

Click on the upper right corner where you see the image and then click Settings. Select Networks and click on Add Network.

Fill out the boxes with this info:

• Network Name:Avalanche Network
• New RPC URL: https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc
• Chain ID: 43114
• Symbol: AVAX
• Block Explorer URL: https://snowtrace.io/

Click Save, and now you have Avax installed on your Metamask.

Step 2 - Buy Avax on Simpleswap

You can now choose between Google Pay or card to complete the payment:
