Where can I buy SOM Crypto?
You can buy Somnium on PancakeSwap.
Why should you buy Somnium?
Binance Smart Chain has been gaining a lot of traction lately. The main motivation for this is the very low fees that it offers. Ethereum gas fees are way beyond acceptable. I've seen transaction fees of 100$+ in Uniswap, and nobody wants to pay that. Ethereum 2.0 has been in the works for years now, and there is still no solution for these absurd gas fees on the Ethereum Network.
Somnium is amongst the best projects on BSC.The roadmap is incredibly promising and if the dev team can keep up with the with it, it's only a matter of time for the market to catch up. It's a very risky play but one that can yield amazing profits. Do you own diligence and research the project further so you can make your own decision.
How to Buy Somnium Crypto?
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 Binance Smart Chain, we'll need to add the Network. I'll go over this very quickly. If you need a more in-depth tutorial for this part, you can check out Binance's tutorial right here.
Click on the upper right corner where you see the image and then click Settings. Select Networks and click on Add Network.
