# How To Buy CAT on DEX (BNB Chain) ### Step 1: Choose a Wallet You’ll need a digital wallet to store and manage your CAT tokens. We recommend the following wallets that support BNB Chain (BSC): * **MetaMask** (Desktop & Mobile) - Popular and easy to use * **Trust Wallet** (Mobile) - Secure and beginner-friendly * **Binance Wallet** (Desktop & Mobile) - Great for users already familiar with Binance * **Rabby Wallet** (Deskstop) - Great features for new and experienced users Tip: Make sure you download wallets only from their official websites or app stores to avoid scams. ### Step 2: Install MetaMask (Example for Desktop) **1. Visit the MetaMask Website** Go to the official[ MetaMask website](https://metamask.io/) and click “Download.” Choose the version compatible with your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, etc.). **2. Add the Extension** Install the MetaMask extension to your browser by following the prompts. **3. Create a New Wallet** Once installed, open MetaMask by clicking the extension icon. Select “Create a Wallet” and follow the instructions. **4. Backup Your Seed Phrase** MetaMask will give you a 12-word secret recovery phrase. Write this down somewhere safe. This phrase is the key to your wallet, and losing it means you will lose access to your funds. ### Step 3: Connect MetaMask to BNB Chain MetaMask is set up for Ethereum by default, but since CAT is on the BNB Chain, you’ll need to switch networks. Here’s how to add the BNB Chain (BSC) network: **1. Open MetaMask and Click on Your Profile Icon** In the top-right corner, click the circular profile icon, then choose “Settings.” **2. Add BNB Chain to MetaMask** If BSC does not appear in the popular list, you can add it manually in “Settings,” select Networks → Add Network and input the following details: * Network Name: BNB Smart Chain (or BSC) * New RPC URL: * Chain ID: 56 * Symbol: BNB * Block Explorer URL: After entering these, click “Save.” **3. Switch to the BNB Chain Network** Once saved, click the network dropdown at the top of the MetaMask window and select “BNB Smart Chain.” ### Step 4: Fund Your Wallet with BNB You’ll need BNB (the native currency of the BNB Chain) to pay for transaction fees (also called gas fees). Here’s how to get BNB into your wallet: **1. Buy BNB on an Exchange** Purchase BNB on a popular exchange like Binance, Coinbase, or any exchange that supports BNB. **2. Send BNB to Your Wallet** Once you’ve bought BNB, withdraw it to your MetaMask wallet. To do this: * Copy your wallet address from MetaMask (you’ll find it at the top of the wallet screen). * Go to the exchange, paste your wallet address, and confirm the withdrawal. Note: Always double-check that you’re withdrawing BNB on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) network otherwise you will lose your funds if you send it to a wrong network. ### Step 5: Add Simon’s Cat Token (CAT) to Your Wallet To see your CAT tokens in MetaMask, you’ll need to add the token manually. **1. Open MetaMask and Switch to BNB Chain** Ensure you’re on the BNB Chain by selecting it from the network dropdown in MetaMask. **2. Click on “Import Tokens”** Scroll down to the bottom of the assets list in MetaMask and click “Import Tokens.” **3. Add the CAT Contract Address** In the “Token Contract Address” field, enter CAT contract address (BNB Chain version): * Token Contract Address: 0x6894CDe390a3f51155ea41Ed24a33A4827d3063D * Token Symbol: CAT * Decimals of Precision: 18 (or as per the token’s settings) **4. Click “Add Custom Token”** Once added, you’ll see CAT in your wallet. ### Step 6: Swap BNB for CAT Now that your wallet is ready and funded with BNB, it’s time to swap it for CAT. **1. Go to a Decentralized Exchange (DEX)** Visit a DEX like PancakeSwap ([https://pancakeswap.finance](https://pancakeswap.finance/)), which supports tokens on the BNB Chain. **2. Connect Your Wallet** On PancakeSwap, click “Connect Wallet” and choose MetaMask (or your chosen wallet). **3. Swap BNB for CAT** In the trading section, select BNB as the input token and CAT as the output token. Enter the amount of BNB you want to swap and confirm the transaction. **4. Confirm in MetaMask** MetaMask will prompt you to confirm the transaction and pay a small gas fee in BNB. Once approved, the CAT tokens will appear in your MetaMask wallet. ### Step 7: Store Your CAT tokens Safely Your CAT tokens are now in your wallet! Keep your seed phrase secure and never share it with anyone. Consider using a hardware wallet for added security if you hold large amounts of tokens. *** **Need Help?** If you have any trouble setting up your wallet or getting CAT, feel free to reach out to our community on Telegram for support! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
