# How to buy

**Monkex** tokens are best purchased with **Ethereum** through **TheHerculesDEX**.\
\
Monkex is a decentralised deflationary currency and, as such, we always incentivize the use of DEXs. Hercules is one of the best to do that!

## Quick start guide

**Create MetaMask wallet**\
\
Create a [MetaMask](https://metamask.io) wallet using either a desktop computer or an iOS/Android mobile device. That will allow you to buy, sell, send, and receive Monkex token.

**Add Andromeda network**\
\
Open your MetaMask wallet go to "Settings" and tap "Add Network". Follow parameters below or use [chainlist.org](https://chainlist.org/chain/1088) to add it automatically.\
\
Network name: Metis Andromeda network\
New RPC URL: <https://andromeda-explorer.metis.io/\\>
ChainID: 1088\
Symbol: Metis\
Block explorer URL: <https://andromeda-explorer.metis.io/>

**Send Metis to your wallet**\
\
You can buy Metis directly on MetaMask or transfer it to your MetaMask wallet from exchanges like Binance! Make sure to use the Andromeda network when transfering Metis.

**Connect to TheHerculesDEX and click approve**\
\
Acces your wallet to Hercules by cliclick "Connect to a wallet" and selecting MetaMask. Press "Approve" and sign the transaction. You will find Monkex token on Hercules default menu.

**Swap Metis for Monkex**\
\
You can start swapping as soon as you have Metis available!
