This guide will show you how to purchase the Alongside Crypto Market Index (AMKT) using Metamask, a popular Ethereum wallet. When you're ready to start trading, here are the steps you need to take:
First, open Metamask, set up a new wallet by following the instructions (make sure to keep your private key) and ensure your wallet is funded with Ether (ETH). Metamask will guide you through this step, but if you need additional help you can refer to our guide on how to buy Ether.
Once ETH has been added, you can buy AMKT with Ether two ways, either clicking the “Buy” button in Metamask and using Transak - inputting the amount of AMKT you want to buy, and then clicking “Confirm Buy”. After you have confirmed your purchase, Metamask will inform you when the transaction is complete.
The other option is to "Swap" your ETH for AMKT. To do this, click the “Swap” button and select the token you want to swap for AMKT. Once you have confirmed the transaction, Metamask will inform you when the transaction is complete.
Now that you know how to buy AMKT, let's look at how to store it safely. Metamask is the most secure way to store your AMKT because the wallet is stored in two secure places, your computer and your Ethereum blockchain. For additional security, you can use a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S. A hardware wallet adds an extra layer of security because it stores your private key offline. To store your AMKT in a hardware wallet, simply transfer them from Metamask to your device.
