The first step in purchasing iVest is to acquire some BNB Smart Chain. This is the cryptocurrency you will need to buy iVest.

There are a number of ways to do this, below are two ways that we recommend:

1a. Buy BNB Smart Chain directly within Trust Wallet using a debit card.
Many banks will reject your first attempt to do this. You may have to call your bank and authorize transactions from the provider you have selected within Trust Wallet to process the transaction. Alchemy Pay, Banxa, Mercuryo and Simplex are popular providers. You may need to setup an account with the provider before using them.

You may also be able to use Apple Pay directly within Trust Wallet to purchase BNB Smart Chain.

Most banks will block cryptocurrency transactions with their credit cards. If you are trying to use a credit card and it is not succeeding, use a debit card instead.

1b. Buy on an exchange
You can buy BNB Smart Chain on some cryptocurrency exchanges, notably Binance.com.

Some exchanges do not allow you to purchase BNB. If you are located in the US, Binance.us can help you.

If your preferred cryptocurrency exchange does not allow you to purchase BNB, simply buy an alternate cryptocurrency, transfer that to Trust Wallet, and swap it for BNB Smart Chain.

We recommend using DOGE as your transfer vehicle because the fees are very low. Buy your Doge on your exchange, send it to your Trust Wallet, and swap it for BNB Smart Chain directly within Trust.

Now that you have your BNB Smart Chain, it's time to buy iVest! You will do this within Trust Wallet via Pancakeswap.finance.

• Open Trust, access the Browser and find PancakeSwap. Select the BNB Chain Network and Connect your wallet.
• Select BNB Smart Chain on the first box - this is the cryptocurrency you are swapping FROM.
• Select the drop-down on the second box - this is the cryptocurrenncy you are swapping TO - and paste in the iVest contract address:

  0x786fCF76dC44B29845f284B81f5680b6c47302c6

• Agree to the terms and Import the iVest token.
• Set your Slippage Tolerance to 12%, input the amount of iVest you want to buy in the TO box and hit swap.

Tip: Type in the number of iVest tokens to order in the TO box. Order estimates from using the 25% / 50% / 75% / MAX BNB balances button may need to be manually reduced by a few tokens or will result in "slippage errors".

Remember, you will receive only half of your iVest tokens immediately. The remaining half are vesting and will be gradually released to you over the next 30 days.

Your iVest is now working for you!

You will automatically receive a share of all iVest network activity and DAO distributions on your fully vested balance of iVest.

You will see your iVest balance increasing every day. The longer you HOLD, the more iVest you will earn!
