How to buy DON tokens on Uniswap
Donkey's DON tokens will be locked up for one month after its launch on September 1, 2021, including the ones allocated for the Team. During this period, you can only mine them after depositing or borrowing other tokens in Donkey. You will be able to claim your DON tokens starting October 1.
As the lock-up of all DON tokens would prevent the token from forming a market price, 1% (1 million) of them have been unlocked in advance to add liquidity to the DON/ETH pool on Uniswap to ensure efficient operation of Donkey’s service (all proceeds from Uniswap sales will be used for Donkey’s early stage marketing).
If you wish to purchase instead of mining DON tokens, you can do so by accessing Uniswap. For details, please follow the instructions below.
Go to Uniswap, the Ethereum token exchange, and click the red Select a Token button. In order to use Uniswap, you must have an Ethereum wallet like MetaMask installed, and other tokens such as ETH or USDT must be in the wallet to purchase DON tokens.
To install MetaMask wallet in your browser and send tokens from the exchange to the wallet, click here.
So once you access Uniswap and the above screen appears, select the token that is in your wallet for the first token selection menu and then add DON tokens for the second selection menu. Let’s find out how to add DON tokens.
Click the Select a token button and click Manage at the bottom of the screen.
After selecting the Token tab on the top, copy-paste DON token’s contract address “ 0x4576e6825b462b6916d2a41e187626e9090a92c6,” which will automatically search for the DON token. Click the Import button as shown on the screen (it is normal for the picture icon not to show up around the letter “DON”).
A confirmation window will pop up next. If you click the Import button, the DON token will then be added. Make sure to double-check the address starting with 0x4576 above is correct. If not, you might be purchasing something else. So check carefully!
You can now see that the DON token has been added. Select the type and quantity of tokens you wish to pay to purchase DON tokens (ETH, USDT, or any others) and then click Swap. Your purchase will be completed after going through a confirmation and approval process in your wallet.
Let’s view your purchased DON tokens in MetaMask
Launch the MetaMask wallet and click the blue Add Token button at the bottom.
Click the Custom Token tab and paste “0x4576e6825b462b6916d2a41e187626e9090a92c6” in the Token Contract Address field. The Token Symbol and Decimals of Precision will be updated automatically. Click Next.
When you click Add Token, you should be able to see the balance of the DON tokens you have just purchased on Uniswap. If the balance is displayed as 0, it means that you bought a wrong token or the purchase failed for various reasons such as insufficient gas fee.
Here we walked you through how to purchase DON tokens on Uniswap.
For those of you who don't know, there is also a way to get DON tokens without having to buy them. You can receive them as a reward by depositing or borrowing other tokens on Donkey.
It is up to you to decide whether to buy DON tokens directly or get them as rewards by using Donkey!
