Buying HEC Through the Fantom Network
If you already have a Fantom wallet, keep in mind you’ll need some FTM to cover fees. In case you own the wallet but don’t have FTM yet, you can get some for free on Hector Finance’s Discord server.
The fastest way to get this token is through a DEX (Decentralized Exchange). Here, there are many options to consider, so choose the one that feels more appropriate for you.
Hector DEX
This is the most recommended option if you’re looking to make the most out of these coins. You can swap directly for these coins across different blockchain networks, including:
- Avalanche
- Ethereum
- Binance Smart Chain
Here, all you have to do is get into the platform and get into the “DEX” dashboard. Then, you can easily choose the token you wish to swap and the one you wish to get. You can also change the chain the tokens are on.
Once you’ve chosen the desired number of tokens you want to trade, you must wait for Hector DEX to find appropriate exchange rates and handle the Bridging and Swapping. Finally, click on “Swap,” and you’re done!
If you want to make a cross-network exchange, you must enable both networks in your wallet to avoid any problems.
SpookySwap
The process for this DEX is a bit more complicated since it involves an extra step, but it’s no big problem. Here, you must swap your tokens for DAI, which could involve BNB, FTM, wETH, or others; it depends on the chain you’re working with.
Once you have your DAI tokens, you can swap them for HEC in the platform.
Yoshi Exchange
On this website, you can swap any coins for HEC, although we recommend using DAI tokens since they offer the best rates.
What If You’re Not on the Fantom Network?
The process for purchasing HEC here is considerably longer, so we’ll always recommend setting up a wallet on the Fantom network and then following the guide above. Still, you may use Hector DEX for easier and faster transactions.
To set up your Fantom wallet, all you have to do is download Metamask, configure your wallet, and enable the Fantom network from there.
Binance Users
Binance users can withdraw FTM to their wallets as they would with any other token. Then, they must follow the process for trading in the SpookySwap platform, which was explained above.
Avalanche Users
Here, you must follow this process if you want to get HEC:
- Enable your Metamask wallet to interact with Avalanche’s network so that you can bridge the tokens without any problems.
- Send AVAX tokens to Metamask under the Avalanche network.
- Use a DEX to swap AVAX for MIM. You may leave a bit of AVAX in your wallet to cover bridging fees.
- Use Hector DEX to swap MIM to DAI, and DAI to HEC.
Ethereum Users
The process for Ethereum users goes as shown below:
- Send ETH tokens to your Metamask wallet
- Swap your ETH tokens for wETH tokens since this version allows for cross-chain transactions.
- Use Hector DEX to swap wETH to the Fantom network, and then swap your wETH tokens to DAI and DAI to HEC.
Bottom Line
As you can see, there are several processes you can consider to start purchasing HEC today and help the Hector Finance project. Overall, the easiest method is to get a Fantom wallet and then use Hector DEX to complete the transaction in under a few minutes.
We hope this guide has helped you, and we’re excited for you to see everything the Hector ecosystem has to offer.
