How to buy AMPL in a DEX?

Deposit your ETH in Metamask and buy AMPL in a DEX. Now that you have ETH in Bit2Me you can exchange them to AMPL from MetaMask in a very easy way:

  1. Bring your Bit2Me ETH to Metamask. To do this you will have to click on the "Send" option of your Bit2Me wallet and enter the ETH wallet address in Metamask.
  2. Once your ETH has reached Metamask (this may involve the payment of the corresponding gas fee), you can move on to the next step.
  3. Connect your MetaMask wallet to a decentralized exchange (DEX) that has AMPL such as PancakeSwap.
  4. Select ETH as payment and AMPL as the cryptocurrency you want to buy.
  5. Make the swap.

Why can't I swap directly from MetaMask? MetaMask native exchange only allows swaps between cryptocurrencies that are native to the same blockchain. Therefore, as ETH and AMPL belong to two different blockchains it is impossible to make the swap in this way and it will be necessary to go to a decentralized exchange (DEX) to make the swap.

What if AMPL is not available in a DEX?

If the token you want to buy, in this case AMPL, is not found in the DEX, you can use some blockchain scanning tool, such as Etherscan.io and look for the smart contract direction of the blockchain.

In some decentralized exchanges, even if the cryptocurrency you are looking for is not listed, you will have the possibility to copy the address of the smart contract from Etherscan and paste it in the search engine in order to perform the swap manually.

In this case, we remind you to check the addresses carefully and be alert to possible fraud or phishing attacks.
