Acquiring TONE

You cannot directly buy TONE - what you CAN do, and MUST do, is buy Binance Coin (BNB), which you then exchange for Smart Chain (BSC), which you can then exchange for TONE via PancakeSwap.

Whatever way makes it the easiest for you to do this, is the best way to go about it. Below, you will find two solid options.

​

Required:

1. Wallet that can connect to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) - Trust Wallet and MetaMask are good options
2. BNB, then exchanged for BSC
3. PancakeSwap V2 - https://exchange.pancakeswap.finance/#/swap
4. $TONE Contact Address - 0xbcdfd50ead6b6da1970464985fab894fb83d17c0 (feel free to verify on www.NFTTone.net)

​

​

Steps:

1. Ensure that your wallet is connected to Binance Smart Chain

Trust Wallet

• Requires setting up a multi-coin wallet, so basically it's connected by default - just verify that the DApps browser is enabled
  • https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/connecting-trust-wallet-to-binance-smart-chain-bsc

MetaMask

• Requires a quick, manual setup
  • https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/connecting-metamask-to-binance-smart-chain

​

​

2. Add the necessary Tokens to your wallet

Trust Wallet

• In the upper right of the wallet home screen, click the two parallel lines with circles on them
• Search and Enable PancakeSwap Token (CAKE) and Smart Chain (BNB)
• For TONE, in the same search function, scroll to the bottom, and select "Add Custom Token"
  • Network - Smart Chain
  • Contract Address - 0xbcdfd50ead6b6da1970464985fab894fb83d17c0
  • Name - NFT TONE
  • Symbol - TONE
  • Decimals - 8

​

MetaMask

• Open the MetaMask viewer
• In the network selector, choose the Smart Chain network that you just added
• Near the bottom of the viewer, select 'Add Token'
• Choose 'Custom Token'
  • Contact Address - 0xbcdfd50ead6b6da1970464985fab894fb83d17c0
  • Token Symbol - TONE
  • Decimals - 8
  • Add the Token!
• From my research, the CAKE token is NOT needed for MetaMask, and it very well may not even be necessary for Trust Wallet

​

​

2. Buy BNB

• This can be done through Binance or through TrustWallet w/ Simplex (there are almost certainly more ways, too)
• I won't go into much more detail, as this part is pretty straight forward

​

3. Exchange BNB for BSC

• TONE utilizes the Binance Smart Chain, and ONLY BSC can be exchanged for it, NOT BNB.
• You can exchange BNB for BSC when transferring funds from Binance to a wallet, or you can exchange BNB for BSC within Trust Wallet (Trust Wallet labels it as Smart Chain (BNB) )
  • When transferring BNB from Binance as BSC - MAKE SURE YOU ARE SENDING IT TO A BSC ADDRESS, NOT BNB. YOUR BSC WILL BE GONE FOREVER, IF IT'S SENT TO A BNB ADDRESS.
  • With Trust Wallet, once you have bought BNB, you can SIMPLY exchange it for Smart Chain (BNB) in app.

​

4. Exchange that hard-earned internet money for some $TONE!

Trust Wallet

• Go the DApps section
• Copy and paste this address into the search bar - https://exchange.pancakeswap.finance/#/swap?outputCurrency=0xbcdfd50ead6b6da1970464985fab894fb83d17c0&inputCurrency=BNB
  • This takes you to the PancakeSwap Exchange and Imports the TONE contact address
  • If there is NO popup about importing the TONE token, and/or it doesn't show that you are exchanging to TONE, simply select the 'Exchange To' token, and search the contract address
• To the right of the URL 'pancakeswap.finance' at the top of the page, select the Ethereum icon, and choose 'Smart Chain'
• In the upper right, verify that the 'Connect' button has changed to your wallet address
• Select the amount of Smart Chain (BNB) that you want to exchange
  • The amount will have to be slightly less than the max, to cover the network fee
  • Increase the Slippage to 5% - 30%. If you get an error preventing you from executing the transaction, you need to increase the slippage.

MetaMask

• Go to https://exchange.pancakeswap.finance/#/swap?outputCurrency=0xbcdfd50ead6b6da1970464985fab894fb83d17c0&inputCurrency=BNB
  • Again, feel free to just go to the PancakeSwap exchange yourself, look up the 'Exchange To' token, and search the TONE contact address - that's all this link does for you.
• In the MetaMask interface, select the Smart Chain network
• In the upper right of the PancakeSwap exchange, click the 'Connect' button
  • If you get an error that says you can't connect, I unfortunately don't have an answer for this right now. If anybody knows, please share your thoughts!
• Select the amount of Smart Chain (BNB) that you want to exchange
  • The amount will have to be slightly less than the max, to cover the network fee
  • Increase the Slippage to 5% - 30%. If you get an error preventing you from executing the transaction, you need to increase the slippage.
