How to buy SWT
A practical guide for swapping on Polygon using a wallet (MetaMask / Brave Wallet) and a DEX. This is not financial advice — it’s a technical walkthrough.
A transparent system is only fully tested when it is used. Even a small interaction turns structure into a live mechanism.
Tip: start with a small swap to confirm everything works, then scale up gradually.
Quick start (30 seconds)
You need four things. If any is missing, the swap will fail or be confusing.
MetaMask or Brave Wallet (any EVM wallet works).
Switch to Polygon (chain id 137).
Hold a small amount of POL for transaction fees.
USDT / USDC (or any other token you want to swap from).
You may see a “token warning” on DEX UIs for new assets. Always verify the contract address.
Safety checklist
Most user losses are operational (wrong token, phishing, wrong network), not “hacks”.
MetaMask
This does not “buy” anything — it just makes SWT visible in your asset list after you swap.
- Open MetaMask → Import tokens → Custom token
- Paste the SWT contract address
- Confirm symbol SWT and decimals 18
- Save
If you already swapped SWT once, MetaMask may detect it automatically.
MetaMask “Swap” is convenient, but routes and fees can vary. For transparency and control, using a DEX UI directly is usually better.
- DEX UI shows routing and warnings clearly
- You can verify output token by contract
- You can compare Uniswap vs QuickSwap pricing
Buy via Uniswap (recommended)
- Open Uniswap on Polygon and connect your wallet
- Set To token to SWT (contract is prefilled via the button below)
- Choose From token (USDT / USDC / other)
- Enter amount → review price impact → confirm the swap
SWT transfers include a 0.1% on-chain humanitarian fee (see tokenomics). If a swap fails, try a slightly higher slippage tolerance (e.g. 0.5–1%).
Buy via QuickSwap (alternative)
- Open QuickSwap and connect your wallet
- Set output token to SWT (prefilled via the button below)
- Choose input token and amount
- Review and confirm
If Uniswap and QuickSwap show different quotes, it’s normal. Liquidity and pricing can diverge between pools.
Price impact helper
This helper uses sqrtPriceX96, liquidity and the active range ticks (tickLower/tickUpper) from /api/stats. The estimate is accurate as long as the swap stays inside the active range.
Suggested for new users: start around 10–50 USDT.
A first interaction does not have to be large.
It can be a practical way to observe how the system behaves.
If the swap would cross the upper tick, this helper warns you and stops at the range boundary.
Real execution beyond the range depends on other ranges and pool routing.
Estimates do not include DEX fee tier and 0.1% SWT transfer fee.
In the current liquidity state, a very small first interaction is structurally different from a large entry.
For minimal swap sizes, the main expected friction is typically fee-related rather than deep execution slippage.
Frequently asked questions
This FAQ is practical and safety-oriented. It does not replace personal verification of the contract address, official links, and swap details before trading.
Buying SWT is participation in a public on-chain system with fixed rules. It is not a donation shortcut and not a promise of financial returns.
Notes
- Double-check you are on Polygon
- Verify SWT contract address matches this page
- Try both DEX UIs (Uniswap / QuickSwap) and compare quotes
- Start with a small amount to confirm everything works
