Today, we're exploring decentralised finance by walking you through the essential steps on how to purchase crypto on a decentralised exchange.

In this tutorial, we'll focus on buying tokens using Uniswap, a pioneering DEX platform. The process is also applicable to other decks like Jupiter, Sushi Swap, Trader Joe, and many more. Whether you're a seasoned DeFi enthusiast or new to the space, let's dive into the decentralised realm and discover the power of DEX trading together.

Before we begin, ensure you have a wallet set up. If you haven't done so yet, you can refer to our tutorial on how to set up a crypto wallet. Additionally, you'll need some native tokens to cover gas fees.

If you don't have any, check out our guide on how to buy crypto with PayPal, credit card, Apple Pay or bank transfer for detailed steps. Once you have the necessary native tokens for gas fees and the token you wish to trade with, let's proceed.

Connect your wallet to Uniswap

First, tap on the browser logo at the bottom. Since we'll be using the built in browser, enter the DEX website address, such as www.uniswap.com. Tap on the launch app to access the swapping interface. Connect your wallet by tapping on the top-right button.

Choose tokens you want to swap

Now the first token represents the token you'll pay with, while the second token is the one you'll receive after the trade.

Let's say we're swapping USDT for ETH. Therefore, we'll select USDT as the input token and ETH as the output token. Enter the desired amount of tokens you wish to trade and tap swap.

You will be asked to approve and confirm the swap, and a pop up will appear on your wallet for confirmation.

Complete transaction

Once the transaction is executed, you'll receive a confirmation, and your tokens will be available in your wallet. To verify, go back to your wallet and refresh it. If you don't see the tokens yet, you may need to manually add them to your wallet. Tap on import tokens, search for the token you purchased, and confirm. Your token balance should now be visible in your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
