Are you ready? Go!
Step 1: Register on Binance
Objective: Convert (Dollars or Euros) to (USDC & BNB) with your credit card.
No exchange platform allows you to buy directly GAINS Associates tokens ($GAINS) with Euros (€) or Dollars ($).
$GAINS is only available on Uniswap and PancakeSwap which are called ‘decentralized exchanges’.
Therefore, it’s necessary to go through a platform accepting Euros or Dollars to buy USDC (a stablecoin pegged to the price of a US dollar) and BNB (the native cryptocurrency of the Binance Smart Chain) from your credit card to be able to buy $GAINS on a decentralized exchange.
- Go to www.binance.com and start the registering process,
this may take a short while for Binance to verify your account.
Once your account is verified, you’ll need to buy USDC (to buy $GAINS later on) and a small amount of BNB (to pay the gas fees for your further $GAINS purchase).
- On the menu bar at the top left side of the website, go to ‘Buy Crypto’
and select ‘Credit/Debit Card’.
You can now choose the desired amount you would like to spend in Euros from your credit/debit card to buy crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, BNB…
First, get some USDC and then repeat the same process and get some BNB.
You’ll just need a tiny amount of BNB to pay the gas fees, 20 euros (~$23) should be fine!
- On the menu bar at the top right side of the website, go to ‘Wallet’
and select ‘Fiat and Spot’ you can now see that you have successfully deposited USDC and BNB on your wallet. Congratulations!

Step 2: Get a MetaMask
Objective: Be able to trade tokens on decentralized exchanges
$GAINS is only available on both decentralized exchanges Uniswap and PancakeSwap.
To connect and trade or ‘swap’ on these decentralized exchanges (and therefore, to buy $GAINS), you’ll need a MetaMask wallet.
MetaMask is one of the most popular browser extensions that serve as a way of storing your tokens. The extension is free and secure.
To create a new MetaMask wallet you have to install the extension first.
- Go to https://metamask.io/
- Click on ‘Download’
- Click on ‘Install MetaMask for Chrome’
Install MetaMask
Now you’ll need to create an account!
- Click on the extension icon in the upper right corner of your browser to open MetaMask and follow the instructions to create a new account.
Browser extension
- Then, click on ‘Get Started’
- Finally, click on ‘Create a wallet’
MetaMask provides a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase when you first create a wallet.
⚠️Make sure to store your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase in a secure place offline. Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase with anyone.⚠️
Congratulations, you now have a MetaMask wallet!

Step 3: Binance Smart Chain configuration
Objective: Setting up Metamask for the Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to buy $GAINS using PancakeSwap instead of Uniswap because nowadays, gas fees can be pretty high using Uniswap so buying $GAINS on PancakeSwap will be better.
To connect your MetaMask wallet to PancakeSwap you’ll need to add the BSC (Binance Smart Chain) to your MetaMask account.
- Open your MetaMask wallet, and go to settings.
MetaMask account’s settings
- In settings select “Networks”
- Select the ‘add network’ button and input the following information:
Network Name: BSC Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org/ or https://bsc-dataseed2.binance.org/
Chain ID: 56 or 0x38
Symbol: BNB
Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com/
- Select the newly added BSC Mainnet network and you’re now connected to the BSC network! Congratulations!
Next step: Load your wallet with BNB to pay the transaction fees when you’ll buy $GAINS on PancakeSwap.
Note: You can use https://chainlist.org/, no need to configure BSC manually.

Step 4: Send your BNB and USDC to your MetaMask
Objective: Withdraw your cryptos from Binance to Metamask via the BSC
It’s super cool to have a MetaMask wallet, but it’s much better to have some $GAINS on it.
- Open your wallet in Binance and select the BNB that you previously
bought with your credit card and click ‘Withdraw’.
- Now go and open the MetaMask wallet extension. Copy the address at the top by clicking on it.
- Paste the address you copied from MetaMask in the BNB withdraw address field on Binance.
- Click Binance Smart Chain and enter the amount you wish to transfer below and submit.
Binance will ask for a withdrawal confirmation via a phone and an email code.
Enter the codes and confirm the withdrawal.
After a few minutes, the transaction will appear in your MetaMask wallet, and your BNB balance will automatically change.
Now repeat the same process with your USDC, send them from Binance to MetaMask, via the Binance Smart Chain.
Once your USDC are sent to your MetaMask, they might not show up in your wallet, nothing to worry about, sometimes your tokens will not display automatically, you’ll need to add them manually.
- Search for the desired token on Coinmarketcap.com ex: USDC
- Copy the Binance Smart Chain token’s address: 0x8ac76a51cc950d9822d68b83fe1ad97b32cd580d — > (USDC contract’s address for the BSC)
On MetaMask, click on ‘import tokens’, paste the token’s address and add it.
Repeat the same process with $GAINS
$GAINS contract address for the Binance Smart Chain: 0xf1C3e69494E27bf067C4076a6f244a46446719d6
Now, everything is ready! Your MetaMask should have BNB, USDC and GAINS tokens showing up.
(Of course, your $GAINS balance is still at zero)
Now it’s time to buy some $GAINS!

Step 5: Buy $GAINS on PancakeSwap
Objective: Participate in our ultra-high return deals.
Before you can swap tokens on PancakeSwap, you need to connect a wallet like MetaMask to it.
That way, you can use your BNB from your MetaMask wallet to swap and pay the transaction fees for a token that you like, in our case, $GAINS.
- Go to https://www.pancakeswap.finance/ click on ‘Connect’, and click on ‘MetaMask’.
After you’ve clicked on ‘MetaMask’, a pop-up notification will open to guide you on how to connect MetaMask to PancakeSwap.
- Tap on the ‘Next’ button to continue with the connection process.
On PancakeSwap, you’ll see your wallet address at the top-right corner of the page, this means that you’ve successfully connected MetaMask to PancakeSwap.
Make sure that the selected network on MetaMask is the Binance Smart Chain network.
Now, you’ll be able to swap your USDC for $GAINS.
Paste the contract address of the token that you want to buy on the ‘To’ field.
Then, enter the amount of USDC that you want to swap for $GAINS and click on ‘Enable USDC’ and then ‘Swap’ to swap them.
You’ve successfully bought some $GAINS! Welcome to the GAINS Family, you can now participate in our deals.
