How to purchase and store GreenX (GEX) token on MyEtherWallet (MEW) and MetaMask

The GEX token purchase process will be fully automated through the official GreenX smart contract which is verified and published by EtherScan (https://www.etherscan.io). GreenX’s smart contract address is unique and used to distinguish from other tokens.
