As we draw closer to $Bash token private sale, it is necessary to shed more light on the upcoming sale and how you as an early adopter can join.

Don’t forget that the private sale whitelist is on-going up until 1st April.

Bashoswap will accept ADA exclusively for its upcoming private sale which is a proof of our commitment to the Cardano ecosystem.

This brief medium post will shed more light on how to purchase Cardano (ADA) Tokens in anticipation of the private sale.

How to buy ADA?

The most common method to purchase ADA is using a crypto exchange.

Some well-known exchanges that you can purchase ADA include:

How To Purchase ADA In 4Steps

  1. Create an account on a cryptocurrency exchange regulated in your country and verify your Identity
  2. Make a deposit on the the exchange. Generally done through a credit/debit card or sending an already existing cryptocurrency you have like Bitcoin or Ethereum to the Exchange
  3. Once your account is funded you can now buy ADA by choosing the corresponding pair (eg. BTC/ADA or USDT/ADA)
  4. Congrats, you just bought your first ADA!

The Next Step is how to Store the purchased ADA

How Do You store ADA?

The best way to store your ADA and participate in any Token Presales within the Cardano ecosystem is with a Cardano Compatible crypto wallet.

We won’t advise you to keep ADA on an exchange to participate in our private Sale as you might not be able to receive your tokens.

So the question now is how to get a Cardano wallet?

For the private sale, We would be using Nami Wallet Exclusively as they one of the only browser light wallets that are following the Cardano Improvement Proposal (CIP 30) are allowed.
