How to Buy Mainstream Tokens ($MAIN)

This tutorial will guide you through the process of purchasing Mainstream Tokens ($MAIN) to support the project.

Understanding $MAIN​

Mainstream Token ($MAIN) is a digital asset on the Solana blockchain. It is used within the Mainstream ecosystem for various purposes, including accessing licensed content and participating in community governance.

Purchasing $MAIN Tokens​

Initial Distribution​

The initial distribution of $MAIN tokens was facilitated through a bonding curve mechanism on a decentralized platform. This mechanism ensures transparent price discovery and initial liquidity generation.

Current Methods​

Currently, $MAIN Tokens can be purchased on decentralized exchanges (DEX) on the Solana blockchain.

Step-by-Step Guide​

  1. Set Up a Solana Wallet:

    • If you don't have one, create a Solana wallet using a trusted provider like Phantom, Solflare, or similar.
    • Make sure to securely store your seed phrase or private key.

  2. Acquire SOL:

    • You will need some SOL (Solana's native token) to pay for transaction fees.
    • Purchase SOL from a centralized exchange (CEX) like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken, and transfer it to your Solana wallet.

  3. Connect to a DEX:

    • Visit a Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) such as Raydium, Orca, or Jupiter.
    • Connect your Solana wallet to the DEX.

  4. Find the $MAIN Trading Pair:

    • Search for the $MAIN token using its contract address or ticker symbol.
    • Make sure you are using the correct contract address to avoid purchasing fake tokens.
    • The official contract address will be available on the project's website and official communication channels.

  5. Swap SOL for $MAIN:

    • Enter the amount of SOL you want to swap for $MAIN.
    • Review the transaction details, including the price and fees.
    • Confirm the swap transaction in your wallet.

  6. Verify the Transaction:

    • Once the transaction is confirmed, verify that the $MAIN Tokens are in your Solana wallet.

Important Considerations​

  • Slippage: Be aware of slippage, which is the difference between the expected price and the actual price you receive due to market volatility.
  • Transaction Fees: Solana transactions have small fees, so make sure you have enough SOL to cover them.
  • Security: Always use trusted platforms and double-check the contract address before making any purchases.
  • Volatility: The price of $MAIN Tokens can be volatile, so be prepared for potential price fluctuations.
  • DYOR: Always Do Your Own Research before investing in any cryptocurrency.
