# Funding the Wallet

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide uses Metamask for its wallet and assumes you have already setup a MetaMask wallet using the instructions provided in the[ Setting Up Metamask guide.](/dracula-protocol/guides/metamask/installation-and-setup.md)
{% endhint %}

## **Step 1: Send ETH to the MetaMask Wallet**

Once you’ve set up a new wallet in MetaMask, click on ETH and select Receive, copy your ETH wallet address (begins with 0x), and paste it when prompted by the wallet you are sending ETH or an ERC-20 token from.

After verifying the address you are sending to is your MetaMask wallet address, accept all fees necessary to send the transaction.

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep at least **0.1 ETH** in the Metamask wallet at all times for transaction fees.
{% endhint %}

## **Step 2: Connect MetaMask wallet to a DEX**

Use a DEX that supports DRC to swap tokens (ETH, USDT, et al) for DRC.

**Current Decentralized Exchanges that swap DRC include:**

* [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap) 
* [Linkswap](https://blog.yflink.io/linkswap-launch-pair-drc/)
* [Bilaxy](https://bilaxy.com)
