A SUPER-Beginner’s Guide to Swapping, Bridging and Exchanging MOONs
3 min read
In preperation for the MOON distribution, I thought I might make a SUPER-simple guide to swapping, bridging and exchanging your well-earned MOONs. I’ve included pictures in this to understand more easily. Hope you enjoy it, check out below:
1) How do I know if I have any MOONs?
Check your comments or posts on r/CryptoCurrency to see your profile MOON count.
Search your Vault Wallet address on the Arbitrum Nova Block Explorer or check your Vault on the Reddit App.
Arbitrum Nova Explorer Searchbar
2) Setting up MetaMask
On your mobile or desktop:
Install Metamask
Import your seed phrase of your Vault. Please keep in mind that these 12 words are like your bank card and code, so NEVER share this with someone.
Your Vault can only be found in the Reddit app, when you are in your Vault, click on the ‘cog’ icon above.
Click on ‘recovery phrase’ for the 12 word password of your wallet.
3) Adding Arbitrum Nova
Click ‘Networks’ and then proceed to click ‘Add a network’ and go to ‘custom networks’.
Type in the following details to the available text-boxes displayed:
Network Name: Arbitrum Nova
RPC Url: https://nova.arbitrum.io/rpc
Chain ID: 42170
Symbol : ETH
Block Explorer URL: https://nova.arbiscan.io
4) Importing the token (MOONs)
Click ‘Import Tokens’ on the main section
Type in the following details to the available text-boxes displayed:
Token Address: 0x0057ac2d777797d31cd3f8f13bf5e927571d6ad0
Token Symbol: MOON
Token Decimal: 18
5) Sending and Receiving MOONs
Open your Vault and click on the paper-aeroplane icon, write the desired amount and relevant username and send. OR
Open MetaMask, click ‘Send’ and enter recipients address, enter the amount you’d like to send and select MOON. Click ‘next’ and proceed to ‘Send’.
6) Swapping MOONs on SushiSwap
Open SushiSwap on the MetaMask browser (or another safe browser).
Connect your wallet and ensure your MetaMask wallet is on the Arbitrum Nova Network (on both MetaMask and SushiSwap)
Selected MOONs from the drop-down list of token/coin options (and which one you’d like to swap for) OR paste the contract address and enter the amount you wish to trade with.
Click SWAP and confirm the transaction and wait a couple of seconds and everything should all be completed.
7) What if I can’t pay for gas fees?
Go check out this Reddit bot faucet thread here and comment ‘ !gas nova ’.
8) Bridging your Nova ETH to Arbitrium One ETH
Most exchanges only allow deposits from Arbitrum One, but not Arbitrum Nova (where the MOONs are based).
For this step, you will bridge your ETH from Arbitrum Nova to Arbitrum One.
Go to https://www.orbiter.finance/ and do the following:
Select Arbitrum Nova as the network you’re bridging from
Select Arbitrum One for the network you’re bridging to.
At the end of this step, you will have ETH on Arbitrum One, ready to be sent to your exchange.
9) Sending your ETH to a CEX (centralised exchange)
You might have used Coinbase, Binance or Kraken and the process is pretty similar for all.
Click deposit and select ETH. Make sure that the network is Arbitrum One and not Ethereum.
Copy the address (format “Ox…”) and open
In MetaMask, just click Send, paste the address and select “max” to send all the ETH.
Confirm the transaction and you’re done.
10) AND THEN WITHDRAW THE ETH FROM YOUR EXCHANGE ACCOUNT 🎉
11) Thanks for Reading!
I hope this has helped at least one person and feel free to comment any edits I should make to the post.
⚠️ Disclaimer: swapping and selling more than 25% of your earned MOONs might potentially affects your karma multiplier in the future, shown here⚠️
