Hello friends and fellow TEER enthusiasts, 

Given the recent DEX listing, there is now a fully decentralized and permissionless avenue from which to acquire $TEER. In the interest of our community and future holders, this post aims cover the very basics **on how to buy TEER through Basilisk's SNEK-swap**, a decentralized exchange on the Basilisk parachain. It's not intended to be a high level explainer, nor a technical approach to DEX's, but rather simply, in my view, a easy step-by-step guide to get your hands on some $TEER. All comments and observations welcome.

Firstly things first! **We cannot cover all wallets**! Personally, we use polkadot.js, it's likely the hardest to use, but if you are utilizing NovaWallet, Talisman, or Fearless, the general idea is the same likely much easier. As with all things web3, just double check you are pasting addresses correctly and making sure you are sending assets to the correct chain. This is a tutorial and we are not responsible for anything. 

**Step 0. Get a Polkadot compatible wallet**
There are multiple options, but on average people seem to like [Talisman,](https://www.talisman.xyz/) [Fearless](https://fearlesswallet.io/) , and [NovaWallet](https://novawallet.io/) the best. Get familiar with it.

**Step 1. Acquire $KSM**
You can buy $KSM through any centralized exchange.

**Step 2. Send $KSM to your Kusama address** 
Look for your Kusama address on your wallet, and send KSM to the that address. 

**Step 3. Cross-chain $KSM into the Basilisk Parachain** 
Go to [Basilisk's Cross-Chain portal](https://app.basilisk.cloud/cross-chain) (<-- click). 
Make sure you have connected the right account to the Basilisk website on the top right corner.
Select source chain as KSM and destination chain as Basilisk. 
Click transfer.

**Step 4. Trade KSM for TEER using the "Trade" at top left corner of the site**
Pay with KSM, and use the drop-down menu to find TEER, and click "swap".

Congrats! You now own $TEER!

For an optional **Step 5. Transfer the TEER to the Integritee Network**
If you wish to have TEER on the Integritee network, go to cross-chain, again. Select "Source Chain" as Basilisk, and destination as Integritee.
Select the amount you'd like to send, and click transfer.

**PRO-TIP: The dotsama ecosystem is so cheap with fees that you can try this with literally a few dollars. Get comfortable with the interface, no rush. Usually CEX's have withdrawal minimums but once you have your KSM you'll be ready to go full web3!**
