Getting tokens
Learn how to acquire Mel-native tokens.
There are currently only a couple of ways of acquiring
"mainnet"
tokens:
Run a
melminter
instance - this rewards you with ERG, which can be immediately swapped for other tokens in the liquidity pools (e.g. MEL, SYM, etc.)
If you already have some MEL, SYM, or ERG, you can swap them for others via
Melswap
Testnet MEL can be arbitrarily created using the
faucet functionality
.
Our native tokens are currently
not
listed on any exchange yet. Be aware of possible scams!
