πŸͺ™Getting tokens

How to acquire Mel-native tokens.

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)

  • If you already have some MEL, SYM, or ERG, you can swap them for other tokens using Melswap

Acquiring testnet tokens: use the faucet functionality.

Our native tokens are currently not listed on any exchange yet. Be aware of possible scams!
