# Connect Wallet

To start your way through the CryptoMines Metaverse you will need 3 things: 

* A Web3 wallet installed (MetaMask is recommended)
* $BNB to pay the Gas Fees on the Binance Smart Chain Network
* **$CRUX** which you can purchase in Pancake Swap.

The first step can be taken by reading this document, which should help you install your wallet and the BSC Mainnet on it: <https://docs.binance.org/smart-chain/wallet/metamask.html>

Later, you can purchase your **$CRUX** in ApeSwap or PancakeSwap:\
\
<https://app.apeswap.finance/swap?outputCurrency=0xe0191fEfdd0D2B39b1a2E4E029cCDA8A481b7995> \
\
<https://pancakeswap.finance/swap?outputCurrency=0xe0191fEfdd0D2B39b1a2E4E029cCDA8A481b7995>

After obtaining **$CRUX** you can exchange it for Dark Matter on our official exchange: <https://exchange.cryptomines.app/>&#x20;
