USDC to Your Wallet
USDC (USD Coin) on the Avalanche C-Chain is necessary to purchase GarageSaleIt Nodes.
This is a guide on adding USDC to your Metamask Wallet. It is a critical first step in becoming an active participant in the GarageSaleIt ecosystem and buying your GarageSaleIt Nodes.
Step 1: Open Your MetaMask Wallet and Select the Avalanche C-Chain network
Open the MetaMask app on your mobile device or browser extension on your desktop.
Log in to your MetaMask account using your password.
Confirm you are on the Avalanche Network
Note: If you do not have the Avalanche Network available, you need to add this to your Metamask Wallet
Step 2: Navigate to the Tokens Section
Click on the 'Menu' icon (≡)in the top left corner of the MetaMask app, and then select 'Assets'. For the browser extension, you will already be on the 'Assets' page upon login.
Step 3: Add the USDC Token to the Avalanche C-Chain Network
Scroll down and click on the ‘Add / Import Token’ button
In the 'Search' bar, type “USDC”. It’s possible that USDC will appear in the list due to its popularity.
If you see 'USDC' in the list, select it. If not, you may need to enter the USDC contract address (which you can find on a reputable Ethereum blockchain explorer like Etherscan.io; always double-check to make sure you have the correct and official contract address).
Step 4: Confirm the Token Addition
After selecting or entering the USDC details, click the 'Next' button.
Review the token details to make sure everything is correct, then click the ‘Add / Import Tokens’ button
Step 5: Buy USDC from an Exchange or Fiat On-Ramp
Choose a cryptocurrency exchange or fiat on-ramp service that supports USDC. Examples include Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, or CoinGate.
Create an account on the chosen platform and complete any necessary identity verification (KYC) process.
Deposit fiat currency (e.g., USD, EUR, AUD) using a bank transfer, credit/debit card, or other supported deposit methods.
Buy USDC on the platform with your deposited fiat currency. Usually, this involves placing a buy order on the platform’s trading interface.
Step 6: Send USDC to Your MetaMask Wallet on the Avalanche C-Chain Network
Copy your MetaMask wallet address: In your MetaMask app, click on your account name at the top (which starts with ‘0x’) to copy your wallet address to your clipboard.
Log in to your exchange or fiat on-ramp account where you purchased USDC.
Navigate to your USDC wallet in the exchange and select the ‘Withdraw’ or ‘Send’ option.
Paste your MetaMask wallet address in the recipient/destination address field.
Enter the amount of USDC you wish to send to your MetaMask wallet.
Confirm the transaction and pay any associated fees. Always double-check the address to ensure it is correct.
Step 7: Confirm Receipt of USDC in MetaMask
Wait for the transaction to be confirmed. This usually takes a few minutes but may vary depending on network congestion.
Open your MetaMask app and navigate to the 'Assets' tab. You should now see your USDC balance reflecting the amount you sent.
End Result: You now have USDC available to Buy GSI Nodes
