### 1. Get ETH token in your Metamask Account on Arbitrum

To buy $ORB token you need Ether in your wallet. We will use Metamask here as example, but the process is the same for most other EVM-compatible browser based wallets.&#x20;

You can buy Ether on any centralized Exchange like Binance, Coinbase, crypto.com or others.&#x20;

From there the easiest and cheapest way is to transfer your ETH straight to Arbitrum L2 network.&#x20;

How that is done depends on your Provider, but usually within your withdraw options you can chose to which network to transfer your tokens.&#x20;

### 2. Bridge ETH from Ethereum Mainnet to Arbitrum (optional)

If you already have Ether on any other chain, you can also  bridge them to the Arbitrum L2 network.&#x20;

For bridging you can use Stargate Finance,  Synapse Protocol or any bridge you prefer.&#x20;

### 3. Swapping from ETH to ORB

When you have your ETH balance on Arbitrum network, the next step is to swap them for $ORB token. Therefore you can use uniswap.org.&#x20;

Make sure you Metamask (or any other wallet) is connected to the Arbitrum One Network and shows your ETH balance.

Then go to uniswap.org:

{% embed url="<https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap?inputCurrency=ETH&outputCurrency=0x54F983F1407D6ec30C6B7633F2Bf05a672a7f216>" %}

Make sure, you select the Arbitrum network in the uniswap interface:

Last step is just to select the amount in ETH you want to swap, then allow uniswap to swap your tokens.&#x20;

**Hint**: When buying larger amounts, you might need to increase the slippage to 5-10%. Just press the gear icon in the top right corner, and set "Max slippage" to Custom 10%.&#x20;

**Hint**: If you cant find the $ORB Token in your wallet, find the "import tokens" Link below your assets balance in Metamask. In the next screen add the $ORB address: **0x54F983F1407D6ec30C6B7633F2Bf05a672a7f216**

It should show the Orbitrum token name and ORB symbol and when you click ok, you're done and should see the tokens in your wallet.&#x20;
