This guide will show beginners how to buy Basic Attention Token (BAT) with US Dollars.



First, go to Coinbase to sign up for an account. After you have done this, you can proceed to buy Ethereum. Doing this with a debit/credit card would be the quickest option. You can also buy Bitcoin or Litecoin to use instead. However, it’s easiest with Ethereum because you want to make sure you have ETH to cover network fees.



Move your ETH out of Coinbase and into your own wallet. A hardware wallet like Nano S ledger is one of the most secure options but you can use something like Coinfy or Metamask if you prefer.



To continue, visit the Switchain Instant Exchange and select ETH as the asset you have and BAT as the asset you want. You are not required to make an account or provide personal information.



The next page will show you the rate of exchange and after you approve you will have to input your BAT address and a refund address for your ETH. Make sure that the address you send the Basic Attention Tokens to also has some ETH or you won’t be able to move it. ERC20 tokens (like BAT) use ETH as gas.



You will be provided with an address to send your Ethereum. Send the ETH and the BAT will automatically be deposited into your address. You can track the progress of the trade on the blockchain.



You’re done! That’s all it takes. You will be redirected to a confirmation page.
