Buying Dash: A step-by-step guide

Here’s an easy way to buy Dash:

Open the widget, choose the cryptocurrency you want to swap in the "You Get" section, and enter the amount, such as 0.1 BTC or any other supported coin, from the dropdown.

When swapping crypto, you can choose between a fixed rate or a market rate. A fixed rate locks in the amount shown in the "You Get" section and lets you use a promo code for cashback. A market rate finds the best available deal from partner providers, but the final amount may differ slightly from the estimate.

We select a fixed rate so that we can use a promo code.

Pick Dash in the “You Get” field.

It and the amount you’re expected to receive will appear there.

Enter your promo code in the designated field if you chose a fixed-rate swap.

Click the “Swap” button.

You'll need to provide a few key details:

• Your wallet address, where your Dash will be sent after the swap;
• An optional refund address, in case the transaction doesn't go through;
• And provide your email address to receive updates on the swap's progress.

Click “Proceed” to generate the wallet address to send your funds. Transfer the exact amount shown, and LetsExchange will handle the rest. Remember to save the transaction receipt once your Dash tokens arrive in your wallet.
