Quick Start Guide

Get started with EVMORE digital gold in just a few steps. This guide covers everything from setting up your wallet to acquiring your first EVMORE.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need:

  • A computer with internet access
  • An Ethereum wallet (we'll help you set one up)
  • Some ETH for transaction fees (even small amounts work)
  • 10-15 minutes of your time

Step 1: Set Up Your Wallet

Your wallet is where you'll store your EVMORE. It's like a digital vault for your digital gold.

MetaMask is the most popular Ethereum wallet, available as a browser extension and mobile app.

Installation

  1. Browser Extension
  2. Visit metamask.io
  3. Click "Download" and select your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge)
  4. Click "Add to Browser" and confirm the installation

  5. The MetaMask fox icon will appear in your browser toolbar

  6. Mobile App

  7. Download from App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android)
  8. Search for "MetaMask" - look for the orange fox icon

Creating Your Wallet

  1. Click the MetaMask icon and select "Create a new wallet"
  2. Create a strong password (you'll use this to unlock the wallet)
  3. CRITICAL: Write down your Secret Recovery Phrase
  4. MetaMask will show you 12 words
  5. Write these down on paper (not digital!)
  6. Store in a secure location (safe, lockbox, etc.)
  7. Never share these words with anyone
  8. Anyone with these words can access your funds
  9. Confirm your recovery phrase by selecting the words in order
  10. Your wallet is now ready!

Security Tips

  • Never share your recovery phrase - not with support, not with friends, not online
  • Never store it digitally - no photos, no cloud storage, no text files
  • Consider making multiple copies stored in different secure locations
  • Test your backup by restoring on a different device before adding significant funds

Option B: Hardware Wallets (For Larger Holdings)

For significant holdings, consider a hardware wallet:

  • Ledger Nano S Plus / Nano X - Popular choice, good mobile support
  • Trezor Model One / Model T - Open-source firmware

Hardware wallets keep your private keys offline, providing maximum security.

Option C: Other Software Wallets

  • Rabby - Feature-rich alternative to MetaMask
  • Rainbow - Beautiful mobile-first wallet
  • Coinbase Wallet - Good for beginners, integrates with Coinbase exchange

Step 2: Get Some ETH

You need a small amount of ETH to pay for transaction fees (called "gas"). Even $10-20 worth is plenty to start.

Ways to Get ETH

From a Centralized Exchange

  1. Create an account on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, etc.)
  2. Complete verification (usually requires ID)
  3. Deposit funds via bank transfer or card
  4. Buy ETH
  5. Withdraw to your wallet
  6. In the exchange, go to Withdraw
  7. Select ETH (make sure it's on Ethereum mainnet)
  8. Paste your wallet address (from MetaMask)
  9. Confirm the withdrawal

From a Friend

Ask someone who already has ETH to send you a small amount. Just share your wallet address.

From a Decentralized Exchange

If you have other cryptocurrencies, you can swap them for ETH on Uniswap, Sushi, or similar.

Finding Your Wallet Address

  1. Open MetaMask
  2. Your address is shown at the top (starts with 0x...)
  3. Click to copy the full address
  4. This is safe to share - it's like an email address for receiving crypto

Step 3: Add EVMORE to Your Wallet

By default, your wallet won't show EVMORE. You need to add it as a "custom token."

Adding EVMORE to MetaMask

  1. Open MetaMask
  2. Scroll down and click "Import tokens"
  3. Select "Custom token"
  4. Enter the EVMORE contract address: 
    [Contract address will be available after mainnet launch]
  5. The token symbol (EVMORE) and decimals (18) should auto-fill
  6. Click "Add custom token"
  7. Confirm by clicking "Import tokens"

Now EVMORE will appear in your token list, even if your balance is 0.

Step 4: Get Your First EVMORE

There are several ways to acquire EVMORE:

Option A: Trade on a Decentralized Exchange

  1. Go to Uniswap or similar DEX

  • Sent to wrong address? Unfortunately, blockchain transactions are irreversible
  • Suspicious transaction? Revoke permissions on Revoke.cash

Understanding Gas Fees

Every Ethereum transaction requires a "gas" fee, paid in ETH.

What Affects Gas Fees

  • Network congestion: Busier network = higher fees
  • Transaction complexity: Simple transfers are cheaper
  • Gas price: You can set higher gas for faster confirmation

Saving on Gas

  • Check gas prices at Etherscan Gas Tracker
  • Transact during off-peak hours (weekends, early morning US time)
  • Use Layer 2 solutions when available
  • Set appropriate gas limits (don't overpay)

Typical Gas Costs

Operation Approximate Cost
Simple transfer $1-10
DEX swap $5-30
Mining proof submission $5-20

Costs vary significantly based on network conditions

Using EVMORE in DeFi

Once you have EVMORE, you can use it in various DeFi protocols:

Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)

  • Trade: Swap EVMORE for other tokens
  • Provide Liquidity: Earn trading fees by providing liquidity
  • Popular DEXs: Uniswap, Sushiswap, Curve

Lending Protocols

  • Supply: Lend your EVMORE to earn interest
  • Borrow: Use EVMORE as collateral to borrow other assets
  • Popular protocols: Aave, Compound

Yield Aggregators

  • Optimize yields: Automatically move funds to highest-yielding opportunities
  • Popular aggregators: Yearn, Beefy

Important DeFi Considerations

  • Smart contract risk: All DeFi protocols carry risk
  • Impermanent loss: Providing liquidity can result in losses
  • Start small: Learn with small amounts first
  • Do your research: Understand protocols before using them
