Using Built-in E3D Swap & Stake Tools

The E3D platform provides convenient built-in tools for swapping ETH to E3D tokens and staking your E3D tokens directly from the interface, without having to visit external exchanges.

Tip: The built-in tools provide the most streamlined experience with optimized gas fees (typically around $0.32 per transaction) compared to external exchanges.

Step 1: Set Up a MetaMask Wallet

If you don't have one already, install the MetaMask browser extension from the MetaMask website. Create a wallet and add some Ethereum to it.

Step 2: Access the E3D Swap Dialog

There are multiple ways to access the E3D Swap dialog:

  • Click the "E3D Token Swap" button on the E3D homepage
  • Click on the "Swap" button in the navigation menu
  • Use the keyboard shortcut Alt+S (Option+S on Mac)

Step 3: Connect Your Wallet

When the swap dialog opens, click the "Connect Wallet" button if you haven't connected already. Select MetaMask from the list of wallet providers.

Follow the prompts in the MetaMask popup to complete the connection process. You'll need to approve the connection to the E3D platform.

Step 4: Enter Swap Amount

In the swap dialog:

  1. Enter the amount of ETH you wish to swap in the "From" field
  2. The equivalent amount of E3D tokens will automatically calculate in the "To" field
  3. Review the current exchange rate displayed below the input fields

Step 5: Review and Confirm

Before proceeding:

  1. Review the transaction details including the exchange rate and gas fees
  2. Click the "Swap" button to proceed
  3. Confirm the transaction in your MetaMask wallet when prompted

Note: E3D's built-in swap tool uses Uniswap V3 router behind the scenes, which provides significantly lower fees than V2.

Step 6: Staking Your E3D Tokens (Optional)

To stake your newly acquired E3D tokens and participate in protocol governance:

  1. Click the "E3D Staking" button on the homepage or use the "Stake" button in the navigation
  2. When the staking dialog opens, connect your wallet if not already connected
  3. Enter the amount of E3D tokens you wish to stake
  4. Click the "Stake" button and confirm the transaction in your MetaMask
  5. Once confirmed, your staked tokens will begin receiving protocol distributions based on network activity

You can unstake your tokens at any time by returning to the Stake dialog and using the "Unstake" function.

Step 7: Track Your Tokens

After completing your transaction:

  1. Your E3D tokens will automatically appear in your connected wallet
  2. You can view your token balance directly in the E3D platform
  3. To see your tokens in MetaMask, you may need to add the E3D token contract address manually (see token information section)

Using External Exchanges

If you prefer to use external decentralized exchanges like Uniswap or SushiSwap, follow these instructions to acquire E3D tokens.

Step 1: Set Up a MetaMask Wallet

MetaMask is a popular Ethereum wallet available as a browser extension and mobile app. Download and install it from the MetaMask website, create a wallet, and add some Ethereum to it.

Step 2: Connect MetaMask to Uniswap or SushiSwap

For Uniswap, visit the Uniswap Interface and click the "Connect Wallet" button in the top right corner.

For SushiSwap, visit SushiSwap and click the "Connect to a wallet" button.

Select MetaMask from the list of wallet providers and approve the connection request.

Step 3: Set Up the Swap

  1. Select ETH (or any other token you own) in the "From" field
  2. Click on "Select a token" in the "To" field
  3. In the search box, paste the E3D token contract address: 0x6488861b401F427D13B6619C77C297366bCf6386
  4. The E3D token should appear - click on it to select
  5. Enter the amount of ETH you wish to swap in the "From" field

Important: When using Uniswap, make sure to use the V3 version for significantly lower gas fees. V3 is now the default on Uniswap.

Step 4: Review and Execute the Swap

  1. Review the exchange rate and estimated gas fees
  2. Click the "Swap" button
  3. Review the transaction details in the confirmation screen
  4. Click "Confirm Swap" to proceed
  5. Approve the transaction in your MetaMask wallet

The transaction will now be processed on the Ethereum network. This may take a few minutes depending on network congestion and the gas price you've set.

Step 5: Add E3D Token to MetaMask

To view your E3D tokens in MetaMask:

  1. Open your MetaMask wallet
  2. Scroll down and click "Import tokens"
  3. Switch to the "Custom Token" tab
  4. Paste the E3D token contract address in the "Token Contract Address" field: 0x6488861b401F427D13B6619C77C297366bCf6386
  5. The "Token Symbol" (E3D) and "Decimals" (18) should fill automatically
  6. Click "Add Custom Token" and then "Import Tokens" to confirm

Your E3D tokens should now appear in your MetaMask wallet.

Safety Callouts

Verify the Token Address: Always double-check that you're using the official E3D token address: 0x6488861b401F427D13B6619C77C297366bCf6386. Scammers may create tokens with similar names or symbols.

Beware of Phishing: Only access Uniswap and SushiSwap through their official websites or bookmarks you've verified. Don't click on links in emails, social media, or search results that might be spoofed.

Verify the Router Contract: When approving transactions, ensure you're interacting with the legitimate exchange router contracts. For Uniswap V3, it should be 0xE592427A0AEce92De3Edee1F18E0157C05861564.

Check Etherscan After Swapping: After completing a swap, verify the transaction on Etherscan to confirm you've received the correct token at the expected amount.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

"Insufficient output amount" Error: This usually means the price moved unfavorably between the time you submitted and the transaction was processed. Try increasing your slippage tolerance (start with 0.5-1% and increase if needed).

Slippage Too Low: If your transaction keeps failing, your slippage tolerance might be too low. For less liquid pairs, you may need to set a higher slippage (1-3%), though this increases the risk of front-running.

Allowance Reset: If you've previously used a DEX with E3D, you may need to reset your token allowance. Look for "Reset" or "Revoke" buttons next to the approval option.

Stuck Transaction: If your transaction is pending for a long time, you can speed it up or cancel it through MetaMask by clicking on the pending transaction and selecting "Speed Up" or "Cancel".

After acquiring E3D tokens:

Fees, Taxes & Important Disclosures

Gas Fees: All Ethereum transactions require gas fees paid to the network miners/validators, not to E3D. These fees vary based on network congestion and can range from a few dollars to significantly higher during peak times.

No Guaranteed Return: The value of E3D tokens fluctuates with market conditions. Neither buying nor staking E3D tokens guarantees any specific financial return. E3D tokens are utility tokens designed for use within the E3D platform ecosystem.

Tax Implications: Users are responsible for their own tax reporting and compliance. Token purchases, sales, swaps, and protocol distributions may have tax implications depending on your jurisdiction. E3D does not provide tax advice.

Risk Disclosure: Cryptocurrency transactions involve significant risk. Only use funds you can afford to lose. The E3D platform makes no guarantees regarding token value, liquidity, or protocol performance.
