1. **Get an Ethereum-Compatible Wallet**
   * Mochiswap recommends using the [Phantom Wallet](https://phantom.app/) (please ensure you have the version compatible with Ethereum).
   * Alternatively, you can use any reputable wallet such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or Trust Wallet. The steps will be quite similar.
2. **Fund Your Wallet with ETH**
   * You can buy ETH on a centralized exchange (e.g., Coinbase, Binance, Kraken) and then send it to your wallet’s ETH address.
   * Some wallets also allow you to purchase ETH directly via a built-in fiat on-ramp (credit card, bank transfer, etc.).
3. **Open the Wallet Browser and Access the dApp**
   * In your wallet’s in-app browser (Phantom, MetaMask, or similar), **paste the following link**
   * [https://mochi.finance](https://mochi.finance)
   * This link will take you to the Mochiswap dApp interface.
4. **Connect Your Wallet**
   * Look for a “Connect Wallet” or similar button on the dApp page.
   * Grant any necessary permissions for the site to read your public wallet address (this is standard).
5. **Enter the Amount of Mochi You Want to Buy**
   * On the dApp, choose “Mochi” (or its contract address) from the dropdown if required.
   * 0x080C707a81e9eb6B0b1a14494Fe4BEB530722F77
   * Enter how much ETH you want to spend, or how many Mochi you want to receive.
6. **Confirm the Transaction**
   * Check the transaction details, including gas fees, and make sure the total cost is as expected.
   * Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
   * Wait a few moments for the blockchain to process the transaction. Once done, your newly purchased Mochi tokens should appear in your wallet.

#### Potential Transaction Pitfalls

* **Slippage**:
  * When many people are trading a token or when liquidity is low, the price can move quickly. Make sure to set an appropriate “slippage tolerance” in the dApp’s trade settings, or your transaction might fail. A common slippage tolerance range is 0.5%–3%, but it can vary based on market conditions.
* **Gas Fees**:
  * Always keep extra ETH in your wallet to cover transaction fees (gas). If you do not have enough ETH for gas, your transaction will fail or remain pending.
* **Network Issues**:
  * If the network is congested, transaction confirmations might be delayed, causing a timeout or failure.
* **Wrong Contract Address**:
  * Always double-check that you are using the official Mochi token contract address (especially if you have to add it manually) to avoid purchasing the wrong token.

Following these steps should guide you through a safe purchase of the Mochi token. Be sure to keep your wallet’s recovery phrase safe, and always double-check transaction details before confirming. If you run into issues, consult the wallet’s support resources or the Mochiswap community for troubleshooting tips. Enjoy your new Mochi tokens!
