    How to Buy APEX

    You have two primary routes to acquire APEX: via centralized exchanges (CEXs) or decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on Arbitrum Chain. Below is a step-by-step guide for each method.

    Option 1: Buy on a Centralized Exchange (CEX)

    1. 1

      Pick a listing exchange

      Platforms like Bybit, MEXC, Bitget and others currently list APEX/USDT trading pairs.

    2. 2

      Create and verify your account

      Register with the exchange and complete required KYC (identity verification).

    3. 3

      Deposit funds

      Transfer a stablecoin (USDT, USDC) or fiat (if supported) into your exchange wallet.

    4. 4

      Place a buy order

      Search for APEX/USDT, choose a market order for instant execution or a limit order at your desired price.

    5. 5

      Withdraw to your wallet

      Once your APEX arrives, you can withdraw it to your self-custody wallet on Arbitrum.

    Option 2: Buy on a Decentralized Exchange (DEX)

    1. 1

      Connect your wallet

      Use an Arbitrum-compatible wallet (e.g. MetaMask , Rabby Wallet , Brave Wallet , OKX Wallet)

    2. 2

      Add APEX token contract

      If not auto-listed, add APEX using its contract address (verify it on official sources).

    3. 3

      Swap for APEX

      Swap a base token (e.g. USDT, ETH) for APEX via an Arbitrum chain DEX (Uniswap) that supports the APEX token.

    4. 4

      Confirm the transaction

      Approve gas fees and wait for blockchain confirmation.

    Tips & Things to Watch

      Check contract address carefully to avoid scams (copy from official site or explorers).
      Compare trading fees on CEX vs DEX before executing.
      Always leave gas tokens (ETH) in your wallet so you can make transactions.
