#### **Step 1: Prepare Your Wallet** <a href="#step-1-prepare-your-wallet" id="step-1-prepare-your-wallet"></a>

* Use a decentralized wallet compatible with Wallet Connect, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
* Ensure your wallet is set to the Ethereum network (ERC-20).

#### **Step 2: Fund Your Wallet with ETH** <a href="#step-2-fund-your-wallet-with-eth" id="step-2-fund-your-wallet-with-eth"></a>

* Ethereum (ETH) is required for transaction gas fees, even if you plan to purchase $DPN using USDT.
* Acquire ETH via platforms like Coinbase, Binance, or any other reputable exchange, and transfer it to your wallet.

#### **Step 3: Visit the DeepNetAI Uniswap Link** <a href="#step-3-visit-the-lightchain-ai-presale-platform" id="step-3-visit-the-lightchain-ai-presale-platform"></a>

* Click the "Connect Wallet" button to link your wallet to the platform.

#### **Step 4: Select Token as Payment Method** <a href="#step-4-select-payment-method" id="step-4-select-payment-method"></a>

* Choose to pay using ETH or USDT by selecting the respective button on the Uniswap Exchange.

#### **Step 5: Enter Purchase Amount** <a href="#step-5-enter-purchase-amount" id="step-5-enter-purchase-amount"></a>

* Input the amount of ETH or USDT you want to use.
* The Uniswap dashboard will display the number of $DPN tokens you’ll receive.
* Confirm your selection and click "Buy."

#### **Step 6: Approve and Confirm the Transaction** <a href="#step-6-approve-and-confirm-the-transaction" id="step-6-approve-and-confirm-the-transaction"></a>

* Verify transaction details in your wallet, including the amount and recipient address.
* Confirm the transaction. Wait for the Ethereum network to validate your transaction.
  * For USDT Payments: Approve the USDT contract in a separate step before completing the final transaction.

**Step 7: Success!**

* Once confirmed, your $DPN tokens will be sent directly to your wallet.
