#1

I’m new to Uniswap Wallet and crypto in general, (for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692) and I’m a bit confused about how to add cash to Uniswap wallet so I can start swapping tokens. (for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692)I understand that I can’t just deposit regular fiat money like with a bank account, but the terminology is throwing me off.(for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692)

Here’s what I think the flow is, and I’d love if someone could confirm or correct me step by step:(for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692)

First, I need to install and set up the Uniswap Wallet app or browser extension, (for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692) then create or import a wallet and safely store my recovery phrase.

To “add cash,” I either buy crypto using the built‑in “Buy with card/bank” providers in the wallet interface, or I receive coins from another wallet or a centralized exchange.(for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692)

If I use the “Buy” option, I choose how much I want to spend (in my local currency), pick a provider like MoonPay or similar,(for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692) and they send ETH or another token directly into my Uniswap Wallet address.

If I already have crypto on an exchange (like Binance or Coinbase),(for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692) I can just copy my Uniswap Wallet address or scan the QR code, then send ETH or stablecoins to that address.

I also read that I always need a bit of ETH for gas, (for help :telephone_receiver::telephone_receiver:CALL NOW +1¨8O1¨730¨9692) so if I only send USDC or another token, I might not be able to move or swap it until I have some ETH in the same wallet.

Am I understanding this process correctly?
