Get HBAR
HBAR is the native token of the Hedera network. It is used to pay transaction fees, similar to ETH on the Ethereum network. HBAR can be obtained through various methods:
Centralized Exchanges
HBAR is available on many exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, KuCoin, and MEXC. A full list of exchanges that support HBAR can be found here: CoinMarketCap.
Fiat-to-Crypto Gateways
HBAR can be purchased using various payment methods such as credit/debit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. These transactions can be conducted in your bank account's local currency through fiat-to-crypto gateways like MoonPay or Banxa. You can access these services either directly on their websites or via the HashPack wallet.
Discord Faucet
The SaucerSwap Discord server offers a faucet bot that dispenses small amounts of HBAR.
Here's how to get started:
Open Discord and navigate to the SaucerSwap server.
Follow the Wickbot prompts to verify your Discord account.
After verification, navigate to the faucet bot channel and enter
!sparechange <YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>. Use either your Hedera account ID (e.g.,0.0.123456) or your EVM address from MetaMask (e.g.,0x1D66f32F...5d716DdC).Your account will be funded with a one-time allotment of $0.275 worth of HBAR.
The main goal of the faucet is to provide you with a minimal amount of HBAR. You should use this HBAR to cover the network fees for swapping any tokens you may have - such as tokens bridged through Hashport - for more HBAR. The newly acquired HBAR can then be used to pay network fees on subsequent transactions.
