Ethereum is now available on Valora. Wondering how to get started? Here’s what you need to know:
It’s finally here. Ethereum is now available for the entire Valora community. There’s a whole new world of Web3 opportunities on the same mobile experience you know and love - and we can’t wait for you to try it.
So, how does access to the Ethereum network integrate with your current assets, and the actions you can take in-app?
We’ll walk you through the basics of using Ethereum with Valora in a quick three-part guide - starting with the process of buying ETH.
There are countless opportunities for you to build a portfolio and grow your crypto assets. But before you begin exploring everything Ethereum has to offer on Valora, you must first add funds. All transactions on Ethereum require gas fees to be paid in ETH; meaning you must have ETH in your wallet (not just CELO or cUSD) before you can participate in any activity on the Ethereum network.
Here are three quick how-tos for getting started:
If you’ve used Valora before, then you’re likely familiar with the quick actions at the top of your home screen - shortcuts to send, receive, buy, swap, and withdraw your assets. Tapping or selecting the “Buy” action is the fastest way to purchase crypto on Celo - and now, Ethereum.
You will take the same basic journey when purchasing ETH in Valora - with only a few additional steps.
If you already have Ethereum assets in a separate crypto wallet - transferring or sending these funds to a Valora wallet should be seamless.
Once you’ve purchased ETH, you should see those funds reflected in your total balance almost instantly. For a specific breakdown of how much of each asset you have and which network they are on, you can view and manage your portfolio on Valora’s Assets page.
1. To view your portfolio of assets, simply tap “View Assets” on your home screen.
2. Under “Tokens,” you can view your assets and their real-time value.
3. Tapping into each asset will also give additional information about your asset’s position, as well as quick actions you can take should you choose to “Send, Swap, or Buy” more ETH.
Once you add Ethereum assets to your wallet, you gain entry into a host of new actions - whether it be sending ETH to your friends, swapping on the Ethereum network, or browsing an endless array of Ethereum-based dapps - everything is simplified in one user-friendly app. So congrats - you now get to sit back, relax, and enjoy the growing list of applications available on the leading blockchain network, all from the safety and comfort of your favorite wallet…
…(Valora). 💚
