Step-By-Step Guide

Using Balancer to buy GIV is extremely easy.

Go to Balancer. Connect your wallet by clicking “Connect Wallet” at the top right. We recommend Metamask.

2. Then, click on the “Token to Buy” column and find “GIV”. If GIV can’t be found, copy and paste the token contract address: 0xf6537fe0df7f0cc0985cf00792cc98249e73efa0

3. Select the token you want to sell for GIV. We recommend USDC or ETH, but any token listed on Balancer should work.

4. Set the amount that you want to buy and then click “Swap”:

Once you confirm the transaction, your GIV should arrive in your wallet!

Staking Rewards

As soon as you buy your tokens on Balancer, you can immediately stake them on Balancer to qualify for bonus rewards (~20M GIV), or stake them on CryptoLocally’s Finance Wallet (20% APY).

As summarized in details of the staking rewards article, approximately 6 million GIV was to be rewarded to the liquidity providers in the USDC/GIV Balancer pools in the first month. Now, 1M of the unsold tokens will be burned, while the other half will be distributed as additional staking rewards for liquidity providers in October. This increases total staking rewards this month to be approximately 20M GIV. Therefore, it can be estimated that the staking rewards will be in the range of around 200–800% APY on capital contribution. This helps incentivize liquidity provision for the whole community, and rewards token holders risking impermanent loss.

Watch out for Scams!
