#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Option 1: Using a Credit Card or Swapping Tokens on Your Web3 Wallet**</mark>

For this example we will use Keplr. [Open your Keplr extension](https://wallet.keplr.app/) and either buy crypto through a third party or use your current tokens to swap or you can swap tokens:

1. Click the Swap Icon at the bottom of the page.

2. Select the token you hold and swap it for SCRT
3. Hit Next and confirm the transaction
4. Go to your [Portfolio](https://app.shadeprotocol.io/portfolio) on the Shade App and confirm you have SCRT
5. Now you can swap tokens, borrow SILK, and do so much more

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Option 2: Bridge Assets**</mark>

1. Use the Bridge feature to bridge from a chain you currently have assets on [app.shadeprotocol.io/bridge](http://app.shadeprotocol.io/bridge) such as Ethereum to Secret Network or Noble to Secret Network. Our Bridge page supports multiple chains.

3. Click Bridge and confirm the transaction
4. Now you should have USDC (Noble) in your portfolio

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Option 3: Move from a CEX to Shade's DEX**</mark>

Each CEX has different ways to transfer your assets to Shade's DEX. We covered three popular CEX's in [this post.](/shade-protocol/get-started/step-1-connect-your-wallet/four-ways-to-get-funds-onto-the-shade-app.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shadeprotocol.io/shade-protocol/get-started/step-1-connect-your-wallet/four-ways-to-get-funds-onto-the-shade-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
