#### <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)
