3️⃣Step 3a: Hit The Button -> Buy SHD in >30 seconds

What is The Button

"The Button" is a feature that simplifies entry into a new economy (Shade's ecosystem) by allowing users to buy $SHD with zero slippage and zero trading fees, while also providing access to exclusive support and community resources.

The following are supported assets of The Button:

  • USDC.nbl

  • USDC.axl

  • wETH.axl

  • ATOM

  • SCRT

How to Buy $SHD in under 30 seconds

1️⃣ On the Shade App, click Utilitiesarrow-up-right.

2️⃣ At the top of the page click 'The Button'

3️⃣ Select the asset in the 'from' drop down

4️⃣ Enter the amount ($5000 USD minimum)

5️⃣ Click "HIT THE BUTTON" and approve the transaction

🎉 Congratulations, you now own *$SHD tokens (without paying for slippage and trading fees) and will be invited to an exclusive Telegram community.

*SHD tokens can be claimed after 24 hours.


How does The Button work

After a user presses The Button, the protocol re-routes the deposited purchase amount and buys SHD on ShadeSwap, ensuring that direct buy pressure is applied to SHD. The Button is a powerful feature that ensures that large buyers of SHD can enter without paying large amounts on slippage and trading fees.

What's the catch?

Here’s the catch: The Button can only be pushed a limited number of times! For example, at the launch of The Button there was only 20k SHD available for purchase for each of the supported assets. That’s a limited amount of slippage-free liquidity.

The Button is replenished often and shouldn't be missed out on.
