Before beginning to farm on Aries, there are a number of prerequisites. The following instructions use Metamask wallet.

Requirements:

  1. Connect to the internet and install Metamask wallet on Google Chrome browser (Or on your smartphone).

  2. Obtain Ethereum (ETH) by exchanging fiat currency for ETH using a cryptocurrency exchange.

  3. Obtain stablecoins such as USDC, USDC, DAI by exchanging ETH for stablecoins using a Decentralized exchange.

Steps:

The following instructions will show you how to withdraw ETH from Binance to Metamask and how to obtain stablecoins using Metamask from Uniswap.

Transfer ETH from CEX to Metamask:

Go to the Metamask homepage https://metamask.io and install the Metamask extension on your Chrome browser

open the Metamask extension and copy your wallet address by clicking on it:

Uniswap is a decentralized exchange, all transactions are carried out on the Ethereum blockchain and take a varying length of time according to the 'Gas price' of your transaction.

Please remember: It is recommended to use at least $1500 of stablecoins for farming and you will need to retain some ETH in your metamask wallet to pay for gas when depositing to, and withdrawing from the farms.
