# How to get GAS (CRO)

## What is GAS?

When the wallet is set up and Network is added, we can move on to adding GAS to your wallet.

Different type of GAS is needed before making any transaction in different Network.

| Networks  | GAS  |
| --------- | ---- |
| Cronos    | CRO  |
| Fantom    | FTM  |
| Avalanche | AVAX |
| BSC       | BNB  |

How you get GAS to New Network depends on your Initial Network.

## How to get GAS (buy CRO)?

The **easiest** and **fastest** way to add GAS on Cronos Chain is to:

### Method 1: Buy Other Assets from DEX & Bridge Over

1. **Buy ETH / FTM / AVAX / BNB** on your **Current Network**
2. Use a **Bridge** to move the GAS (**CRO**) into **New Network** (Please refer to [How to BRIDGE assets](/docs/main-guide/how-to-bridge-assets.md) for more detailed information & solution)

### Method 2: Buy CRO from CEX (Crypto.com / Kucoin) & Withdraw to Destination Wallet Address in Cronos Chain

Let's use [<mark style="color:blue;">**Crypto.com**</mark>](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.mona.android) as an example:

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:**

For security reason, **new wallet address** takes **24 hours** to get **whitelisted**. Investors need to **wait 24 hours** before withdrawing to the new wallet address.

Hence, we suggest you to perform the following steps **as earlier as possible** (**at least 24 hours before our Genesis**) to make sure you have assets to stake in our protocol.
{% endhint %}

1. **Download** [Crypto.com](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.mona.android) Mobile App & **Sign Up**
2. Click on **"Home" section** *(at the bottom of the App), c*lick on **"Trade"** & press **"Buy"**
3. Select **"Cronos"** on the "Buy Cryptocurrency" dropdown list box
4. Select the **amount of CRO** you want to **purchase** & click on **"Buy"**
5. Once the purchase is successful, CRO should be shown under **"Accounts" section** *(at the bottom of the App)* under Crypto Wallet
6. Click on **"Cronos"** under **Crypto Wallet** which shows the **CRO balance** you have
7. Click on **"Transfer"** & press **"Withdraw"**
8. Click on **"External Wallet"** & **add** the **Wallet Address** you wish to receive the CRO
9. Select **"Cronos"** on the dropdown list box
10. Make sure **"Cronos"** is chosen under **"Select Network"** *(Sending to a non-CRO wallet will result in lost funds)*
11. Enter **Wallet Address** & **tick** "I am the owner of this wallet address" **box** *(Recipient Name should be automatically filled)*
12. Select **Wallet Type** as **Private Wallet** & input **Wallet Name** *(Name it whatever you want)*
13. Enter the **6-digit verification code** generated by your **authenticator app**
14. Once you successfully added the Wallet Address, click on **"Withdraw"**
15. Enter the **amount of CRO** you want to **withdraw** to the Wallet & press **"Withdraw"**
16. **Review** the Withdrawal Information and click on **"Confirm"** *(Please note there is a small transaction fee of CRO applied.)*
17. Enter **mobile verification code** & **6-digit verification code** generated by your authenticator app & click on **"Confirm"**
18. Your CRO should be in your Wallet soon!
