# 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](how-to-bridge-assets "mention") for more detailed information & solution)

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

**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.
