# How to Buy Noon Assets

How to buy Noon's assets on our own website or on a decentralized exchange.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you're an institution looking to mint <mark style="color:violet;">**$USN**</mark> directly with the protocol (after passing KYB checks), that's a different process documented on [**Mint & Redeem**](/2.-usdusn-and-usdsusn/mint-and-redeem.md).
{% endhint %}

## <mark style="color:$primary;">Before you start</mark>

You'll need several items to buy <mark style="color:purple;">**Noon**</mark>'s assets on Ethereum:

* **A self-custody wallet.** Noon supports most major digital wallets (full list available on the [<mark style="color:purple;">**Noon**</mark>**&#x20;App**](https://app.noon.capital/swap/buy))
* **The tokens you wish to use to purchase&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Noon**</mark>**&#x20;assets.** You can see the list of tokens you can  purchase <mark style="color:purple;">**Noon**</mark> assets with on the [<mark style="color:purple;">**Noon**</mark>**&#x20;App**](https://app.noon.capital/swap/buy) (you can use a more extensive set of tokens directly on DEX)
* **A small amount of ETH for gas.** Any transaction on the Ethereum chain requires gas fees to be paid in ETH&#x20;

You should also confirm which chain you want to hold <mark style="color:violet;">**$USN**</mark> or <mark style="color:violet;">**$sUSN**</mark> on (<mark style="color:violet;">**$NOON**</mark> only exists on Ethereum). <mark style="color:violet;">**$USN**</mark> and <mark style="color:violet;">**$sUSN**</mark> live on multiple chains - after purchasing them on Ethereum, you can use the Bridge function on the Noon App to bridge <mark style="color:violet;">**$USN**</mark> or <mark style="color:violet;">**$sUSN**</mark> to your choice of supported chain. A complete list of supported chains are also available on the Noon App.

## <mark style="color:$primary;">Where to buy</mark>

The easiest way is on the [<mark style="color:purple;">**Noon**</mark>**&#x20;App**](https://app.noon.capital), which routes you to available liquidity in a just a few clicks. If you'd rather use a DEX directly, <mark style="color:violet;">**$USN**</mark><mark style="color:purple;">**,**</mark>**&#x20;**<mark style="color:violet;">**$USN**</mark> and <mark style="color:violet;">**$NOON**</mark> trade on **Uniswap** (and <mark style="color:violet;">**$NOON**</mark> also trades on KuCoin).

## <mark style="color:$primary;">Step by step</mark>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Connect your wallet

Connect your wallet to the Noon App. Confirm that you are on the right network.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select an output token

Set <mark style="color:violet;">**$USN**</mark>, <mark style="color:violet;">**$sUSN**</mark> or <mark style="color:violet;">**$NOON**</mark> as the output token.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter an amount

Review the quote, including the rate and price impact.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Check slippage

A small tolerance suits a stablecoin pair. Large price impact on a small trade indicates thin liquidity. Try another pool or use a smaller amount.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm the swap

Confirm the swap and wait for it to settle.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## <mark style="color:$primary;">Now what?</mark>

Now your money goes to work. Immediately.\
\
Hold <mark style="color:violet;">**$USN**</mark> and you earn <mark style="color:green;">**Noon**</mark> <mark style="color:green;">**points**</mark>. Hold <mark style="color:violet;">**$sUSN**</mark> and you earn yield plus (fewer) <mark style="color:green;">**points**</mark>, the hands-free way to grow your stack. Stake <mark style="color:violet;">**$NOON**</mark> to get access to governance rights, additional $NOON staking rewards via Open Staking, and direct monthly distributions via the Noon buyback program.

Either way, head to your [**Dashboard**](https://app.noon.capital) to watch it build and enjoy the earning.
