### Gettin' Started

Like with all blockchain, CLV requires all users to hold some native $CLV tokens to pay for gas and buy other tokens.

### Setup Wallet

The best wallet to use is Metamask or CLV Wallet. For extra security, you can connect your Metamask to a hardware wallet like Ledger.

* Follow [this guide](https://docs.moonbeam.network/builders/get-started/moonriver/) to set up Metamask and connect it to CLV

### Buyin' $CLV

$CLV is available on many major crypto exchanges, such as Binance, Coinbase and Kucoin.

When buying $CLV, please be aware that $CLV tokens exist on 4 chains:

* as an ERC20 token on Ethereum Mainnet
* as a BEP20 token on BNB Chain
* as a Substrate Native token on CLV Mainnet
* as an EVM Native token on CLV Parachain

For our purposes, we want to end up with $CLV on the CLV Parachain. Here's [a guide](https://docs.clv.org/use-clv-chain/beginners-guide/how-to-get-usdclv) outlinin' the different ways to get $CLV.

### Bridgin' tokens to CLV

By usin' Wanchain's crosschain bridges, you can bring many tokens to CLV, includin' but not limited to $USDC and $USDT.
