Buying a digital asset through ONCHAIN® Ramp is simple—even if it’s your first time.

Follow these steps to get started:


1. Open the purchase link

You’ll receive a unique link from a project team. This link takes you to a hosted page where you can buy that specific project-issued digital asset directly.

The page will look something like this:


2. Choose your purchase amount and currency

Enter how much you’d like to buy (in fiat), and select the currency you want to use—such as USD, EUR, or GBP.


3. Click “Continue”

Once your amount and currency are selected, click the blue Continue button to move to the next step.


4. Sign up with your email

Since you’re a new user, you’ll be asked to create an account. Enter your email address to begin.


5. Verify your email

You’ll receive a one-time code in your inbox. Enter this code to confirm your email and secure your account.


6. Complete a quick identity check (KYC)

For your first purchase, identity verification will most likely be required. ONCHAIN® Ramp will automatically prompt you to complete KYC through a simple, secure pop-up.


7. Follow the KYC prompts

You’ll be guided through a short identity verification process—usually just uploading a valid ID and completing a quick check. It typically takes a minute or two.


8. Review your order

Once KYC is complete, you’ll be brought to an order summary screen. Review the purchase amount, asset details, wallet address, network, and any applicable fees.


9. Confirm your purchase

Click Pay to finalize your order. A receipt will be sent to your email immediately after.


10. Watch your assets arrive

You’ll see on-screen updates as your order is processed. Most users receive their assets in under a minute, though network or payment conditions may cause short delays.


11. Open your wallet

Once complete, your tokens will appear in your wallet. You can view them directly in the ONCHAIN® Wallet or whichever connected wallet you used.
