Getting Started

Buying $WUD

$WUD is a Polkadot-native memecoin designed for games, NFTs, and community interaction.

$WUD trades against DOT in two pools: the main pool on Hydration, and a pool on Polkadot Asset Hub. Both work from the gavunwud.com Trade page.

Make sure your wallet (SubWallet, Nova Wallet, Talisman) is ready before buying.

How to Buy WUD

Buy WUD on gavunwud.com

1. Open the Trade page and click Connect at the top of any page.
2. Choose Nova Wallet, SubWallet, Talisman or Polkadot.js and approve the connection.
3. Pick where to swap: On Hydration (the main pool) or On Asset Hub (uses the DOT already in your wallet on Asset Hub, no bridging).
4. Enter the amount of DOT to swap, or drag the slider. The quote is read live from the pool you picked.
5. Review the minimum received and the fee, click Buy, and sign in your wallet.

If the other pool would give you noticeably more $WUD, the page says so and offers to switch.

The Trade page also moves $WUD between Hydration and Asset Hub, sends $WUD to another wallet, and lets you add liquidity to the Asset Hub pool right on the page. The Get started tab explains the safety rules, including the 20,000 $WUD minimum balance on Hydration.

Step by Step

Buy WUD on Hydration DEX

1. Open the Hydration swap page (pre-set to swap DOT for WUD).
2. Click Connect Wallet and choose your Polkadot wallet extension (SubWallet or Talisman).
3. Make sure you hold DOT on Hydration (deposit or cross-chain transfer it in if needed).
4. Enter the amount of DOT to swap; the WUD amount is calculated automatically.
5. Review the rate and fees, click Swap, and sign the transaction in your wallet.

Buy WUD on Nova Wallet

1. Download and set up Nova Wallet on your phone, and fund it with DOT.
2. Open the in-app browser / dApps tab and open Hydration.
3. Connect your Nova account and select DOT → WUD on the swap screen.
4. Enter the amount, confirm the swap, and approve the transaction.

Buy WUD on SubWallet

1. Install SubWallet (browser extension or mobile app), create or import an account, and fund it with DOT.
2. Open the Hydration swap page (on mobile, via SubWallet's in-app browser).
3. Connect SubWallet, enter the DOT amount to swap for WUD.
4. Click Swap and approve the transaction in SubWallet.

Buy WUD on Talisman Wallet

1. Install the Talisman browser extension, create or import an account, and fund it with DOT.
2. Open the Hydration swap page and connect Talisman.
3. Enter the DOT amount to swap for WUD.
4. Click Swap and approve the transaction in Talisman.

Buy WUD with MetaMask

Coming from Ethereum or Base? You can buy $WUD right on gavunwud.com with MetaMask, without setting up a Polkadot wallet first.

1. Install MetaMask and keep your recovery phrase offline.
2. On the Trade page, click Connect and choose MetaMask. It adds the Hydration network for you.
3. Open the Cross-chain tab on the Trade page and deposit ETH, USDC or USDT from Ethereum. ETH travels through Snowbridge and USDC or USDT through Wormhole, the same bridges the Hydration app uses. It usually arrives in 15 to 30 minutes, and your first deposit also pays your network fees, so you never need to buy HDX. Keep a little ETH in MetaMask for Ethereum gas.
4. Back on the Trade page, choose ETH, USDT or USDC under Pay with, enter an amount and press Buy. MetaMask asks you to sign, and the fee comes out of your deposit. Your first buy must be at least 20,000 $WUD.

MetaMask works for buying, selling, sending and burning $WUD on Hydration. Asset Hub and the games' wallet sign-in still need a Polkadot wallet such as Nova, SubWallet or Talisman.
