How to buy crypto using MetaMask
MetaMask has partnered with Transak to offer a seamless way to buy and top up crypto in MetaMask, using a debit card, wire transfer, or Google or Apply Pay. Users in the US and UK will have the option to natively deposit tokens via Transak. This method takes place entirely within MetaMask, and allows you to buy crypto and top-up without leaving the app.
MetaMask continues to offer other providers for buying crypto, supporting other regions and tokens. By selecting your region, you will automatically be presented with the options available to you.
Buy crypto
You can also buy crypto in MetaMask Portfolio by selecting 'Move crypto', and then 'Buy', in the left sidebar. If you use MetaMask Extension, you can find the 'Buy/Sell' button on the left of your MetaMask view, which will redirect you to the MetaMask Portfolio.
You can also buy crypto through your linked centralized exchange (CEX) account directly in MetaMask Portfolio. For more information, see our guide here.
The following guide walks you through the process of buying crypto in MetaMask Mobile, using version 7.61 or later. Your screen may look slightly different based on your region.
- Open MetaMask Mobile. Select the 'Buy' button under your account balance on the left of the screen.
-
Click 'Buy'.
-
On the next screen, you will select the token you want to buy, and the network you want to buy it on. You can search for a certain token by searching its name or address.
- Select the account you want to purchase the token to, and verify your region is correct.
- Enter the amount you want to purchase. You can also change the token from this screen if you want to buy a different token.
- Select your payment method.
-
When you're ready to continue, click 'Continue' or 'Get quotes'.
-
You will be presented with a quote that is the best option for your purchase. For users in certain regions, including the US, MetaMask has partnered with Transak for a seamless way to buy crypto and top-up without leaving the app. For these users, you'll automatically see Transak's quote, but can see more options by clicking the Settings icon in the top left of the screen. For other users, you can toggle between providers by clicking the arrows next to the provider's name.
- From there, you'll be taken to the provider's platform to complete your purchase, or you will finish your purchase within MetaMask if you're using Transak.
How do quotes work in MetaMask?
When you see quotes while buying crypto in MetaMask, it's because we're using an aggregator of on-ramp providers to provide you with the best possible options.
When you enter how much of a token you want to buy, MetaMask's integrations with our vetted providers will spring into life, and fetch you quotes from each. These quotes automatically refresh every 10 seconds to account for gas price fluctuations, minimizing the potential for failed transactions (if gas prices rise after submitting the transaction, your quoted total may be too low to cover transaction costs by the time the transaction is picked up by the network).
Since you input your region and currency during the process, the quotes you're presented with are automatically configured for your circumstances: so no need to worry about whether you'll be able to use the available payment methods in your region, or whether your region is supported by that provider. If it appears on the quote list, you will be able to buy as quoted. Easy.
Regional availability
While we want to make MetaMask's features accessible to as many people around the world as possible, buying crypto in MetaMask (also referred to as on-ramp) is not available in every country or region.
原因在于与我们合作的公司因其运营受到不同法律法规的影响，无法在每个司法管辖区开展业务。
When you buy crypto in MetaMask, we will automatically show you your options based on what region or country you are in.
I can't buy crypto in my country/region.
如果您的国家/地区不受支持，您仍然可以通过其他方式将代币放入您的钱包。
-
例如，一种途径可能是在中心化交易所（CEX）购买代币并将其存入 MetaMask。 请参阅我们的指南了解更多信息。 此外，请记住，这种途径就像充值一样，通常需要实名认证（KYC）步骤，例如证明您的身份，可用性也可能因地区而异。 CEX 与 MetaMask 的不同之处还在于其托管性质，这意味着您无法控制您的账户私钥。
-
You could also arrange a P2P (peer-to-peer) deposit into your account by sending simple transactions.
无论您选择哪种方法，请在汇出款项之前自行调研，确保所用平台是安全的。 始终坚持良好的 Web3 安全习惯。
故障排除
如果我的交易失败了该怎么办？
If your transaction fails, we recommend you contact the provider's support team first, since MetaMask does not execute your transaction.
For any issues you encounter with MetaMask itself (such as problems selecting your region or currency, or with the buying process), get in touch with MetaMask Support via the 'Contact Support' button on the Support homepage.
If you're facing problems using a provider's platform, such as payment limits, payment methods, or KYC, we recommend you get in touch with their support teams directly.
为什么我的交易仍然待定？
To get your ordered crypto into your wallet, the provider you choose must execute transactions on-chain. This means that, as a minimum, you will need to wait as long as it takes for the transactions to be processed by the network (block time).
Once you submit your request, you can see the pending transaction in your MetaMask activity.
If your bank account was charged and there are delays in receiving your crypto, we recommend you contact the provider's support team directly. Pending purchases (not yet confirmed on the blockchain) are usually caused by the on-ramp provider's pre-authorization processes.
