I went from GBP to ANT, which remain in an Arbitrum account atm. The reverse process should swap them back again though.
Add GBP to Revolut
Buy a little Ethereum for gas. I bough £50 worth to lessen the impact of Revolut fees (£1.50).
Buy some USDC (as much as you want to swap for ANT).
Create your ERC20 account on an Ethereum wallet, or re-use one you already have. I used MetaMask.
Transfer USDC and some ETH (£20 was plenty) to above ERC20 wallet.
Create a USDC bridge from Ethereum to Arbitrum One in MetaMask. Toggle to allow it to add gas too. The amount should be how much you want to spend on ANT.
In MetaMask, change network to Arbitrum One
Click swap and convert from USDC to ANT. I had Arbitrum gas left over from prior step to fund that transaction.
Gaze at screen with a smug face, having landed your ANTs!
Please take care. Above is from memory. I take no responsibility for lost money/tokens, etc!
I did another purchase later in the day and it felt less intense! Ha!
The cheapest option is to send Euro/other fiat from Revolut to Coinbase and buy Ethereum. You send the ethereum for free to your address in Arbitrum One. You swap Ethereum for Ant directly in UniSwap.
Just to clarify, send ETH from coinbase to example MetMask, choose Arbitrum One network when sending from Coinbase. Always be aware of fees, it might cost less to bridge if fees to get fiat onto exchanges are higher and such. That is from what I understand from doing some research on youtube.
Another good idea is to buy in bulk, rather than lots of small transactions. On chain, it’s the same fee regardless of amount. Fiat transfers may be a percentage though.
I just bridged around $20 eth mainnet to arbitrum one on arbitrum.io and it only cost $0,29. Best bridge experience I ever had in my life, and it also seem cheap to go back to Ethereum mainnet, I can recommend,
Bridging is nice, but have you ever tried swaping shitcoins to whatever on https://swapspace.co ?
Did Storj to USDT on Arbitrum to buy ANT, also BTC-LN to USDT is available for a quick swap from Bitcoin
It’s not new, used it a few years ago and the last few days to get the cheap ANT.
There are a few similar services around… but I like this one the most, I think it has more “swaping” options.
The same thing happens to me. I did the whole process on February 6 and I have not received the ANT. I have verified my address in arbitrum One, I have registered the ANT token and no arrival transaction of the tokens appears Reviewed so far in Arbiscan.io
I actually made the mistake and didn’t hit ‘submit’ at first because the last 2 steps in the form are meant to be executed after (!) submitting the data (and then the instructions are gone…)
Edit:
Oh… Stupid me… That ofc was for the discord claim… Not the burn…
