# How to Buy MFORGE on PancakeSwap

MFORGE is available for decentralized trading on PancakeSwap on BNB Smart Chain (BSC).

This guide walks you through the process of acquiring MFORGE using a compatible Web3 wallet such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.

If you are new to decentralized exchanges, follow each step carefully and always verify that you are interacting with the correct MFORGE token before confirming a transaction.

## Before You Begin

You will need:

| Requirement              | What to Prepare                                                                     |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Compatible Web3 wallet   | Use a BNB Smart Chain-compatible wallet such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.           |
| BNB Smart Chain selected | MFORGE is deployed on BNB Smart Chain. Make sure you are using the correct network. |
| USDT on BNB Smart Chain  | The official MFORGE liquidity pair is MFORGE/USDT.                                  |
| A small amount of BNB    | Keep enough BNB in your wallet to pay BNB Smart Chain network fees.                 |

{% hint style="warning" %}
Having USDT alone is not enough to complete an on-chain transaction if your wallet does not have sufficient BNB for the network fee.
{% endhint %}

## Buy MFORGE Step by Step

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Step 1: Open the Official MFORGE PancakeSwap Link

Use the **Buy MFORGE** button provided at the bottom of this guide.

It will take you to PancakeSwap with the MFORGE trading route prepared for you.

For your security, avoid searching for MFORGE through unknown links shared in messages, comments or unofficial groups.

Always access MFORGE through an official METAFORGE channel or verify the token contract before proceeding.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2: Connect Your Wallet

On PancakeSwap, select **Connect Wallet**.

Choose your preferred wallet, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet. Your wallet will ask you to approve the connection.

Connecting your wallet allows PancakeSwap to display your available balances and prepare transactions. Connecting your wallet does not transfer your funds.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Never enter your seed phrase or private key into PancakeSwap, METAFORGE, Telegram or any website requesting it.
{% endhint %}

![Connect your wallet to PancakeSwap](https://3872776510-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F08vfHE6fGfRkDIQr3If7%2Fuploads%2FDt2dgFRznxvbdvVowm2l%2Fmforge-step-2-connect-wallet.jpg?alt=media)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 3: Make Sure You Are on BNB Smart Chain

Check the network displayed in PancakeSwap and your wallet.

It should show:

**BNB Chain / BNB Smart Chain**

MFORGE is deployed on BNB Smart Chain. If your wallet is connected to another network, switch to BNB Smart Chain before proceeding.

![Select BNB Smart Chain](https://3872776510-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F08vfHE6fGfRkDIQr3If7%2Fuploads%2FUx9zGVK2s4eIcDsg34zZ%2Fmforge-step-3-bnb-chain.jpg?alt=media)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 4: Select USDT as the Token You Are Paying With

In the **From** section of the swap interface, select:

**USDT on BNB Chain**

Enter the amount of USDT you would like to swap.

For example:

**25 USDT**

PancakeSwap will calculate an estimated amount of MFORGE you may receive based on the current available market price, liquidity, routing and applicable fees.

The amount of MFORGE received is not fixed and can change with market conditions.

![Select USDT and enter the amount](https://3872776510-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F08vfHE6fGfRkDIQr3If7%2Fuploads%2F5WiIs2KTyMCzwcuFKZup%2Fmforge-step-4-select-usdt.jpg?alt=media)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 5: Confirm MFORGE as the Token You Are Receiving

In the **To** section, MFORGE should be selected.

Before continuing, verify:

|          |                                              |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Token    | MFORGE                                       |
| Network  | BNB Smart Chain                              |
| Contract | `0x8437100eD18dbea089e0FA3CaAae7f6f40e4A05C` |

Do not rely on the token name or ticker alone.

Anyone can create a token with a similar name or ticker. The contract address is the authoritative identifier for the MFORGE token.

Only proceed when the contract address matches the official MFORGE contract published by METAFORGE.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 6: Review Your Swap

PancakeSwap will display an estimate of the MFORGE you will receive.

Before proceeding, review:

* USDT amount being exchanged
* Estimated MFORGE received
* Network
* Token contract
* Trading route
* Price impact
* Slippage
* Applicable fees

The final amount received may differ slightly from the initial estimate because decentralized market prices can move while a transaction is being processed.

If anything looks incorrect, do not confirm the transaction.

![Review the MFORGE swap](https://3872776510-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F08vfHE6fGfRkDIQr3If7%2Fuploads%2FzpRiYckX4UtqnQNtvaYb%2Fmforge-step-6-review-swap.jpg?alt=media)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 7: Approve USDT If Required

If this is your first time using your USDT with the relevant PancakeSwap contract, your wallet may first ask you to approve USDT.

This approval allows the PancakeSwap smart contract to use the USDT required for your swap.

Review the approval request carefully before confirming it in your wallet.

Depending on the transaction, this approval and the actual swap may require separate wallet confirmations and separate network fees.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 8: Select Swap

Once everything has been reviewed, select **Swap**.

PancakeSwap will show the final transaction details. Review them again, then select **Confirm Swap**.

Your wallet will open and ask you to approve the blockchain transaction.

![Confirm the MFORGE swap](https://3872776510-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F08vfHE6fGfRkDIQr3If7%2Fuploads%2FJQ8ZTTo0Jc72QUj9r8V7%2Fmforge-step-8-confirm-swap.jpg?alt=media)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 9: Confirm the Transaction in Your Wallet

Your wallet will display the transaction and estimated BNB network fee.

Review the transaction. If everything is correct, select **Confirm**.

The transaction will then be submitted to BNB Smart Chain.

Do not close or repeatedly resubmit the transaction while it is being processed.

![Confirm the transaction in your wallet](https://3872776510-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F08vfHE6fGfRkDIQr3If7%2Fuploads%2FwbpvDR3RFD5jTqNfKws6%2Fmforge-step-9-confirm-wallet.jpg?alt=media)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 10: Transaction Complete

Once the transaction has been confirmed on BNB Smart Chain, your MFORGE has been acquired.

The MFORGE will be held directly in the wallet you used to complete the transaction.

You can also view the transaction through a BNB Smart Chain block explorer using the transaction hash.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Can't See MFORGE in Your Wallet?

<details>

<summary>Add MFORGE to your wallet manually</summary>

Don't panic.

Completing a successful transaction does not necessarily mean every wallet will automatically display the token immediately.

If MFORGE does not appear, select **Import Token** or **Add Custom Token** in your wallet and enter:

|                  |                                              |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Network          | BNB Smart Chain                              |
| Token            | MFORGE                                       |
| Contract Address | `0x8437100eD18dbea089e0FA3CaAae7f6f40e4A05C` |

Always copy the contract address from an official METAFORGE source.

Once imported, your MFORGE balance should become visible in your wallet.

</details>

## Important Security Checks

Before acquiring MFORGE, always verify:

* You are using the official PancakeSwap interface.
* Your wallet is connected to BNB Smart Chain.
* The MFORGE contract address is correct.
* You have sufficient BNB for network fees.
* You understand the amount of USDT you are exchanging.
* You have reviewed the transaction before confirming it.

Never:

* Share your seed phrase.
* Share your private key.
* Send funds to someone claiming they will purchase MFORGE on your behalf.
* Trust MFORGE contract addresses posted by unknown accounts.
* Connect your wallet to unofficial websites claiming to offer MFORGE.
* Approve a transaction you do not understand.

{% hint style="danger" %}
METAFORGE administrators will never ask for your seed phrase or private key.
