The presale is the cheaper of the two by design. Every stage costs more than the last, and the listing price sits above all of them. ## Buying in the Presale {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Create your Chainspin account Sign up at [dashboard.chainspin.com](https://dashboard.chainspin.com/register) with your name, email and a password. This account is your presale dashboard: it is where you buy, where you choose your unlock speed, where your tokens stake, and where you claim them later. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Choose your amount and your unlock speed Before you pay, you pick how quickly you want your tokens released: **Flexible**, **Committed**, or **Diamond Lock**. The slower you choose, the more bonus tokens you get for the same money, up to 25% extra. This choice is made once, at purchase. The full schedule is in [Vesting](/spin-token/vesting.md). {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Pay Pay in crypto or by card, whichever suits you: **Crypto:** Ethereum, Tether (USDT), BNB, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron **Card and mobile:** Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay You do not need to already hold a specific coin to take part. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Start earning immediately Your presale tokens stake from the dashboard straight away, before listing, earning from the Player Rewards pool. They also set your VIP tier, and locked tokens count in full towards it. So the ladder from Shrimp to Whale starts climbing on day one rather than at listing. See [Rewards](/rewards.md). {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## The Price Rises in Stages The presale runs across **twelve stages**. Each stage has a fixed price in USDT, and when a stage sells out or its timer runs down, the price steps up to the next one. It never steps back. The live stage, the current price and the countdown to the next increase are shown on the presale widget at [chainspin.com](https://chainspin.com), which is always the accurate source. What is fixed is the other end: **$SPIN lists at $0.12**. Every presale stage is priced below that. ## What Happens After You Buy Your tokens are yours from the moment you pay, but they are not all liquid at once. That is deliberate, and it applies to everyone including the team: * **At listing**, 10% of your tokens unlock immediately. * **Days 1 to 21** are the Earning Period. Nothing new unlocks for anyone, but your locked tokens are staked and earning throughout. The house completes its first three weekly buybacks and burns in this window. * **Want them sooner?** Play. Every $1 you wager unlocks 2 locked $SPIN early, up to half your locked balance. * **From day 22**, daily claims begin and run on the schedule you picked, with no cliff dates. The reasoning behind that shape, and the worked example, is in [Vesting](/spin-token/vesting.md). ## Buying After Listing After the token generation event, $SPIN trades on the open market. The presale is complete at that point, so you buy through an exchange instead, starting with Uniswap on Ethereum. 1. Fund a Web3 wallet with ETH on the Ethereum network, enough for the purchase plus gas. 2. Go to Uniswap and paste the official contract address below. Always paste the address rather than searching by name, because anyone can name a token "SPIN". 3. Swap, confirm in your wallet, and the tokens land in it. Centralised exchange listings follow as they are secured. Any that go live will be listed on the [Links](/links.md) page. ## Adding $SPIN to Your Wallet If your wallet does not display the token automatically, add it manually with these details: | Field | Value | | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | Contract address | `0xF70Ee4A01d25Dd7e1a7fe92dF5b47eFf8F36f32B` | | Network | Ethereum | | Symbol | SPIN | | Decimals | 18 | The contract is published and audited. You can read it yourself on [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/address/0xf70ee4a01d25dd7e1a7fe92df5b47eff8f36f32b), and the audit report is on the [Audit](/spin-token/audit.md) page. {% hint style="warning" %} **Check before you send.** Chainspin will never message you first asking you to send funds, connect a wallet, or share a seed phrase. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your recovery phrase, for any reason. Buy only through [chainspin.com](https://chainspin.com) or [dashboard.chainspin.com](https://dashboard.chainspin.com/register), and verify any contract address against the one on this page. Every official channel we run is listed on the [Links](/links.md) page. If it did not come from there, treat it as fake. {% endhint %} ## If Something Goes Wrong If a payment does not show up in your dashboard, or a purchase fails partway, contact with the transaction hash or payment reference. For anything else, or the [Help Center](https://chainspin.com/help-center). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.chainspin.com/spin-token/how-to-buy.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
