Afreum Ramps
Afreum Ramps explores the various ways you BUY or, in some cases, SELL Afreum tokens such as AFR, AFRX, and flexible country tokens such as ANGN using local fiat currencies and supported payment methods. This allows you to access the Afreum Ecosystem and take advantage of apps such as Afreum Save, Afreum Stake, Afreum Trade, Afreum Pay and Afreum Cash
Purchase XLM (Stellar) or USDC (Stellar) with Debit or Credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bank Transfers, Mobile Money, and more. Then, use a Stellar blockchain wallet such as Afreum Wallet to SWAP or TRADE XLM or USDC for Afreum tokens.
It's way easier than it sounds and below, we will show you how to do it using Stellar wallets, popular crypto exchanges, and reliable on-off ramps depending on whether you are new to crypto, or an experienced crypo user. Let's get started.
HOW TO BUY AFREUM TOKENS
If you are new to crypto, don't worry. You are in good hands. The first thing you need to do is create a new Stellar blockchain address. You can do this in any Stellar wallet but Afreum supports Lobstr Wallet (Android, Windows PCs, Mac OS, iOS), and the Freighter Wallet (Windows PCs, Android via the Kiwi Browser) browser extension for signing transactions so these are recommended.
Please refer to the Afreum FAQs for how to set up Stellar blockchain addresses using these wallets, and then use them to access Afreum.
RECOMMENDED FOR NEWBIES
Out of these 2 options, we recommend Lobstr for new users. The wallet is available as a web app and also in the Google Play and Apple app stores and you can easily use debit and credit cards, and other methods to purchase XLM or USDC, which you can then trade for Afreum tokens from within your Lobstr wallet -- or from within Afreum after connecting your Lobstr wallet to Afreum. There is also an option to cash in and cash out with local fiat via MONEYGRAM, available in some countries.
HAVE XLM/USDC, NEED AFREUM
After purchasing XLM or USDC from within Lobstr Wallet, you can find Afreum tokens in the Trade interface of Lobstr by searching for the token (e.g. AFR or AFRX) directly or afreum.com. The same applies if you are using the Freighter Wallet browser extension.
A NOTE OF CAUTION
Please note that there are many fake Afreum tokens on the Stellar blockchain, so you should make sure that the tokens you select are issued by afreum.com or afreum.net (for Afreum stable tokens).
CONNECTING TO AFREUM.COM
Once you have acquired Afreum tokens in Lobstr or Freighter as described above, you can now connect your wallet address to Afreum.com, by clicking the wallet icon at the top right of the Afreum app, and selecting Lobstr or Freighter, or switching to the address you wish to use from the Afreum icon on the top right of the page if you are already connected. You must be logged into Lobstr or Freighter.
BRING ON THE REWARDS
You will now be able to earn up to 15% APY in Afreum Save, 5% APY plus a share of swap fees in Afreum Stake, trade between Afreum tokens and Stellar tokens in Afreum Trade, and much more. Welcome to the Afreum Ecosystem and if you encounter any issues, give the community a shout out on Telegram
CASHING OUT FROM AFREUM
OK, I need to buy a new iPhone, how do I cash out from the Afreum Ecosystem? There are many ways to cash out from Afreum Ecosystem, but the recommended method for crypto newbies is to do the above in reverse. Trade or swap Afreum tokens for XLM or USDC, and then use Lobstr's SELL feature to convert those tokens to local currency and send to your debit card or bank account. You also have the option to cash out into local currency via Moneygram. For more options please check the list of On-Off Ramps at the bottom of the page. Please note that the SELL or MONEYGRAM functionality may not be available in all countries, but you have other options to cash out locally via Afreum Pay and Afreum Cash
If you already have an account in a Stellar blockchain wallet such as Lobstr, Stellarterm, Stellar X, or Freighter then the battle is half won. You can swap or trade XLM, USDC or any other Stellar token, for Afreum tokens directly in those wallets. There are many fake Afreum tokens on the Stellar blockchain, so you should make sure that the tokens you select are issued by afreum.com or afreum.net (for Afreum stable tokens).
STELLAR EXPERT. NEED REWARDS
So now you have Afreum tokens in your Stellar wallet, what next? Afreum supports signing transactions directly from your Lobstr or Freighter account. If you are already using Lobstr or Freighter, you simply connect your wallet address to Afreum.com, by clicking the wallet icon at the top right of the Afreum app, and selecting Lobstr or Freighter, or switching to the address you wish to use from the Afreum icon on the top right of the page if you are already connected. You must be logged into Lobstr or Freighter.
NON-LOBSTR OR FREIGHTER WALLETS
If you are using a different wallet, you can download Lobstr or Freighter and add Stellar addresses from your existing wallet by using the Import Address functions of these supported wallets. Refer to the Afreum FAQs for how to import Stellar blockchain addresses into Lobstr or Freighter, and then use them to access Afreum apps such as Afreum Save, Afreum Stake, Afreum Trade, Afreum Pay, and Afreum Cash to earn yield, rewards, cashbacks, and commissions. For example, you can earn up to 15% APY in Afreum Save, 5% APY plus a share of swap fees in Afreum Stake, and so on.

For existing users of centralized crypto exchanges such as Binance or Coinbase who do not have a separate Stellar wallet, you need to follow these 3 steps to use Afreum:
STEP 1:
Ensure that your exchange supports XLM or USDC (Stellar). Please note USDC must be USDC on Stellar blockchain, not Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain or some other chain. Go to the Deposit section of your exchange account and find XLM or USDC (Stellar). You will know you are on the right track when the exchange deposit address displayed starts with a "G" and is 56 characters long. This is a Stellar address, meaning that your exchange supports the Stellar blockchain. Use any of the payment methods supported by your exchange to purchase XLM or USDC (Stellar). Initially, XLM is recommended as you will need it to fund the Stellar adddress you create in the next section.
STEP 2:
Download Lobstr Wallet (Android, Windows PCs, Mac OS, iOS), or the Freighter Wallet (Windows PCs, Android via the Kiwi Browser) browser extension. Creating new accounts in these wallets will also create a new account for you on the Stellar blockchain. Copy the Stellar address from Lobstr or Freighter, return to your centralized exchange such as Binance, and use the Withdraw or Transfer feature to send the XLM tokens your Lobstr or Freighter address. This transaction should take only a few seconds, after which the XLM should be visible in your wallet. Now use the SWAP or TRADE feature of Lobstr or Freighter to swap the XLM for Afreum tokens.
A NOTE OF CAUTION
Please note that there are many fake Afreum tokens on the Stellar blockchain, so you should make sure that the tokens you select are issued by afreum.com or afreum.net (for Afreum stable tokens).
STEP 3:
Once you have acquired Afreum tokens in Lobstr or Freighter as described above, you can now connect your wallet address to Afreum.com, by clicking the wallet icon at the top right of the Afreum app, and selecting Lobstr or Freighter, or switching to the address you wish to use from the Afreum icon on the top right of the page if you are already connected.
