# Dark Forest Presale Tutorial

If you are here, you probably want to get access to the Dark Forest Presale, and you’re at the right place. **Here is a quick tutorial to show you how to proceed :**

**1.** First step, you must buy USDC.e and add it to your Metamask. For example, here you can Swap your AVAX to USDC.e (<https://traderjoexyz.com/trade?inputCurrency=AVAX&outputCurrency=0xa7d7079b0fead91f3e65f86e8915cb59c1a4c664#/>)

**2.** Then click on “Add USDC.e to Wallet”, go to the Dark Forest Presale in the Presale page. At first you need to approve USDC.e

**3.** Then confirm and wait for the transaction to be approved

**4.** When the transaction is approved you can refresh the page and buy your $DF! (The minimum amount is $**20** and the maximum is $**500**)

**DISCLAIMER :** If you participate in the presale you can only make one transaction on the dApp, so put the desired amount directly. You have the obligation to create nodes with your **DF** tokens, after the addition of liquidity it will be impossible for you to use your **DF** tokens, so be careful with it. Don’t forget any **presale tokens** on your wallet.

**5.** When you have your DF tokens, go back to the home page and then you will be able to mint your Forest(s).

You have the choice to create several Forests by dispatching the number of tokens on each of them, you can also put all your DF tokens in a Forest.
