If you have never used crypto before, this is for you. Follow it in order and you cannot go wrong. Take your time, and do not skip the warning right below.
⚠ The one rule you must never break.
You must never send money directly from an exchange (Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, etc.) to the EURO address or to anyone. An exchange account is not a wallet you can buy EURO from. First you move your ETH out of the exchange into your own wallet (Steps 1 to 4 below), and only then do you buy EURO from that wallet (Step 5). If you send straight from an exchange, that money is gone for good. It cannot be recovered, and we are not responsible for any mistake you make.
In plain words, you need just two things: (1) your own wallet and (2) a little ETH inside it, on the Base network. Here is exactly how to get both.
This is an app you control, where only you have the password and secret recovery phrase. All of the wallets below support the Base network, which is where EURO lives. Pick one, install it, and write your recovery phrase on paper. Never share that phrase with anyone, ever.
The most popular wallet. Phone app or browser extension. It already knows the Base network (choose "Base" from the network list at the top).
Supports BaseA separate app from the Coinbase exchange. Base is Coinbase's own network, so it works out of the box. Great for beginners.
Supports BaseSimple, mobile-first wallet. Base is built in. Owned by Binance's ecosystem, easy to use on the phone.
Supports BaseBuilt inside the Binance app (Menu → Web3 Wallet). Handy if you already use Binance, because you can withdraw straight into it. Supports Base.
Supports BaseBuilt into the OKX app, or as a browser extension. Supports Base. Convenient if you buy your ETH on OKX.
Supports BaseA polished wallet by the DeBank team, loved for clear transaction previews. Base is included.

Supports BaseWallet plus portfolio tracker. Supports Base. Good if you like seeing everything in one place.
Supports BaseA physical device for the safest storage. Use it through Ledger Live or with MetaMask, and add the Base network. Best for larger amounts.
Supports BaseUse whichever exchange is available in your country (Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, Kraken, KuCoin, Crypto.com, and others). You are buying plain Ethereum (ETH), nothing fancy.
This is the most important step. You are moving the ETH out of the exchange into the wallet from Step 1. When it asks which network, you must choose Base.
Check twice before you confirm: the network is Base, and the address matches yours (compare the first 4 and last 4 characters). If your exchange does not offer Base, do not withdraw on a different network hoping it lands on Base. Instead use an exchange that supports Base (Binance, Coinbase, OKX and Bybit all do). New to this? Send a tiny test amount first (for example a couple of dollars of ETH), confirm it arrives, then send the rest.
Now that the ETH is in your own wallet on Base, buying EURO is easy. There are two ways, pick whichever you like.
Go to eurofi.org → Buy EURO, connect your wallet, and swap ETH or USDC into EURO right on the page. Your keys always stay yours.
Please read. Crypto transactions are final and cannot be reversed. If you send from an exchange directly, send on the wrong network, or paste a wrong address, the funds are lost and no one can recover them. EURO is a self-custody utility token, it is not an investment, its price can go down, and you are responsible for your own transactions. EUROFI cannot be held responsible for mistakes. If in doubt, ask in our community before you send.
