How to buy $GARY

$GARY trades on Solana. The token is the same wherever you buy — what differs is convenience, fees, and slippage. For the typical buyer, Jupiter is the right answer.

Path 1 — Jupiter (recommended)

Jupiter is the best Solana DEX aggregator: it routes your trade across every pool to get you the best price. Lowest fees, lowest slippage, no account needed.

1. Have a Solana wallet with SOL or USDC. (See the fund-wallet section below.)
2. Open Jupiter: jup.ag/swap
3. Connect your wallet (top right).
4. From the You're paying dropdown pick SOL or USDC. From You're getting paste the $GARY mint:
   8c71AvjQeKKeWRe8jtTGG1bJ2WiYXQdbjqFbUfhHgSVk
5. Enter an amount. Review slippage (1% is the default; raise if you're trading >$5k).
6. Click Swap, approve in wallet. Confirmation in seconds.

Direct deep-link: SOL → $GARY on Jupiter

Path 2 — Coinbase or other centralized exchanges

If $GARY gets listed on a centralized exchange you trust, you can buy directly with USD on the exchange and withdraw to your Solana wallet.

1. Check listing status on the exchange's $GARY page (search the exchange for "GARY token").
2. Buy with USD or USDC.
3. Withdraw to your Solana wallet's address. Always send a small test withdrawal first.
4. Confirm the test arrives, then send the rest.

If $GARY isn't listed on the exchange you use, the typical path is: buy SOL on the CEX → withdraw SOL to your Solana wallet → swap on Jupiter. This is the most common route.

Path 3 — Raydium, Orca, Phoenix, or any Solana DEX

$GARY has direct pools on Raydium and other DEXes. Jupiter aggregates them for you, but you can trade direct if you prefer.

• raydium.io/swap — paste the mint address into the output field.
• orca.so — same flow.
• Phoenix, Meteora, Lifinity — order-book or concentrated-liquidity venues.

Direct pool trades occasionally beat Jupiter when one specific pool has fresh liquidity that the aggregator hasn't routed yet. For 99% of buys, Jupiter wins.

Fund your wallet first

You need SOL or USDC in your Solana wallet to swap. Two easy ways:

• Coinbase → buy SOL → withdraw to your wallet's Solana address. Send a tiny test first.
• MoonPay or Transak on-ramps inside Phantom — buy SOL with a card, lands in the wallet directly. Higher fees than CEX but instant.

Watch out for

• Wrong mint — always paste 8c71AvjQeKKeWRe8jtTGG1bJ2WiYXQdbjqFbUfhHgSVk. Copycats with similar names are common.
• High slippage — if Jupiter shows >2% price impact on your size, split the trade.
• Phishing — only jup.ag, raydium.io, orca.so. Never connect to a site you got from a DM.
