### Step 1: Get $CHALLENGE.GG or ETH

Firstly, you need to have either $CHALLENGE.GG or ETH in your Web3 wallet. These are the accepted currencies for entering matches on Challenge.gg.

Don't worry if you don't already have $CHALLENGE.GG coins. You can purchase these directly within our app, or via any exchange that supports $CHALLENGE.GG. More details about purchasing coins can be found in the next section.

### Step 2: Purchase Coins (Optional)

In case you do not hold any $CHALLENGE.GG coins, follow these steps:

1. Inside the Challenge.gg app, navigate to the purchase option.
2. Choose the desired amount of $CHALLENGE.GG coins you wish to buy.
3. Pay with your preferred currency. The transaction will be processed and the coins will be transferred to your account.

Alternatively, you can also buy $CHALLENGE.GG coins from supported exchanges. Make sure to transfer them to your Web3 wallet to use them on Challenge.gg.

### Step 3: Pay the Entry Fee

To join a match, simply pay the entry fee using either $CHALLENGE.GG or ETH. Verification is done via your Web3 wallet, ensuring all transactions are securely handled on the blockchain.

### Upcoming Implementations

In our commitment to make Challenge.gg more inclusive and versatile, we are working on incorporating additional crypto assets into our payment system. In the near future, users will be able to pay entry fees with USDT, BNB, and BUSD. This will allow players to participate in their favorite tournaments using their preferred crypto assets. Stay tuned for updates on this!

We're excited to provide you with a platform where you can not only enjoy playing the games you love but also utilize your favorite cryptocurrencies. Good luck, and may the best challenger win!
