How to Buy GOLDEN DUCAT (GLD) on the Decentralized Exchange Raydium

 

GOLDEN DUCAT (GLD) is traded on the decentralized exchange Raydium in the GLD/SOL pair. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you safely and quickly purchase GLD tokens.

 

1. Set Up a Solana Wallet

 

To use Raydium, you need a wallet that supports the Solana blockchain. The most popular options are:

✅ Phantom (phantom.app)

✅ Solflare (solflare.com)

✅ Backpack (backpack.app)

 

📌 Steps to set up a wallet:

​

1. Visit the official website of your chosen wallet.

2. Install the browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Brave) or the mobile app.

3. Create a new wallet and securely store your seed phrase (this is your private key, never share it!).

 

2. Fund Your Wallet with SOL for Transaction Fees

 

Since Raydium operates on the Solana network, you need SOL tokens to cover transaction fees.

 

📌 Where to buy SOL:

• On a centralized exchange (Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.), then withdraw SOL to your wallet.

• Via the built-in swap feature in Phantom or Solflare.

 

📌 How to fund your wallet:

1. Buy SOL on an exchange.

2. Transfer SOL to your wallet by copying your wallet address (starting with “5” or “A”).

3. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed.

 

💡 Recommended balance: 0.1–0.2 SOL (to cover network fees).

 

3. Connect Your Wallet to Raydium

​

1. Go to Raydium.io.

2. Click “Connect Wallet”.

3. Select your wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.).

4. Approve the connection.

 

4. Swap SOL for GLD on Raydium
