Let's make it clear


To fully engage with Polkaverse, acquiring SUB tokens, the gas token for the Subsocial Parachain in Polkadot, is essential. While the process may initially seem complex, this step-by-step guide will seamlessly lead you through the necessary actions, ensuring that you ultimately possess SUB tokens in your wallet, ready to interact with Polkaverse applications. In summary, the journey involves purchasing DOT, transferring them to our DOT Blockchain wallet, bridging DOT to the HydraDX blockchain for a swap to obtain SUB tokens. Finally, we send SUB tokens from the HydraDX blockchain to the Subsocial Parachain. That's it! 🤓
