Acquire RON token
Overview
The RON token is the ecosystem token for the Ronin blockchain which enables you to pay for transactions on Ronin and participate in securing the network via staking to validators. There are several ways to purchase RON and other tokens on Ronin. You can purchase them through a centralized exchange (CEX), On-ramp solutions, and a decentralized exchange (DEX).
Set up Ronin Wallet
To store, trade, and receive the RON token you need a cryptocurrency wallet that supports the Ronin blockchain — Ronin Wallet. For setup instructions, see Get started with the Ronin Wallet mobile app.
Purchase RON through a CEX
A CEX is a business that allows you to buy RON with traditional currency. After purchasing RON from a CEX, you can then send it back to your Ronin Wallet to enjoy Ronin dApps. Centralized exchanges can be restricted in certain geographical locations, and applicable fees differ among exchanges.

Purchase RON using Katana DEX
Katana (katana.roninchain.com) is the official DEX supported on Ronin. It allows you to exchange RON for other tokens in the Ronin ecosystem (such as AXS and SLP) using existing liquidity pools provided by the community. Katana is powered by smart contracts, which means there are fewer geographical restrictions.
To use Katana, you need to acquire funds on Ronin. You can do that by either withdrawing from a CEX into Ronin, or by transferring from Ethereum to Ronin using Ronin Bridge.
The Ronin Bridge method requires that you already have funds on the Ethereum blockchain.
