Buying INRC Token on Uniswap might sound technical, but with the right guide it takes less than 10 minutes. This comprehensive walkthrough covers everything from setting up your first crypto wallet to completing your INRC purchase — written for complete beginners.

What You Need Before Starting

  • A desktop computer or mobile device
  • Google Chrome, Firefox, or Brave browser (for MetaMask extension)
  • Some MATIC tokens (for gas fees — usually less than ₹1 worth)
  • The tokens you want to swap (MATIC, USDC, ETH on Polygon, etc.)
⚠️ Only use official URLs. Always verify you're on app.uniswap.org — never click links from social media or DMs claiming to offer INRC.

Step 1: Install and Set Up MetaMask

MetaMask is the most widely used crypto wallet for DeFi interaction. Here's how to set it up:

  1. Visit metamask.io (type it directly — don't Google it)
  2. Click "Download for [your browser]"
  3. Install the browser extension
  4. Click "Create a new wallet"
  5. CRITICAL: Write down your 12-word seed phrase on paper. Never store it digitally. Anyone with this phrase controls your wallet.
  6. Confirm your seed phrase when prompted
  7. Set a strong password for local access

Step 2: Add Polygon Network to MetaMask

By default MetaMask connects to Ethereum mainnet. You need to add Polygon:

  1. Click the network selector (top of MetaMask, shows "Ethereum Mainnet")
  2. Click "Add network" → "Add a network manually"
  3. Enter these details:
Network Name: Polygon Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://polygon-rpc.com
Chain ID: 137
Currency Symbol: MATIC
Block Explorer: https://polygonscan.com

Click "Save" and switch to Polygon Mainnet.

Step 3: Get MATIC for Gas Fees

You need a tiny bit of MATIC to pay for transaction fees. Options:

  • Buy MATIC on a CEX (WazirX, CoinDCX, Binance) and withdraw to your Polygon wallet address
  • Bridge from Ethereum: Use the Polygon Bridge at wallet.polygon.technology
  • Use 0.1 MATIC — that's enough for dozens of Polygon transactions (costs under ₹10)

Step 4: Buy INRC on Uniswap V3

  1. Go to app.uniswap.org
  2. Click "Connect" and select MetaMask
  3. Make sure you're on Polygon network (check top right)
  4. In the "Swap" interface, select what you want to swap FROM (MATIC, USDC, etc.)
  5. For the "To" token, click "Select token" and paste the INRC contract address:
    0xe0B74D04706274Bc1B57b9a47E3e220D827834fc
  6. Enter the amount and click "Swap"
  7. Review the transaction details and click "Confirm Swap"
  8. MetaMask will pop up — review and click "Confirm"

Step 5: Add INRC to MetaMask & Verify

After swapping, you need to add INRC to see it in MetaMask:

  1. In MetaMask, scroll down and click "Import tokens"
  2. Paste: 0xe0B74D04706274Bc1B57b9a47E3e220D827834fc
  3. Token symbol (INRC) and decimals will auto-fill
  4. Click "Add Custom Token" → "Import Tokens"
  5. Your INRC balance will now appear!

You can also verify your holdings on PolygonScan by searching your wallet address.

Pro Tips & Safety Rules

  • Never share your seed phrase — INRC team will never ask for it
  • Set appropriate slippage — 0.5–1% is usually fine for INRC. Higher slippage = worse price
  • Start small — test with a small amount before larger purchases
  • Bookmark official URLs — always use bookmarks, not search results
  • Use a hardware wallet if holding significant amounts (Ledger, Trezor)
  • Only invest what you can afford to lose — INRC is a speculative early-stage project
