Similarly to when going on a long and exciting trip, there are some things that need to be taken care of before the light in the home is switched off for the final time before the journey.

First things first! You will need to obtain some coin and for Explorer Guild it is STX token. It can be done in several exchanges, but we will outline the most popular and therefore ones that are easiest to use.

1. Set up an account on an exchange where you can obtain STX.
Binance
OkCoin

2. Deposit EUR/US
There are multiple options to do it and each of the exchanges, you will have to figure out which one suits best for you. Here you can see below the options offered on Binance.

3. Buy BTC or USDT

You will need to buy BTC or USDT so you can then buy STX tokens. It is because there are currently no direct trading pairs that allow you to buy STX directly with USD or EUR for that matter.

- Buy STX at the bottom left part of the page ( pretty obvious clues are BUY STX ) after filling the inputs with the amount you want to buy or with the amount of BTC you are willing o sell.

6. Transfer funds from Binance to your Hiro wallet.
To do that you will need to go to Wallets section in Binance and find "withdraw" section nearby your STX token balance.

First on Binance you should go to top right navigation, find "Wallet", open the dropdown and select "Fiat & Spot".

That should bring you to the section that you see in the screenshot below. Here you would need to first find your STX balance ( type in the 1. input "STX" ).

Then once you see your STX balance, go to "withdraw" section (2. green circle) and there you will be asked to enter your STX address. Instructions on how to find your address in Hiro wallet you can find below.

You can find your Stacks address by opening your Hiro wallet extension and clicking on either Receive ( it will take you to a different section where you will have an explicit copy your address ) or Copy Address if you haven't done any transactions with your wallet.
