You can buy PHNM directly inside the Phenom app using USDC on Base.
If you do not already have USDC in your Phenom wallet, you will first need to send USDC (on Base network) to your wallet address.
Step 1: Find Your Wallet Address
Open your token dashboard and go to the swap tab
Click your wallet in the top-right corner
Copy your Privy Wallet address
This is the address where you will send USDC on the Base network.
Important:
Only send USDC on Base. Sending funds on the wrong network can result in lost funds.
Step 2: Send USDC (Base) to Your Wallet
From your external wallet or exchange:
• Purchase or swap for USDC on the Base Network
• Paste your Privy wallet address when sending your USDC
• Confirm the transfer
Once the transaction confirms, your USDC balance will appear inside the Phenom app.
Step 3: Go to the Swap Tab
In the top navigation:
Select the Swap tab
Use the dropdown to switch to USDC → PHNM
Step 4: Enter the Amount
In the You Pay field:
• Enter the amount of USDC you want to use
• Or click MAX to use your full balance
You will see:
• The amount of PHNM you will receive
• The exchange rate
• Estimated minimum received
Step 5: Confirm the Swap
Review the details carefully
Click Swap USDC for PHNM
Confirm the transaction
Swaps are gasless.
You do not need ETH to complete the transaction.
Once completed, your PHNM balance will update in your wallet.
