# How to purchase $Rainbow and create your first node!

1. First you will need to add Avalanche Network to your MetaMask. 
2. Find your networks and select add network from the drop down menu.
3. You will then need to fill out the required field:

* **Network Name**: Avalanche Network
* **New RPC URL**: <https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc>
* **ChainID**: 43114
* **Symbol**: AVAX
* **Explorer**: <https://snowtrace.io/>

Now that you have set up the Avax network you can transfer Avax to your MetaMask using your  favorite exchange or cross chain swap!

You will then copy the contract from our discord Official Links page, or announcements page upon launch!&#x20;

You will then be able to import $Rainbow into Trader Joe and swap Avax for the stable coin USDC to swap for $Rainbow to create your very first Unicorn!
