Tutorial: How to buy Ether (ETH) and send it to MetaMask

Investing in tokenized assets on Brickblock’s smart contract platform is only possible with ETH (Ether) at the moment.

As we move closer to listing the world’s first tokenized real estate asset, it’s important to have ETH in your Ethereum wallet as soon as possible (the process of buying ETH can take a few days as exchanges need to verify your identity).

Since you must have MetaMask to connect to Brickblock’s smart contract platform, we highly recommend using MetaMask as your Ethereum wallet.

Disclaimer: The advice presented in this tutorial is only a recommendation and the author nor Brickblock take any responsibility for potential hacks, or stolen/lost funds.

Background info

Anyone in the world (excluding residents or nationals of certain countries as explained on the platform page) can participate in the sale of the world’s first tokenized real estate asset. It is mandatory to register for the whitelist and submit KYC info before you can invest.

Once your MetaMask wallet is funded with ETH, investing in the tokenized real estate asset is a very easy process:

1. Invest

Buy digital shares of the property using ETH from MetaMask.

2. Receive PoA-Tokens

Proof-of-Asset (PoA) tokens represent all the economic benefits of ownership. You will receive the tokens after sending ETH from MetaMask. If the property is not completely funded, you will be able to reclaim the ETH you contributed. Read a full breakdown of Brickblock’s token structure here.

3. Earn passive income

Your PoA tokens generate passive monthly income from the profits generated by the real estate asset. Your share of the profits will be sent to your Ethereum (MetaMask) address.

Before you invest

There are a few necessary requirements before you can participate in the tokenized real estate sale:

1. First, you need to set up a MetaMask (ERC-20 compatible) wallet. This is where you will invest your ETH from and where you will receive your Proof-of-Asset (PoA) tokens.
   Important: MetaMask is both an ETH wallet and Ethereum blockchain browser. You must have MetaMask to connect to Brickblock’s smart contract platform. We therefore highly recommend using MetaMask as your ETH wallet. We have created a tutorial for how to do this here.
2. Register for the tokenized real estate asset sale whitelist. Have your passport and camera ready. Register here.
3. Get ETH (Ether). Choose an exchange where you will purchase ETH. We provide some of the most popular options in the next section.
4. The final step is transferring your ETH from the exchange to your MetaMask wallet.

Read our tutorial for setting up a MetaMask wallet here.

We break down steps 3 and 4 in more details below. Once you’ve completed all four steps, you’re ready to participate in the sale!

Choosing an exchange to buy ETH

As mentioned above, at the moment, the only way to invest through Brickblock’s smart contract platform is with ETH. The most common way to obtain ETH is to buy it on an exchange with FIAT currency (US dollars, Euro, GBP, Yen, etc). There are dozens of exchanges to choose from — doing some research will help you pick one that’s best for you.

Depending on the exchange you are using, you may be putting your capital at risk. Please be careful of phishing attempts and scammers.

Before you purchase, you have a chance to look over your order. It’s crucial that you inform yourself about what is a fair price for Ether, which may depend on the exchange you are using.

Depending on where you live, we have provided the names of some of the most popular exchanges you can use.

North America:

• Coinbase (the easiest and fastest way to buy ETH)
• Gemini
• Bitstamp
• Kraken

Europe:

Africa:

• Luno
• The best exchange will depend on the country you live in.

South America:

• Bitso
• Cryptomarket
• Cex.io
• The best exchange will depend on the country you live in.

Asia:

• Luno
• Zebpay
• Upbit
• Bithumb
• Coinone
• Bitbank
• The best exchange will depend on the country you live in.

Registering on the exchange

The remaining steps in this tutorial will be the same no matter which exchange you choose. For the purpose of this guide, we will register and buy ETH on Kraken.

1. Register for the exchange. Keep your login and password safe. It’s recommended that you use multi-factor authentication for your account.

Keep your login and password safe

2. Verify your identity. Make sure you have your passport and proof of address (such as a utility bill). Depending on how much ETH you want to buy, you need to pay attention to how much you can withdraw. You might have to verify yourself to a higher level (level 3/4 on Kraken, for example) by completing some extra steps.

Note: Verification can take days or weeks depending on the exchange. Please verify yourself in advance so you don’t miss out on participating in this milestone.

Tier 3 verified account has a monthly withdrawal limit of $200 000 on Kraken

Now, you wait. Once your exchange account is verified, you can proceed to the next step: buying ETH.

Buying ETH

Transfer money from your bank account to your newly created account at a cryptocurrency exchange. Please note that transfers may take a few days before you see your balance on the exchange.

Note: If you don’t have a bank account or don’t want to give up your privacy by sending your ID to a third party like Kraken, there are other options like buying ETH from an ATM or locally from other people. These are usually riskier and more expensive ways of acquiring ETH.

In our tutorial, we are going to continue with Kraken. On Kraken, you have to click on ‘Funding’, then on ‘choose your fiat currency to fund your exchange account’. In our tutorial we are going to choose Euro (EUR).

Choose your preferred way of transferring the money and follow the instructions precisely. You will need to send money from your bank account to the exchange’s bank account. These steps are not shown in this tutorial because they are very dependent on your bank, country of residence, and local currency. Once you have been credited the money you transferred to your exchange, you can continue.

Now it’s time to purchase your ETH. Click on ‘Trading’ and choose your desired method of purchasing ETH from the currency list. Since we funded our account with Euros (EUR), we have to choose ETH/EUR to buy ETH.

Once you’ve selected ETH/EUR, you fill in how much Ether you want to purchase. Notice that Kraken will immediately show you how much your purchase will cost in EUR. In our example, we are buying 1 Ether, which is 559.52 EUR at the time of writing.

Note: Depending on the exchange you are using, your capital may be at risk at this step. The simplest way to purchase Ether is to make a market order. A market order is the quickest and easiest way to buy or sell. However, this does not guarantee you the best price. If you want to know the exact price you’re paying, it’s best to do a limit order. That means if a trader agrees with the price you’re offering, they will execute your limit order. But it’s up to you to figure out what you want to pay the ETH you’re buying. More info on the different type of orders can be found here.

Before you purchase, you have a chance to look over your order. It’s crucial that you inform yourself about what is a fair price for Ether, which may depend on the exchange you are using.

Once you’re satisfied with your order, click ‘Submit Order’ and wait for the transaction to be executed.

If your order is executed (closed), you have successfully purchased your ETH.

Final step: Transferring your ETH to MetaMask

Now that you have purchased ETH on the exchange, it’s time to send it to your MetaMask wallet. Remember: MetaMask is essential for investing through Brickblock. See our tutorial for creating a MetaMask wallet here.

Go to the exchange and click on ‘Withdraw’, then on ‘Ether’.

Add your MetaMask wallet to your list of saved Addresses. You do this by first copying the address from your MetaMask wallet:

Then, paste it into the address field on Kraken.

MAKE SURE THE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CORRECTLY COPIED OR ELSE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY.

Once you have verified your address, choose the amount you wish to withdraw and click ‘Confirm Withdrawal’.

You should soon see your ETH balance on https://etherscan.io/address/YOUR ADDRESS HERE

Done!

You’re now ready to invest in the world’s first tokenized real estate asset. Further instructions will follow soon — for now, make sure you’ve registered for the whitelist.

How To Transfer Crypto From Kraken to MetaMask?

ExchangesJournalWalletsHow To Transfer Crypto From Kraken to MetaMask? Julian Joseph Lehmann

Intro – what are Kraken and MetaMask?

Kraken is one of the leading crypto exchanges globally that came to the scene in 2011. This means that Kraken has been around for a very long time, and that’s not a common thing in the crypto market. The exchange has over 6 million active users and is available in more than 190 countries.

One of the most popular non-custodial wallets is the MetaMask wallet since it claims to have more than 30 million active users. One of the first things you will notice about MetaMask is that it’s extremely easy to use, and it’s suitable both for beginners and experienced traders. 

This article will explain how to move your crypto funds from Kraken to your MetaMask wallet. It should not be a complicated procedure. Without further ado, let’s jump into details.     

Btw. Metamask wallet works great with hardware wallets like Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus or Trezor T wallet. 

Open your Kraken account 

The first step is to log in to your Kraken account by entering your username (email) and password. Click on the “Sign in” button, as shown below.

Visit Kraken Now

Click on the “Withdraw” button 

Alright, now navigate through the “Funding” tab.

Once you open the “Funding” tab, click on the “withdraw” button that is located between the “deposit” and “transfer” buttons.

Find crypto you would like to transfer

The next step is to find the coin you would like to transfer. Type it in the search box, click on it once you find it.

Find your MetaMask wallet address

Alright, now we need the address of the wallet where we want to send the coins, MetaMask, in this case. Log in to your by entering the password and then clicking on the “confirm’ button. 

The address of your wallet is located above the balance of the main coin (the main coin is the one being used to pay for the gas fees of the mainnet you are using – for instance, ETH is being used for the Ethereum mainnet). Just click on the address, and it will be automatically copied to your keyboard. 

Paste the address on the Kraken “withdrawal” section

If you have already sent coins to some wallet, the address will appear automatically as shown below.

If you are sending the coins for the first time, you have to click on the “add Ethereum address” button.

Now paste the address of your MetaMask wallet and then click on the “Add new withdrawal address” button.

Enter the amount 

Now enter the amount you would like to transfer. We always suggest two things here – 1. Not to withdraw the whole amount of your balance, and 2. not to withdraw everything you would like to send at once. Usually, traders advise to withdraw 10% and if everything is fine, then send the rest.

Confirm your withdrawal

Double-check if the details you entered are correct, and if everything is fine, click on the purple “Withdraw” button.

Check your MetaMask balance

The final step is to check your MetaMask balance. The coins can be visible on your balance in a few minutes, but it can take a few hours as well. If your balance is still not updated after a few hours, contact Kraken’s customer support and ask them were your coins actually sent and when will they arrive on your MetaMask.
