Start With $10: A Beginner's Guide to Discovering CANDY

There's a myth that keeps a lot of people out of crypto: that you need a big pile of money to get started.

You don't. CANDY's presale has a minimum purchase of just $10. That makes it one of the easiest ways for a first-timer to get hands-on experience with a crypto ecosystem, without betting more than they're comfortable with.

This guide is for complete beginners. No jargon, no pressure, just a clear path from curious to confident.

Why starting small is smart

When you're new to something, the best approach is usually to start small.

• You learn the process. Setting up a wallet, making a purchase and checking a transaction are skills. It's better to learn them with $10 than with $1,000.
• You limit your risk. Crypto is volatile. Starting small means a mistake or a price drop won't hurt much.
• You remove the pressure. With a small amount, you can focus on understanding the ecosystem rather than watching every price move.

Think of your first $10 as a ticket to learn, not a bet to win.

What $10 gets you

At CANDY's pre-seed price of $0.0004 per token, $10 works out to 25,000 CANDY.

Prices rise through the presale rounds, so the same $10 buys fewer tokens in later rounds:

The number of tokens isn't the whole story. What matters more is understanding what the coin is for.

What you're getting into

CANDY is the core coin of a connected ecosystem running on its own blockchain, CandyChain:

• Cardaxo: a crypto card that earns CANDY cashback on spending
• CandyRush: play-and-earn gaming
• CandyBet: on-chain prediction markets, coming soon
• AI Agent Marketplace: AI agents hired and paid in CANDY
• CandyVault: real-world-asset settlement: merchant rewards, gift cards and loyalty points, tokenised and settled in CANDY

Step by step: your first purchase

Step 1: set up a wallet

You'll need a crypto wallet you control. Because CandyChain is EVM-compatible, popular wallets like MetaMask work. When you create the wallet, you'll be shown a seed phrase, a list of words that acts as the master key to your funds.

Write it down on paper. Store it somewhere safe. Never type it into a website or share it with anyone.

Step 2: get funds into your wallet

You'll need some crypto in your wallet to pay with. Many people buy this on a regulated exchange and send it to their own wallet.

Step 3: go to the official site

Type cryptocandy.io directly into your browser, or use a bookmark. Don't click links from random messages, ads or social media comments; fake sites are a common scam.

Step 4: connect and buy

Connect your wallet, choose your amount (from $10), review the details and confirm.

Step 5: keep track

Keep a note of your purchase. After the presale, tokens unlock gradually: 10% at TGE (when the token goes live) and 90% over 18 months.

Safety habits that matter more than any amount

• The team will never DM you first. Anyone offering "support" in your messages is almost certainly a scammer.
• Nobody legitimate needs your seed phrase. Not CANDY, not CandyPulse, not any exchange.
• Double-check the website address every time.
• Be wary of promises. Anyone guaranteeing profits is not telling you the truth.
• Only invest what you can afford to lose. Even $10 should be money you won't miss.

Beyond buying: explore the ecosystem

The best way to understand CANDY is to use it. Follow the project on official channels, try the products as they launch, and read guides here on CandyPulse.

You can also earn PULSE, CandyPulse's free reward points, just by reading articles, playing Candy Match and checking in daily. 100 PULSE converts to 1 CANDY once you link a wallet, a free, low-pressure way to get started.

Frequently asked questions

Is $10 really enough to start?
Yes. The presale's minimum purchase is $10, so you can learn the whole process without committing a large amount.

Do I need to be good with technology?
No. If you can install an app and follow the steps above, you can do it. Take your time, and start small.

What if I lose my seed phrase?
Your seed phrase is the only way to recover your wallet. If you lose it and your device, your funds may be gone for good, which is why writing it down and storing it safely matters so much.

Can I earn CANDY without buying?
Yes, in small amounts. Earn PULSE on CandyPulse by reading, playing and checking in, then convert 100 PULSE into 1 CANDY once you link your wallet.

The bottom line

You don't need to be rich, or an expert, to explore crypto. With a $10 minimum, CANDY's presale lets beginners start small, learn the ropes and discover an ecosystem built around real products.

Start small, stay safe, keep learning. Your first $10 could be the beginning of a much bigger understanding.
