# Getting SQD Tokens

Participating in SQD Network requires SQD tokens. This guide shows you all the ways to acquire them.

## Before You Start

    <Card title="Aerodrome Finance" icon="arrow-right" href="https://aerodrome.finance/swap?from=0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913&to=0xd4554bea546efa83c1e6b389ecac40ea999b3e78&chain0=8453&chain1=8453">
      Buy SQD on Base network
    </Card>

    <Warning>
      If you purchase on Base, you'll need to bridge your tokens to Arbitrum One to
      use them with SQD Network.
    </Warning>

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Bridge from Base to Arbitrum">
        <Steps>
          <Step title="Choose your bridge option">
            Select between fast bridges or native bridges based on your priorities:

            * **Fast bridges:** Quick transfers (minutes to hours)
            * **Native bridges:** Lower fees but longer wait times (up to 7 days)
          </Step>

          <Step title="Fast bridge option">
            Use [IceCreamSwap bridge](https://icecreamswap.com/bridge?chain=base) for quick transfers.

            <Check>
              Your tokens will arrive within minutes to a few hours.
            </Check>
          </Step>

          <Step title="Native bridge option (Lower fees)">
            For minimal fees, use the native bridges:

            1. Bridge from [Base → Ethereum](https://superbridge.app/base)
            2. Then bridge from [Ethereum → Arbitrum](https://bridge.arbitrum.io/?destinationChain=arbitrum-one\&sourceChain=ethereum\&token=0x1337420ded5adb9980cfc35f8f2b054ea86f8ab1)

            <Note>
              Native bridges require up to 7 days for transfers but offer the lowest fees.
