Ways to Buy SHELL
Last updated
There are three ways to purchase SHELL tokens. The choice depends on your payment method and whether you prefer a graphical application or direct smart-contract interaction.
For: advanced users and operators who already have eccUSDC (ECC[3]) and want to submit the exchange transaction with tvm-cli.
Interface: the Accumulator smart contract on Mainnet/Shellnet.
How it works:
Prepare a wallet transaction containing a whole-number amount of eccUSDC
Send the transaction to the Accumulator contract with the required VMSHELL value
The contract exchanges eccUSDC at the fixed rate of 1 eccUSDC = 100 SHELL
SHELL is credited to the sending contract or to a recipient encoded in the payload
Detailed guide: Exchange eccUSDC for SHELL via the Accumulator
For: users who want to buy SHELL using fiat currency (credit/debit card) or cryptocurrency (USDT, USDC).
Application: Shell Buyer App — a web application accessible through any browser. A mobile version is planned for the future.
How it works:
Open the Buy Shell App
Connect your Acki Nacki Wallet
Choose a payment method (card or cryptocurrency)
Enter the amount
Payment is processed through the payment provider
SHELL is credited to your wallet
Detailed guide: Buy via Shell Bayer App
For: users who already have eccUSDC in their balance on the Acki Nacki wallet.
Application: Acki Nacki Wallet (mobile app).
How it works:
Open the Buy/Sell SHELL section in the wallet
Enter the eccUSDC amount
Confirm the transaction
SHELL is instantly credited to your balance
Detailed guide: Buy via Acki Nacki Wallet
Already have eccUSDC and prefer a graphical interface? Use the Acki Nacki Wallet — it's instant and has no additional fees.
Need to exchange eccUSDC programmatically? Send the exchange transaction directly to the Accumulator contract.
Have a bank card or crypto on another blockchain? Use the Shell Buyer App — it lets you buy SHELL without needing to acquire eccUSDC first.
