Welcome to INDX, a decentralized index fund platform that makes it easy to diversify your crypto portfolio. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start using INDX, even if you’re new to cryptocurrency.

Before we start

Section titled “Before we start”

Assuming you are new to crypto, you’ll need to get set up with a crypto wallet and ETH on Base network. Don’t worry, it’s not as daunting as it sounds.

The steps below will walk you through the process of getting set up on INDX and give you a good overview of the basics.

1. Prerequisite: A crypto wallet

Section titled “1. Prerequisite: A crypto wallet”

To hold your crypto, you’ll need a crypto wallet. Common wallets include Metamask and Coinbase Wallet.

We’ve partnered with Reown to provide a secure and easy-to-use onboarding experience. Using your email or preferred social media account you can spin up a wallet on INDX in just a few minutes.

Side note

Section titled “Side note”

Note, these wallets are considered “non-custodial” wallets, until you “claim” them. They are still yours and extremely safe. While there is no urgency to claim your wallet, it is recommended to do so.

To claim your wallet head over to Reown Dashboard (our wallet infrastructure partner). After this you can import your wallet to Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, or any other wallet that supports the Base network.

2. Prerequisite: ETH on Base network

Section titled “2. Prerequisite: ETH on Base network”

Next, you will need Ethereum token, this is the native token on Base network, and many other networks.

The easiest way to get ETH is to use our built in “wallet top up” feature. Under the hood we are using Reown’s onRamping feature.

Connect your wallet and follow the steps to top up your wallet.
