Aavegotchi is a blockchain play-to-earn game that is built on the Ethereum scaling solution Polygon. I have created this detailed guide that will help Australians get their first Aavegotchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3 Things I Love Most About Aavegotchi<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

THE INTEREST:<\/strong> Aavegotchi is a fun way to earn interest from the decentralised lending platform Aave<\/a>, as every Aavegotchi requires a minimum amount of interest-bearing tokens before you can summon your virtual ghost. The interest-bearing tokens will automatically grow inside your Aavegotchi over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE FARMING:<\/strong> You can earn money from your Aavegotchi by competing in rarity farming in three different categories rarity, kinship and experience. Rarity can be increased by selecting the best traits for your Aavegotchi and dressing your Aavegotchi with wearables. Kinship is developed by petting your Aavegotchi once every 12 hours and experience is grown by voting on governance proposals and playing minigames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE COMMUNITY:<\/strong> Aavegotchi has a strong community of people that want the game to succeed. We have people from the community building tools and minigames, helping out newbies on Discord, and creating and voting on proposals that will govern the way the game will evolve through the Aavegotchi DAO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 Steps to Get Your First Aavegotchi<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In order to get your first Aavegotchi in Australia, we will need to complete the following steps which I will walk through in detail in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Create an Ethereum wallet using Metamask<\/li>
  2. Setup Metamask to use the Polygon network<\/li>
  3. Purchase ETH via the cryptocurrency exchange Coinjar and transfer ETH to your Metamask wallet<\/li>
  4. Use the Matic Bridge to move ETH from the Ethereum Mainnet to the Polygon network (formerly known as Matic)<\/li>
  5. Swap Ethereum for GHST on Quickswap<\/li>
  6. Buy a Portal from the Aavegotchi.com Baazaar<\/li>
  7. Summon your first Aavegotchi<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    At the end of this post, I will also cover how you can make money with your Aavegotchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Setup an Ethereum Wallet Using Metamask<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    In order to play Aavegotchi, you will need an Ethereum wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Metamask<\/a> is the most popular Ethereum wallet and it is supported in major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge and is also available as mobile apps on Android and iOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Be careful when installing Metamask to only install the Metamask app from https:\/\/metamask.io\/<\/a>, there have been cases of fraudulent applications impersonating Metamask and even appearing in search engine advertisements that can steal any funds you deposit into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Follow the Download link on https:\/\/metamask.io\/<\/a> to download the Metamask application for your preferred web browser or mobile operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I have embedded a great YouTube tutorial created by Every Bit Helps below that shows the process in detail for installing Metamask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
