Oasis Onboarding Guide: How To Get ROSE On Sapphire

To use Oasis dApps, it’s necessary to have some ROSE on Sapphire, the ecosystem’s primary network. For anyone new to the Oasis ecosystem, this guide explains how to do this, breaking things down into simple, easy-to-follow steps. 

Whether you already have ROSE on a centralized exchange (CEX) or another blockchain or need to start from scratch, you'll find everything you need to get ROSE on Sapphire below.

Requirements 

Before starting, ensure you have a wallet like MetaMask, Phantom, or Rabby installed on your device and add the Oasis Sapphire Network.

Here is a simple guide on how to do this using MetaMask as an example.

I have ROSE on a centralized exchange 

The easiest way to move funds from a CEX onto Sapphire is via the ROSE App. ‍

Step 2. Click Connect Wallet (MetaMask, etc)

Step 3. Click select and sign in

Step 4. Copy your EVM address

Step 5. Go to your CEX account, locate your ROSE balance, and click send crypto ‍

Step 6. Input the address copied in step four as the destination

Step 7. Navigate remaining confirmations in the CEX interface and send ROSE

Congratulations, you now have ROSE on Sapphire! Through the ROSE App, you can stake and explore ecosystem apps or withdraw funds to an exchange. Below is a video walk through of this process.
