# How to Acquire SURCHI: Presale and DEX Guide on Solana

> Step-by-step guide to acquiring SURCHI tokens through the public presale or on Solana decentralized exchanges like Jupiter and Raydium.

**SURCHI** is the native utility and governance token of the Neural Sentinel Protocol, with a fixed total supply of **19,897,905 tokens**. SURCHI is used for protocol governance, staking and revenue sharing, accessing premium Sentinel features, and participating in the broader ecosystem. The supply is permanently fixed — there is no minting mechanism, no inflation schedule, and no team allocation. Every token in existence is allocated to the community and protocol functions.

## Token Details

| Property            | Value                                |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Token Name**      | SURCHI                               |
| **Blockchain**      | Solana                               |
| **Total Supply**    | 19,897,905 (fixed, non-inflationary) |
| **Team Allocation** | Zero — no team tokens                |
| **Token Standard**  | SPL Token                            |

The zero team allocation model is a core commitment of the SURCHI protocol. There are no insider token reserves, no vesting cliffs to watch, and no team wallets that can dilute community holdings. See the full breakdown in [Tokenomics](/tokenomics/overview).

## Acquiring SURCHI

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set Up a Solana Wallet">
    To hold and use SURCHI, you need a Solana-compatible wallet. We recommend **Phantom** or **Solflare** — both are non-custodial, widely supported, and available as browser extensions and mobile apps.

    Follow the complete setup guide here: [Set Up a Solana Wallet](/getting-started/wallet-setup)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fund Your Wallet with SOL">
    You need **SOL** in your wallet for two purposes:

    1. **Transaction fees** — Solana transactions require a small amount of SOL to pay network fees (typically a fraction of a cent)
    2. **Swapping** — You can swap SOL or USDC for SURCHI on a decentralized exchange

    Acquire SOL from a centralized exchange (such as Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken) and withdraw it to your Solana wallet address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to a DEX">
    Navigate to a Solana decentralized exchange. The most widely used options are:

    * **[Jupiter](https://jup.ag)** — Solana's leading DEX aggregator, automatically routes through the best liquidity sources
    * **[Raydium](https://raydium.io)** — One of Solana's largest AMMs with deep liquidity pools

    Connect your wallet using the **Connect Wallet** button and approve the connection request in your wallet extension.

    Search for the **official SURCHI token contract address** — always verify this from the official SURCHI channels (website, official Telegram, or pinned X posts) before proceeding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Swap for SURCHI">
    Once you have located the verified SURCHI token on the DEX:

    1. Select your input token (SOL or USDC) and set SURCHI as the output token
    2. Enter the amount you wish to swap
    3. Review the quoted price, slippage tolerance, and estimated fees
    4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

    The SURCHI tokens will appear in your wallet once the transaction is confirmed on-chain — typically within a few seconds on Solana.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Always verify the **official SURCHI contract address** from official channels (surchi.io, official Telegram, or pinned posts on X) before purchasing. Never buy SURCHI based on contract addresses shared in DMs, unofficial Telegram groups, or unverified social media accounts. Scam tokens impersonating legitimate projects are common — one wrong address can result in permanent loss of funds.
</Warning>

## Presale

Early community members can participate in the **SURCHI public presale** to acquire tokens before they are listed on decentralized exchanges. The presale offers:

* **Priority access** to SURCHI tokens at the presale price, ahead of public DEX listing
* Early allocation secured directly through the official presale mechanism
* Full transparency — no separate tier for private or team investors

Presale participation details, including dates, allocation limits, and the contribution process, are announced through official channels. Monitor the [official SURCHI website](https://surchi.io), [Telegram](https://t.me/surchi), and [X](https://x.com/surchiprotocol) for presale announcements.
