Prepare KCS to pay for gas fee 

KuSwap uses KCS  for the gas fee, therefore, to start using KuSwap, you need to have KCS in your wallet.

In addition to the network fee and the fee for LP, Coin98 Native Swap will charge a fee of 0.8% on the token swap for each transaction. This fee will be used for buying back C98 and supporting the continuous development of making Coin98 better in the future.

You can buy KCS on Kucoin, and withdraw to KCC Wallet to be able to experience the product.

Now everything’s ready, let’s start trading.
