# Get FTM Mainnet Coins

{% hint style="danger" %}

## You NEED to have FTM mainnet coins already for TX fees. If you DO NOT have FTM mainnet coins then I recommend you to bridge FTM ERC-20 to FTM Mainnet coin following the bridge guide.

{% endhint %}

## Requirements:

* Have ETH in your MetaMask wallet
* Have USDC in your MetaMask wallet
* Be on ETHEREUM mainnet on your MetaMask wallet
* Already have FTM mainnet coins 

## Don't have USDC in your MetaMask wallet? Here's how to get USDC by swapping ETH for USDC on SushiSwap

![ENTER AN AMOUNT](/files/-M_6tR8YQrUw2XusMSoC)

![Search for "USDC" then select](/files/-M_7HQH9fdsqHgDisgK5)

![Once you're happy with the amount select "Swap"](/files/-M_7IXHsh4VX3YK9DiEx)

![Select "Confirm Swap" and then a new box will appear with gas fee's. No avoiding that select "Confirm"](/files/-M_7KGTThaBKsrHcGQ5n)

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: You can edit "GAS FEE" if you want your transaction to be complete faster. Not necessary.
{% endhint %}

## Add "USDC" into MetaMask using "Add Token" if it doesn't automatically do so

![SELECT "USD Coin" THEN SELECT "NEXT" AND THEN "ADD TOKEN"](/files/-M_7LQgAoEGwetWpuuq9)

![](/files/-M_7LiWcwJsxvF9zWSEN)

## Now we will swap "USDC" ERC-20 into "USDC" FTM mainnet by using a cross-chain bridge
