How to buy NIULAI on Solana

$NIULAI is bought on a decentralized exchange, by pasting its mint address rather than searching for its name. There is no presale, no claim and no listing on a centralized exchange, so a swap is the only route.

The mint address is:

9Z9wf8iSq8EpkF5fHzaKExHCvZ9BdSiVn1razYhRZuVh

That string is the whole safety mechanism in this article. Everything below is procedure.

How do I buy NIULAI on Solana?

Fund a Solana wallet with SOL, open a decentralized exchange with the $NIULAI mint address pasted into the output field, review the quote and the slippage, and swap. Then confirm the token you received has the same mint address you pasted. There is no other way to obtain the token, and nobody from this project will offer you one.

Why paste the address instead of searching the ticker?

Because anyone can create a token called NIULAI on Solana in a single command, and a ticker search cannot tell you which one you are looking at. Impostor tokens using this name are certain rather than hypothetical, and the search result that appears first is the one with the most trading activity, which a scammer can buy.

There is also a genuine, unrelated collision worth knowing about. A 牛来 token on BNB Chain is larger and better known than this one, and it has nothing to do with this project — no bridge, no wrapped version, no shared team, no relationship at all. If you are looking for that token, you are on the wrong site, and this article will not help you buy it. If you are looking for this one, it exists only on Solana and only at the mint above.

Compare the whole address, not the first few characters. Generating an address that shares a prefix with another one costs a few minutes of compute, and prefix-matching is exactly the check people perform when they are in a hurry.

The steps

  1. Get a Solana wallet. Phantom and Solflare are the common choices. Write the recovery phrase on paper and never type it into a web page. No legitimate site — including this one — will ever ask for it.
  2. Fund it with SOL. Buy SOL on an exchange you already use and withdraw it to your wallet address, or use the wallet's built-in on-ramp. Leave a little spare for fees.
  3. Open a DEX with the mint pre-filled. These two links carry the mint address in the URL, so there is no search box to get wrong:
  4. Check the quote before signing. Look at the price impact, not just the amount. On a thin pool a modest order moves the price against you, and the number to watch is what you would get back if you sold immediately.
  5. Read the transaction preview. A swap needs authority over the tokens you are swapping and nothing more. Reject anything asking for blanket approval over your other token accounts.
  6. Verify what you received. Open the new token in your wallet and confirm its mint address matches the one above, character for character. Do this the first time even though it feels redundant — it is the step that catches a wrong link.

What does it cost?

Solana transaction fees are a small fraction of a cent, but the first purchase also creates an associated token account to hold the new token, which requires a rent-exempt deposit of roughly 0.002 SOL. That deposit is recoverable if you ever close the account. Budget a little SOL beyond the amount you intend to swap, or the transaction fails for fees after you have already decided to buy.

The larger cost is slippage, not fees. Set the slippage tolerance as tight as the trade will tolerate rather than raising it until the swap goes through — a high tolerance on a thin pool is how a swap fills at a price nobody would have accepted deliberately.

How do I know I bought the right token?

The mint address on the token you received matches 9Z9wf8iSq8EpkF5fHzaKExHCvZ9BdSiVn1razYhRZuVh in full. That is the only check that settles it. The name, the symbol and the image can all be copied by anyone in a minute; the mint address cannot.

If you want to confirm the token before buying rather than after, open it on an explorer and check that the mint and freeze authorities are empty and the supply is 1,000,000,000:

Where What
The mint on Solscan Supply, decimals and both authorities
The pool on DexScreener Live price and, more usefully, live liquidity depth
