Getting Algorand's native tokens

Before you begin using Pact, you're going to need the ALGO token, which is the native token of the Algorand blockchain. 
To get ALGO tokens, you'll first need to use a centralised exchange (CEX).
 Some popular CEX's where you can buy ALGO are:
Coinbase
KuCoin
Huobi
Binance
MXC
Follow the steps below to get access to ALGO on your chosen exchange.
1.First, you will need to add a payment method. Using your chosen Exchange's payment method, you can connect your bank account, debit card or initiate a wire transfer.
2.Navigate to the the exchange's list of assets you are able to buy. This process will be different depending on which exchange you are using.
3.Search for Algorand by typing "Algorand" into the search bar. When you see Algorand show up in the results, tap it to open up the purchase screen.
4.Enter the amount you want to buy. The app will automatically convert that into an amount of Algorand you will receive (minus transaction fees).
5.Review your purchase request, click 'Buy' when ready. Congratulations, you’ve bought Algorand.
6.To use Pact you'll need to have ALGOs in your chosen Algorand Wallet. Do this by withdrawing them from the exchange to your newly created Algorand wallet address. This process differs for every exchange, start by looking for the 'Withdraw' function, then look to the FAQs for more direction if required.
7.You will need to enter your Algorand wallet address to stipulate where to withdraw your ALGO to. Make sure this step is completed with absolute accuracy otherwise your tokens can be lost. 
8.Refer to the image below for the location of your unique wallet address (My Algo wallet example).
