# Acquiring xDAI tokens

In order to interact with our platform, you will need to have xDAI to pay for gas. Fortunately, gas is cheap on xDai, so a dollar in xDAI or even a few cents should go a long way. There are a few options:

1. You can bridge DAI to xDai at [this](https://bridge.xdaichain.com/) link. You will need to have DAI first. You can also read more in the docs [here](https://www.xdaichain.com/for-users/bridges/converting-xdai-via-bridge/moving-dai-to-xdai).
2. You can [buy xDAI with fiat](https://www.xdaichain.com/for-users/get-xdai-tokens/buying-xdai-with-fiat/ramp-network) via [Ramp](http://buy.ramp.network/).
3. You can buy from a centralized exchange, [AscendEx](https://ascendex.com/) (formerly Bitmax).
4. You can receive 0.01 xDAI free from the [Blockscout faucet](https://blockscout.com/poa/xdai/faucet) daily.
5. Ask the Perpetual Protocol team for xDAI in their [Discord server](http://discord.perp.fi/).
