Dharma is a mobile app for Android and iPhone that allows you to purchase KLIMA, BCT, and other tokens directly using the funds in your normal bank account. Dharma makes life easy because it already supports the Polygon network, where the KLIMA ecosystem lives. At the time of writing, most popular alternatives like Coinbase, Gemini and Metamask require extra steps which can be daunting for beginners, and result in costly Ethereum fees. This is why we often recommend Dharma for newcomers based in the USA.
Dharma is "non-custodial" Smart Wallet which means, after a brief holding period, you have full control over your crypto-assets. You can interact with the official Klima app, right from your phone, to stake your newly purchased KLIMA to start earning your rewards!
