# Getting started with Defi Kingdoms > A DeFi game built on the blockchain, designed with useable NFTs — defikingdom.com ## About ![](https://i.imgur.com/6TGF0e7.jpg) Defi Kingdoms (DFK) is probably the most enjoyable way to get started with defi right now. In just a few months, it's risen to become the [#2 crypto game by TVL](https://dappradar.com/rankings/category/games) behind Axie Infinity. At its core is a standard Uniswap V2 decentralized exchange (DEX) on the [Harmony One](https://www.harmony.one/) chain (another L1). The twist is that they gameify the traditional defi actions into fun little RPG experience complete with pixel art. - Swapping tokens is now trading at the "marketplace". - Providing liquidity to pools and farming is "planting seeds at the garden" that you can harvest in the future. - You can stake the project's token, $JEWEL, at the "bank" to get $xJEWEL, a yield-bearing asset à la xSUSHI. But the most exciting part are heros, which are NFT characters with actual utility in the game. ![](https://i.imgur.com/HmMMklW.jpg) You can summon (mint) or trade heros, and they come with different stats, classes, and professions. You can then take heros to earn in-game items (to use or sell) by completeing various quests. The game is still early in the development roadmap, so the quest options at the moment are a bit limited. ## Getting started I use Coinbase as my main CEX. Unfortunately, Coinbase doesn't support buy $ONE (the native token for Harmony), so I had to use a different CEX. I had a smooth experience with crypto.com (also known as CDC), here are the steps I followed. - Downloaded the [mobile app on iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1262148500), did KYC with my driver's license. I was verified in < 1 hour. - Bought 1,000 ONE (~$200 USD) and withdrew it to my MetaMask address. - Make sure you use your Harmony "one..."" address instead of the "0x..." address when you withdraw. You can convert between the two quickly by going to your account on the [explorer](https://explorer.harmony.one/) and click on "Harmony" for the address style. - ![](https://i.imgur.com/QAt3Kcy.png) - Start playing at game.defikingdoms.com! First thing to do is probably swap some ONE to JWL to check out the different functionalities. ## Links - https://medium.com/@Samichpunch/beginners-guide-to-defi-kingdoms-how-to-start-playing-defi-kingdoms-88e9041467d2 - The best beginner's guide.
