How to get $PCC / $RAC
PCC is a plastic-backed digital asset and can be donated for rewards or used to offset plastic footprint. Every PCC stands for 1 ton of plastic waste collected, transported, recycled, and sold to the circular economy. The average cost to do that is 450€/ton, estimated by the European Commission. Furthermore, the Plastic Tax has been set at the same price. This allows RevivEX to anchor the PCC price to a stable market price reference.
RAC is a utility token linked to avoided COâ‚‚eq, allocated directly to recyclers as transparent incentives. RAC is 4:1 with the PCC. The price of each is 112,5€.

Summary
The best and easiest way to get PCC and RAC is to follow these three steps:
Create a wallet. We recommend MetaMask, but our app will supports most Web3 wallets
​Coinbase Wallet, Brave, MyEtherWallet, and many more).
Load your new wallet with MATIC tokens. MATIC is the gas that powers the Polygon network. Every transaction you execute on Polygon will require a few cents worth of MATIC to pay the network fee.
Swap for PCC on the RevivEX Decentralized Exchange, where you can trade some of your MATIC tokens for PCC tokens at the lowest possible price.
1. Create a Wallet
Open your browser and visit Metamask.io to download the Metamask Extension and set-up a wallet.
You can also download the Metamask app on iPhone and Android.
2. Load your wallet with MATIC tokens
Use a service like MoonPay or Transak or a centralized exchange like Coinbase to buy Polygon MATIC and send it to your newly created wallet.
Be sure that the MATIC tokens are sent to your new wallet address! You can copy the address to your clipboard by connecting to our app and clicking the address in the navigation menu.
Be sure to buy and send the MATIC through the Polygon network! Some exchanges like Coinbase will ask you which network to send the MATIC tokens on. Make sure to always choose Polygon.
3. Swap for PCC on RevivEX.io
3A. Connect Torus to Sushi.com using WalletConnect
Note: these instructions are for Torus wallet users only. Sushi supports a variety of different wallets.
In a new browser tab, go to the Torus Polygon webapp and log in with your new Torus account. When you log in, you should see a WalletConnect widget.
In a separate browser tab, visit RevivEX.io and click "Connect" at the top-right corner. You will be presented with a few wallet options. Choose WalletConnect. After you choose WalletConnect you will see a QR code—click "Copy to Clipboard".
Return to the Torus wallet app and paste this code into the WalletConnect widget. This will create a temporary connection between your wallet and RevivEX.io.
​
When you return to the Sushi tab in your browser, you should see that your Torus address is now visible in the top-right corner.
​
Finally, use the drop-down menu on RevivEX.io to switch to the Polygon network.
3B. Swap MATIC for PCC
After connecting your wallet and switching to the Polygon network, you should now be able to swap from MATIC to PCC.
Important note: don't swap all your MATIC for PCC! Save at least 0.5 MATIC to pay for future transaction fees.
Notice: every RevivEX transaction itself is climate positive; you should not enable or pay anything extra for it.
Stake, earn, vote, and offset!
Congrats! Now that you have some PCC in your wallet, we highly recommend staking that PCC for RAC, which accrues rewards over time as the protocol grows.
​
You can also use the app to spend PCC and retire digital plastic on the blockchain.
​
Finally, keep an eye out for ongoing votes and help guide the protocol in the right direction.
Why do I have to buy MATIC first?
The RAC and PCC token and protocol lives on the Polygon blockchain. MATIC is the “gas” that powers every transaction on Polygon. It is not possible to execute a transaction without paying the transaction fee. This means you will need to pay a few cents worth of MATIC for the following actions:
Sending tokens to another wallet
Staking PCC for RAC
Swapping between different tokens
Using PCC or other tokens to offset carbon
Can I buy PCC and RAC directly with a credit card?
Yes, some on-ramp providers like Transak allow you to buy tokens directly with a credit card, for a fee.
However, if your wallet doesn't have MATIC, you won't be able to transfer or perform other actions. For this reason, and to guarantee the best market rate, we recommend buying MATIC directly instead, and swapping your MATIC for RAC and PCC on Sushi.com.
Which centralized exchanges (CEXs) can I find $PCC on?
$PCC is currently traded on no other centralized exchange outside www.revivex/manage.io.
What if I want to use a different exchange, but they don't sell Polygon MATIC?
Advanced users can use the Polygon Bridge to move any asset from Ethereum to Polygon, and/or the Polygon Gas Swap to swap assets like USDC for MATIC.
