First Things First, Getting Some [BNB](https://www.binance.com/en/bnb)

^{the crypto that powers the Binance ecosystem} I am still awaiting KYC approval for the new Binance.US site after getting the boot from Binance.com, and I intended to jump into Cub DeFi with some fiat I'd use to purchase BNB. Well, I got tired of waiting, so I researched various ways I could get my hands on some BNB without the use of the Binance.us site. ![simsp.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/23tkjm1RtoSNNuciDgiEtZingt5PYDiWYxCzfC5K42pfacDRqN2XYkWPRuBe1kepWYNjf.png) It may not be the cheapest way to get my hands on BNB, but [**SimpleSwap.io**](https://simpleswap.io/) offers a direct crypto to BNB exchange with an option to receive the funds at a BSC address, so I sentused some to convert to BNB within a few minutes and with just a few clicks. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/23tm9AZQk4enSxq7iLMRG7ExBvi4VVesbun3wf8dSKZG5dbP2NodFHKnzHMyQ8SiNQJM2.png)

CONVERTING LEO to BLEO ON [BEP20 LEO](https://wleo.io/bsc)

^{he gateway between LEO and BSC} Moving liquid LEO over to Cub DeFi is super simple and done with just a few clicks via the [**BEP20 LEO**](https://wleo.io/bsc) site. Simply punch in your BSC address, have your liquid LEO ready, and verify it all with your private keys. ![bleo.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/23tw5t13p8UJFWki7R8MWFcZm56bk6i41pcRnHnKthgr1ssK2FN1EuXmYiwuGLTHKavip.png) For this experiment I converted nearly 1,200 LEO in bLEO. I now had both BNB and bLEO in my BSC wallet, so things were just about to get cooking. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/23tm9AZQk4enSxq7iLMRG7ExBvi4VVesbun3wf8dSKZG5dbP2NodFHKnzHMyQ8SiNQJM2.png)

[Cub DeFi](https://cubdefi.com/)

^{Cub Finance on the Binance Smart Chain} ![aasdfasdf.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/23wMwobGRpoDDmSzjwBMTpvM3973NkzF8ccVchAYVZu8u5NhxzAkwSpMAm9hGoowisjNQ.png) I have faith in the LEO token, and even though the BLEO-BNB pool isn't the top performer on [**Cub DeFi**](https://cubdefi.com/) at the moment, I am reluctant to let my LEO go, so I targeted this pool. I had much more LEO than BNB, so I made a quick exchange to bring the two balances closer together, making sure to leave some BNB for future gas fees. ![gtyh.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/23tHbg12Fxn2rpuMsVywRTohHmFco7LAnJi8EbTfVspm3n2tvtvEyqe4o7Tq1JzyRxQdg.png) In the end I provided **775.889 bLEO** and **0.575922420029555826 WBNB** as liquidity. This is simple and just takes a few clicks. You can easily to choose to max out one token to use your full balance. ![fgt.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/23tmmf7RbmcjA5iazYr4Lx46R1hyxjHtf2GwsvxeHkdFV5iS147VF2K7ooyobh4bhG7GW.png) After adding liquidity, I still wasn't done yet, I had to approve the contract and start farming, so I headed over to farms and few clicks later I was already earning CUB. ![Untitled.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/23tcNzkWdfV5MW9dxoB4hjPBJQQZoih3SAFGKpxzmLcwYD64KrviNeLEsUB3emTEqHMZu.png) All in all, I was in for about $400 USD on this first experiment. It was quite fun watching the numbers roll over in real time. I earned my first CUB, and within 24 hours I earned around 2.5 CUB, a value of around $2.25 USD, not bad at all for a $400 investment. I haven't harvested any CUB yet, but will probably do so every time I've accumulate at least 5 CUB, of which I intend to use in the CUB-BUSD pool. Hopefully by the time I get KYC approval and can easily buy BUSD with fiat, I'll also have enough CUB to make a significant investment. It's never too late to start something new, and I'm glad I waited until having a clearer understanding of how to use my MetaMask wallet and perform Binance transactions before deciding to play with the big bucks, well big for me at least. |![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/lmgiejBP-image.png)^**Dad**^{**@JustinParke**}|![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/KeKN855F-image.png)^**Mom**^**@SreyPov**|
