Buy ETH from PDAX to Transfer to MetaMask and Buy Axies in Axie Infinity
Youâve probably heard of Axie Infinity, the hit NFT game where Filipinos can earn money simply by playing it every day. There are many ways to earn from Axie Infinity. The most popular of which is to become a scholar. That means someone else (called the âmanagerâ) will buy the Axies for the player (called âscholarsâ) to use and play, while both the manager and scholar get a share in the cryptocurrency (called âSLPâ) earned in the game.
For more information, check out our Axie Infinity Scholarship Guide.

But what if you donât want to become a scholar? What if you want to be a manager? Or simply, what if you just want to play while owning the Axies? This will involve buying the Axies for yourself.
Axies can be bought in the Axie Infinity Marketplace. Some Axies are more expensive than others, but whatâs the same for all of them is this: buying Axies requires ETH or Ether, the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain. (Specifically, you need WETH or âWrapped Ether, but for the purpose of this article, letâs call it ETH since WETH and ETH are essentially 1:1.)
So how can we get ETH?
Why Buy Axies Using PDAX?
In this article, weâll focus on buying ETH using PDAX, the licensed cryptocurrency exchange company from the Philippines. But first, why use PDAX? TLDR: Itâs not because we want to support Filipino companies, but rather because:
PDAX supports buying ETH using Pesos
Weâre used to buying ETH using USDT, and there are times when the USD/USDT and PHP rate varies through the day.
PDAX supports local cash-ins
Buy ETH through GCash? Check. Through UnionBank? Check. Through InstaPay and PESONet? Check as well. There is no need to look for someone to exchange their ETH or USDT for you. Just cash-in through GCash to your PDAX account.
PDAX also has a mobile app so you can do the trading from your phone. Though of course, in this article, we want to use the desktop version because most of the other tools we will utilize are desktop-only.
How to Buy Axies Using PDAX?
1) Create your PDAX account if you dont have one yet. Make sure you are a verified user.
2) Send funds to your PDAX wallet.
- Log in to your account
- Click âFundsâ
- Click âPayment Inâ
- Click âPHPâ
- Click âCash Inâ
- Choose the payment channel: either 1) online 2) e-wallet or 3) OTC
- Enter how much you would like to cash in and other relevant information, then click âProceedâ
- Check your email/mobile for the payment instructions

3) Buy ETH on PDAX!
- On the PDAX website, click âTradeâ
- Go to ETH/PHP, choose limit order, market order, or fill and kill
- Limit Order – Buy at specific price
- Market Order – Buy at whatever is the current price
- Fill and Kill (FAK) – place a limit buy order and any unfilled amount or portion will be cancelled after the order has been executed.
- Review then âPlace Buy Orderâ
- Youâll receive an email when the order is successful.
4) Transfer your ETH to MetaMask!
First, you must have a MetaMask wallet already. Now, letâs go back to PDAX!

- On âFunds,â go to âPayment Outâ
- Choose âETHâ
- Click âTransfer Out to Walletâ then enter the amount
- Go back to MetaMask and copy your ETH wallet there.
- Return to PDAX, paste your wallet address (the MetaMask address)
- Click âPayment Outâ
- You will receive an email once the transaction is successfully completed.

NOTE: BE very careful when transferring cryptocurrencies. If you pasted the wrong address, no one, not even PDAX can help you. Crypto transactions are irreversible.
While you wait for the transaction to go through, check out the following articles:
5) Now that your ETH is on your MetaMask, itâs time to Buy Axies!
How to Transfer ETH from MetaMask to Ronin

Ronin is the Ethereum sidechain of Axie Infinity. So instead of all Axie transactions happening on Ethereum blockchain, itâs only on the sidechain. This means the only time youâll need to spend on gas fees is when youâre transferring in or out of the sidechain.
1) Go the marketplace.axieinfinity.com and log in to your Ronin account.
2) On the dashboard, select âBridgeâ or go here: https://bridge.roninchain.com/
3) Select âDepositâ to transfer your ETH to Ronin.
4) Input your Ronin Address on the space provided (Go to Axie Dashboard and copy your Ronin Address.)
4) Follow the instructions to confirm the transactions.
(There’s also a video that you can click within the Bridge page that you can follow through.)
Note: Make sure you input the correct Ronin address. Again, crypto transactions are irreversible.
At this point, you should already have your ETH on your Ronin! Itâs time to Buy Axies. Check out the following articles about Axie Infinity on BitPinas:
