How to Purchase NEAR Protocol (NEAR) with Chainlink (LINK)

To purchase NEAR Protocol using Chainlink, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the NEAR/LINK trading pair, such as YouHodler or Wirex. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your LINK into your exchange wallet. Locate the NEAR/LINK pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Chainlink for NEAR Protocol. If the NEAR/LINK pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Chainlink for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for NEAR Protocol. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction.
