How to Purchase NEAR Protocol (NEAR) with Stellar (XLM)

To purchase NEAR Protocol using Stellar, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the NEAR/XLM trading pair, such as YouHodler or Wirex. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your XLM into your exchange wallet. Locate the NEAR/XLM pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Stellar for NEAR Protocol. If the NEAR/XLM pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Stellar 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.
