:::tip ROSE App - The quickest way into the Oasis Ecosystem

The Oasis team built a **[ROSE App]** for you to easily **move ROSE**
from a crypto exchange to Sapphire and the other way around. This way you
can quickly and safely start using your tokens with Sapphire dApps without
diving into mechanics of the Oasis ParaTime deposits and withdrawals! You simply
need a working [Metamask/Ethereum compatible wallet](#metamask).

## Obtaining ROSE

The most common way to obtain ROSE is by buying it on a centralized
[cryptocurrency exchange]. At time of writing this chapter, **all exchanges
supported the consensus layer only**. This means that you can withdraw
tokens from the exchange only to **your consensus account**. Use the [ROSE
Wallet](#official-non-custodial-wallets) to **create one** and also to **deposit
ROSE to Sapphire**, if you want to use your tokens in a dApp afterwards.

An alternative way to obtain ROSE is by swapping another cryptocurrency for
ROSE on a **[decentralized exchange] (DEX) running on Sapphire**. In this case,
the payout is made to **your account on Sapphire** directly, and you can use a
standard [Ethereum-compatible wallet](#metamask) to manage it.

[crypto exchange]. **Most exchanges only operate on the Oasis consensus layer**.
This means that you can deposit and withdraw ROSE from an exchange only to
**your consensus account**. To address this, the Oasis team built a simple
**[ROSE App]** tool that quickly and safely **moves funds from the consensus
account derived from your [Ethereum-compatible wallet](#metamask) to Sapphire**
and the other way around.

Alternatively, you can use a fully-featured [ROSE
Wallet](#official-non-custodial-wallets) to **create a consensus account** and
then **deposit ROSE** from that account to your Sapphire one.

**[Decentralized exchanges] (DEX) running on Sapphire** are also gaining pace.
In this case, the payout is made from the DEX directly to **your account on
Sapphire**, and you can use a standard [Ethereum-compatible wallet](#metamask).
