# How to buy SPORES with your TFT

Follow these three steps to get your wallet ready and buy SPORES.

### Step 1: Make sure your TFT are on TFChain

Your TFT need to be on **TFChain** before you can use them to buy SPORES.

If your TFT are on **Stellar** , open the **Bridge** in your wallet app:

1. Select **Stellar** as the source and **TFChain** as the destination.
2. Enter your receiving TFChain wallet address in the **To** field.
3. Enter the amount you want to bridge.
4. Check the details and transfer fee, then click **Submit**.

**Seeing “Address must have a twin ID”?**

A **twin ID** is your blockchain identity on the ThreeFold Grid. Some older wallets may not have one yet.

To add a twin ID to your wallet:

1. Open your wallet in the app and tap **Info** in the bottom-right corner.
2. Under **Secrets** , copy your **TFChain** secret.
3. Go to [dashboard.grid.tf](https://dashboard.grid.tf) and log in using that secret.

Logging in will automatically create a twin ID for your wallet. You can then return to the app and try the bridge transfer again.

### Step 2: Log in to the migration portal

Once your TFT are in your TFChain wallet:

1. Go to [migrate.projectmycelium.com](https://migrate.projectmycelium.com/).
2. Click **Login**.
3. Enter your **TFChain mnemonic (secret phrase)** for the wallet holding your TFT.

After logging in, you will see the TFT balance associated with that wallet.

**Keep your secret phrase private.** It gives access to your wallet. Check the website address carefully before entering it, and never share it in messages or screenshots.

### Step 3: Buy SPORES

Click **Buy SPORE** and follow the on-screen instructions to complete your purchase. Review the purchase details before confirming.

The deadline to buy SPORES at a discount rate (1 TFT = 10 SPORE) is being extended until the end of the year to make sure we are ready for the Marketplace launch and to give people enough time to convert at this rate.

Thanks! I did check my wallet in my threefold connect app and saw the TFT’s were on Stellar and not TFchain. Now I changed that, so my TFT’s are now in my connectapp in the TF chain.

Though what I found strange, I did already have my TFT’ s visible in my migration portal and changed them already to Spores. I don’t quit understand why, but I think now my migrationportal is uptodate and ready for migration, because I do see my farm, my node and my TFT and Spore balance in migtation portal. Sounds this ok?

Hey @remko! Yes, that sounds correct. If your **farm, node, TFT, and SPORE balances are all visible in the Migration Portal** , then it looks like everything is properly synced and you should be ready to proceed with the migration if you haven’t done it yet.
