# Buying

When you buy a Toros token, you deposit into a [vault](/resources/glossary.md#vault) and receive an ERC-20 token in your wallet. That token represents your share of the vault's strategy.

## How to Buy

1. Connect your wallet at [toros.finance](https://toros.finance) and switch to the token's network.
2. Open the token's page and select **Buy**.
3. Choose the asset to pay with and enter an amount.
4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet. You receive the vault token.

## Deposit Assets

Each vault accepts specific [deposit assets](/resources/glossary.md#deposit-asset). When buying, you can pay with a deposit asset or with another supported token on the network.

Buying with a deposit asset incurs zero slippage — you only pay the [trading fee](/trading/fees.md).

## Buying With Other Tokens

If you pay with a non-deposit asset, it is swapped into a deposit asset first and then deposited, all in a single transaction. That added swap is the only difference from a deposit-asset buy: it carries its own trading fee and [slippage](/leveraged-tokens/slippage.md).

Non-deposit buys source liquidity from across the chain using [DEX aggregators](/resources/glossary.md#dex-aggregator) such as 1inch, so larger trades can still execute at competitive prices.

### Slippage Settings

When slippage is set to auto, the trade is simulated at the lowest possible slippage, then increased gradually until it can go through. Once it can execute, the transaction is sent to your wallet for approval.

You can also choose which DEX aggregators are enabled in trade settings. By default all are enabled, and the best one for the trade is used.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.toros.finance/trading/buying.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
