## By Swapping on a DEX (aggregator)

You can get PAR through DEX or DEX aggregators like [Paraswap](https://app.paraswap.io/#/MIMO-PAR/123?network=ethereum) or [1inch](https://app.1inch.io/#/1/swap/ETH/0x90b831fa3bebf58e9744a14d638e25b4ee06f9bc/import-token) which are interesting to find the best route to get the best exchange rate.
