# Wrap a token
Already hold the underlying token? Great! Wrapping it is a one-click job.
If you haven’t bought anything yet but know which Watt token you want, check the app’s **Suggested Action** helper first. It compares the live market price of the Watt token with the cost of wrapping the original token and highlights the better deal:
* Negative price difference → Buy: you’ll get more value by purchasing the Watt token directly in the **Buy** tab, *see example below*.
* Positive price difference → Wrap: it’s cheaper to acquire the underlying token and wrap it yourself.
Open the **Wrap** panel on the right, enter the amount of the original token you want to convert, and click **Wrap** to confirm the transaction. You’ll receive a slightly smaller quantity of Watt tokens because a small wrap fee is deducted up front, but that gap is typically recouped quickly as the [token ratio](/the-protocol/watt-assets/token-ratio.md) appreciates.
Done! Congratulations, your Watt tokens are now earning yield around the clock. Keep them safe, and watch the token ratio—therefore your position’s value—rise over time in the **Unwrap** panel.
