Curious about how Keep Network works? Feel free to read our ‘What is Keep Network?’ guide, which offers a more extensive breakdown of its technology and vision. 

The KEEP cryptocurrency plays a key role in maintaining and operating the Keep Network network. 

For example, it derives its value from its ability to ensure the safekeeping of private data. 
 

There are a number of ways to buy KEEP. However, many find that it is easiest to purchase it through a trusted global exchange like Kraken. 

Aside from offering the lowest fees in the industry, Kraken is constantly rated one of the most secure and trusted crypto exchanges in the world. This matters because if you lose the private key to your KEEP, it can be challenging if not impossible to recover your funds. 

At Kraken, we take security seriously, with tested technology and rigorous procedures designed to safeguard funds. We don’t cut corners when it comes to security, and neither should you. 

Follow the steps below to start buying KEEP on Kraken: 

1. Sign up for a Kraken account.

In order to use cash (i.e. USD or EUR), you’ll need to provide our experts with additional supporting documents verifying your identity. Read about our verification processes here.

3. Deposit cash.
   You can fund your Kraken account in a number of ways. How you do so will depend upon your location and preferences.

4. Purchase KEEP!
   Once your account is funded with cash, you’re ready to purchase KEEP. At this point, you’ll also gain access to our advanced charting tools, 24-hour global client support and the ability to utilize margin trading, features that help make the Kraken experience beloved by millions of global traders.

Once you buy KEEP, you’ll need somewhere to safely store your cryptocurrency. 

Kraken is secure, but it’s always safest to store your KEEP in a wallet, a software or hardware device that stores the public and private keys required to make crypto transactions.

There are many types of KEEP wallets available. Mobile and web wallets can make transactions easy, while hardware and paper wallets are perhaps best suited for secure, long-term storage. 

When choosing a crypto wallet for your KEEP, first spend some time thinking about what you plan to do with your tokens to find a wallet that fits your needs.
