How to Buy Orchid (OXT)

You may want to consider Orchid, a cryptocurrency-powered VPN service built for users wishing to take back control of their digital data. 

Thanks to an encrypted peer-to-peer connection and a decentralized network of servers, on Orchid, your privacy and data is hidden from third parties looking to capitalize on your data.

Built on top of Ethereum, the Orchid mobile application facilitates the purchase and sale of bandwidth between users and providers using OXT, its native cryptocurrency.

Not sure yet why you’d want to buy OXT? Feel free to read our ‘What is Orchid?’ guide. It offers a more extensive breakdown of its technology and vision. 
 

While OXT is primarily used to purchase bandwidth, that’s not the only reason you might be interested in this innovative crypto asset.

There are a number of ways to buy OXT. 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 OXT, 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.

按照以下步骤，开始在Kraken上购买OXT: 

1. 注册一个Kraken账户
   首先，输入一个有效的电子邮件地址，创建一个新的用户名并设置一个安全系数高的密码以保护您的账户。

2. 认证您的账户。 
   提供您的姓名、出生日期、居住国家和电话号码后，您便可以用加密货币购买OXT， 例如ETH和DASH。为了可使用法定货币(即美元或欧元), 您需要向我们的专家提供额外的证明文件，以便我们核实您的身份。请在此阅读我们的认证程序。

3. 存放法定货币。
   您可以通过多种方式为您的帐户注资。这完全取决于您的所在地和偏好。

4. 购买 OXT!
   一旦您的账户有了法定货币资金，你就可以购买OXT了。此时，您还可以使用我们先进的图表工具、24 小时全球客户支持以及使用受到全球数百万交易者喜爱的Kraken保证金交易功能。

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

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

Orchid is a platform built on top of Ethereum, meaning OXT can be stored in an Ethereum wallet, of which there are many. Mobile and web wallets can make transactions easy, while hardware wallets are perhaps best suited for secure, long-term storage. 

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