Time: ~30-40 minutes.

You will need to verify your identity so make sure you have your id or passport with you.

Why should you buy TAO?

I’m obviously biased, BUT:

• It is the only project bringing something really new to crypto since the last bull market (~4 years).
• It has a strong community of builders and developers.
• The token has a strong positive feedback loop. (read more here)

Of course, if you don’t even own bitcoin, do that first.

But then, it’s TAO time!

Buying TAO (~10 minutes)

You can buy TAO on Binance (KYC) or MEXC (no KYC).

If you don’t already have an account, you will need to create one. You can follow this guide for Binance, or that one for MEXC. Once this is done, deposit funds into your account.

You are now ready to buy TAO ✅

Find the trade or convert menu on your app, and exchange the currency you deposited against TAO. Once this is done, go to your assets page to verify that you own TAO.
