TL;DR: You can buy XEQM by trading for it on the nonkyc.io exchange, where it is listed as the XEQM/USDT market. Fund your exchange account with USDT, place a buy order for XEQM, then withdraw to a self-custody XEQM wallet so you control your own keys.
Before you buy
A few things are worth knowing first.
XEQM is a Proof-of-Stake privacy coin and the access asset for the XEQMLabs platform. If you are new to it, start with What is XEQM?. On the economics side, it has a ~276M fixed, verifiable supply with predictable emissions, which is covered in XEQM tokenomics. And the usual caveat applies: this is not financial advice, so only buy what you can afford to hold and do your own research.
Step-by-step: buying XEQM
1. Create and fund an exchange account
Go to nonkyc.io and create an account. Deposit USDT (or another supported asset you can swap to USDT on the exchange) to fund your balance.
2. Open the XEQM/USDT market
Navigate to the XEQM/USDT trading pair. This is the market where XEQM is bought and sold against the USDT stablecoin.
3. Place your buy order
A market order buys immediately at the best available price. A limit order lets you set the exact price you are willing to pay, and it fills only when the market reaches it. Enter the amount of XEQM you want and confirm the order.
4. Withdraw to self-custody
Once your order fills, withdraw your XEQM from the exchange to a wallet you control. As a privacy coin, XEQM is most valuable when you hold your own keys, because self-custody means no third party can freeze or seize your funds. You can find the official wallet via the XEQMLabs GitHub.
Back up your seed phrase. With self-custody, your recovery phrase is your funds. Store it offline and never share it.
Staking XEQM to build
If you are a developer rather than an investor, XEQM has a second use. Staking it unlocks the XEQMLabs developer platform. The stake is refundable, so it is a commitment rather than a fee, and tiers start at 1,000 XEQM for the Builder tier.
Watch the network live
Once you hold XEQM, you can watch the network’s real-time state, including block height, supply, and active nodes, on the XEQM block explorer.
