How to buy Aion (AION)

How to buy and use Aion (AION) on its native network

Aion (AION) is the native token used to secure and access The Open Application Network (OAN). Launched in 2018 in Canada, OAN is a public network managed by The Open Foundation, a registered not-for-profit organization. The network is designed to provide an environment for creating Open Apps and facilitating interoperability between different blockchains.

By using AION as the core of the network, OAN allows users to execute smart contracts, store data, and share that information across different networks. AION is a mineable cryptocurrency, meaning users can generate tokens through the mining process.

What the native network does

The Open Application Network focuses on blockchain interoperability. This means it aims to let developers create applications that can communicate and work across different blockchain ecosystems rather than being locked into one.

The AION token is used to power this ecosystem. It is used for securing the network and paying for the execution of smart contracts and data storage. For those interested in the technical implementation, the project provides public source code on GitHub.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

AION is not listed in our database as a token on another platform, but it is available on the native OAN network. When moving AION, you must verify that your wallet and the exchange you are using support the native Aion network.

To verify transactions, addresses, or network activity, you can use the official Aion explorer. If you are unsure about a transfer, always send a small test amount first. You can find deeper technical details and network specifications in the official documentation.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving assets from an exchange to a private wallet is a common way to manage risk, but it requires caution.

One common mistake is assuming that every exchange listing AION supports deposits and withdrawals on the same network. If you send AION to an address that does not support the native OAN network, your funds may be lost.

Additionally, be aware that KYC requirements, account features, and exchange availability vary by country. We have not verified the specific withdrawal or deposit support for the routes listed above. You should confirm these details directly on the platform before committing funds.

Sources and methodology

Our research for this guide relies on a combination of verified data and background context. The buying routes are pulled exclusively from verified market-pair rows in our internal database.

We use web research and CoinMarketCap news for general project context and risk identification. Information extracted from CoinMarketCap pages is treated as low-confidence background context and is not used as proof of liquidity, fees, or contract safety.

Live market values, such as price and 24h volume, are omitted from this guide because they change too frequently to remain accurate.
