How to buy Yei Finance (CLO)

How to buy Yei Finance (CLO) safely

Yei Finance (CLO) is a DeFi token used for governance and aligning the community with the growth of the Clovis protocol. It operates as a liquidity abstraction layer designed to reunify fragmented capital through a cross chain DEX, money market, and bridge.

To buy CLO safely, you must first verify the network. CLO is primarily on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), though contract data is also present for Sei v2. Using the wrong network during a transfer can lead to a permanent loss of funds.

Where can you buy CLO?

CLO is available on several centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX).

Centralized exchanges with verified market pairs include:

• MEXC
• BitMart
• WEEX
• Binance Alpha
• KuCoin
• CoinEx
• BingX
• XT.COM
• BYDFi
• Toobit
• KCEX
• MGBX
• BitKan
• TRIV
• Hibt
• Ourbit

For those preferring decentralized options, CLO can be swapped via:

• PancakeSwap (including v3 and Infinity CLAMM)
• Uniswap (v3 and v4 on BSC)

Step-by-step buying checklist

If you are new to DeFi tokens, follow these steps to reduce risk:

1. Verify the contract address. The verified address for CLO on BNB Smart Chain is 0x81D3A238b02827F62B9f390f947D36d4A5bf89D2. Always cross-check this on the official Yei Finance website or BSCScan.
2. Choose your route. Decide if you prefer a CEX for ease of use or a DEX for self-custody.
3. Check regional availability. If using a CEX like MEXC or BitMart, check if your country is supported. For example, MEXC does not support users from the US, Canada, or the UK.
4. Complete KYC. Most centralized routes require identity verification before you can trade.
5. Secure your tokens. If you move CLO off an exchange, use a hardware wallet like a Ledger to prevent theft.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

Trading costs vary by platform. MEXC and WEEX have source-backed trading fees of 0% for the CLO/USDT pair. BitMart lists a trading fee of 0.25%.

Liquidity is available across most listed routes, but it is not uniform. PancakeSwap generally shows higher liquidity for the USDT/CLO pair compared to smaller CEX options.

Withdrawal and deposit support is not verified for most of these routes. You should check the exchange's current deposit/withdrawal status for the BNB Smart Chain network before sending any funds.

Before buying: route and token risks

There are several risks to consider before acquiring CLO:

• Contract risk: Always use the verified contract address. Using a lookalike address will result in the loss of your funds.
• Network mismatch: Ensure you are using the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) or Sei v2 as specified. Sending tokens to an unsupported network is a common mistake.
• Custody risk: Tokens held on exchanges are subject to the exchange's security and solvency.
• Verification gaps: Deposit and withdrawal capabilities are not verified for all listed exchanges.

Sources and methodology

This guide is based on verified market-pair data from our internal database and the CoinMarketCap API. We use web research from official documentation and news sources for background context on the Yei Finance ecosystem. Information from CoinMarketCap page scrapes is treated as low-confidence background context. Live market values, such as price and 24h volume, are omitted because they change too frequently to remain accurate in a static guide.
