How to buy e-Gulden (EFL)

How to buy and use e-Gulden (EFL) on its native network

e-Gulden (EFL) is a cryptocurrency that users generate through mining. It was started by a group of students in the Netherlands to provide a local alternative to Bitcoin and the Euro. The project is managed by the Electronic Gulden Foundation, which focuses on community building within the Dutch region.

Verified routes to get EFL

The following route is verified for EFL:

• FreiExchange (EFL/BTC)

Deposit and withdrawal support for this route is not verified. Users should confirm the current status of deposits and withdrawals directly on the exchange before transferring funds.

What the native network does

The e-Gulden network uses a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism based on the Scrypt algorithm. To protect against 51% attacks, the network uses an extension called oeruschield.

This system uses identified mining. Under this rule, one in six blocks must be mined by a certified mining pool. These pools are typically Dutch companies registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

EFL is a standalone coin. It does not exist as a token on another platform. Users can verify addresses, transactions, and network status using the e-Gulden explorer.

Before any transfer, verify that the destination wallet or exchange supports the native EFL network. Sending coins to an unsupported network may result in a permanent loss of funds.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Withdrawal and deposit support for the listed exchange is not verified. You should check if an exchange allows withdrawals to a private wallet before you deposit any assets.

Account features and KYC requirements vary by country. Users often make the mistake of assuming that every exchange supports the same network for both deposits and withdrawals. Always check the specific network requirements of the platform you are using.
