How to buy IoTeX (IOTX)

How to buy and use IoTeX (IOTX) on its native network

IoTeX is a blockchain platform for Real-World AI. It connects physical world data to AI systems and decentralized applications. The network uses the IOTX token for transactions, staking, and governance.

Verified routes to get IOTX

You can get IOTX through several centralized exchanges and decentralized platforms.

Centralized exchanges with verified market pairs include Binance, MEXC, Gate, KuCoin, Coinbase Exchange, and WEEX.

Decentralized options include Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and Sushiswap.

What the native network does

The IoTeX L1 is a secure blockchain that is EVM-compatible. It uses a Roll-DPoS consensus mechanism to settle transactions and distribute incentives. The tech stack includes ioID, which is a decentralized identity system for authenticating devices and AI agents. It also uses Quicksilver to verify and deliver structured physical-world data to AI models.

On June 7, 2026, the network launched the Yap Hard Fork (v2.4.1). This upgrade provided full Ethereum Pectra compatibility on the IoTeX L1. It also incorporated EIP-7702 and new calldata standards via EIP-7623.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

IOTX exists on its own native network and as a token on other platforms. You must check which network your exchange or wallet supports before a transfer.

Verified contract addresses include:

• Ethereum: 0x6fb3e0a217407efff7ca062d46c26e5d60a14d69
• BNB Smart Chain (BEP20): 0x9678e42cebeb63f23197d726b29b1cb20d0064e5
• Polygon: 0xf6372cdb9c1d3674e83842e3800f2a62ac9f3c66
• Base: 0xbcbaf311cec8a4eac0430193a528d9ff27ae38c1

You can use the IoTeX explorer to verify addresses and transactions. Network fees on the native chain are paid using IOTX.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Sending tokens to the wrong network can result in permanent loss. Always verify the withdrawal network on your exchange. Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for the routes listed above unless the exchange explicitly confirms it.

Users should verify the exact contract address through the official website or documentation before transferring funds.

There is also a risk regarding utility. Some DePIN tokens rely on hype. Our research indicates that tokens in this ecosystem need to demonstrate real device usage and revenue to maintain value.
