• Coinbase Exchange

Step-by-step buying checklist

If you are new to this process, follow these steps to reduce the risk of errors.

1. Verify the contract address. The official address for KAITO on Base is 0x98d0baa52b2D063E780DE12F615f963Fe8537553. Always cross-reference this on Basescan or the official KAITO website.
2. Choose your platform. Decide if you want the simplicity of a CEX or the self-custody of a DEX.
3. Complete KYC if required. Some platforms, like BitMart and MEXC, require identity verification.
4. Fund your account. Deposit the required trading pair, such as USDT or ETH, depending on the exchange.
5. Execute the trade. Swap your funds for KAITO.
6. Secure your tokens. If you are holding for the long term, consider moving your tokens to a hardware wallet like a Ledger to remove exchange risk.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

Trading costs vary by platform. For example, MEXC lists a 0% maker fee for the KAITO/USDT pair, while BitMart has a trading fee of 0.25%.

Liquidity is generally available across the major CEX routes listed above, but it is always a good idea to check the order book for large trades to avoid significant slippage.

Regarding the movement of funds, deposit and withdrawal support for KAITO has not been verified for all listed routes. You should check the specific exchange's current status before depositing funds.

Before buying: route and token risks

There are a few specific risks to keep in mind for KAITO.

First, be aware of token unlocks. Reports from BitcoinWorld indicate that KAITO has had scheduled token releases, which can increase the circulating supply.

Second, pay attention to product changes. Coinbase previously announced a suspension of trading for certain perpetual futures contracts, including KAITO, on May 21. This is a reminder that futures and spot trading are different, and a halt in one does not always mean a halt in the other.

Finally, the biggest risk for beginners is using a lookalike contract address. Only use the verified Base address to avoid buying fake tokens.
