How to buy and use Reef (REEF) on its native network

What the native network does

The Reef network provides native EVM compatibility. This allows developers to use familiar tools like Remix to deploy smart contracts. The network also includes ERC-3643 support, which is a standard for compliance-ready infrastructure.

This setup is intended for projects tokenizing real estate or sports equity. It targets non-accredited retail investors by providing a way to access alternative assets. The network also supports bridges to other blockchains so liquidity can move into the Reef ecosystem.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

Users can interact with the blockchain using the Reef wallet. To verify addresses and transactions, the Reefscan explorer is the primary tool.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for the routes listed above unless the exchange explicitly states it. You should not assume that every exchange supports the same network for withdrawals.

Other risks include:

• Using the wrong network during a transfer is a common mistake.

Always check the withdrawal network on your exchange before sending REEF to a private wallet.
