How to buy iExec RLC (RLC) safely

iExec RLC (RLC) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2017 that operates on the Ethereum platform. The project provides tools for building privacy-first applications with programmable governance and confidential processing. These tools use Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to keep data encrypted while it is being used.

Because RLC is an ERC-20 token, it can be stored in any wallet that supports the Ethereum network. Users should verify the specific network and contract address before making any deposits or transfers to avoid losing funds.

Where can you buy RLC?

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

Centralized exchanges with verified market pairs include:

• Binance
• Coinbase Exchange
• Kraken
• KuCoin
• Gate
• MEXC
• Bybit
• Bitget
• HTX
• WEEX
• Pionex
• BTCC
• Bithumb
• Upbit
• Bitvavo
• Changelly

Decentralized options include:

• Uniswap (Ethereum and Arbitrum networks)
• SushiSwap (Ethereum network)

Step-by-step buying checklist

To acquire RLC, follow these practical steps:

1. Select an exchange from the verified list above.
2. Create an account and complete any required identity verification (KYC).
3. Deposit funds. This is usually done using a stablecoin like USDT or a major asset like BTC or ETH.
4. Locate the RLC trading pair (such as RLC/USDT or RLC/USD).
5. Execute the trade.
6. Transfer the tokens to a private wallet for self-custody.

When moving tokens to a wallet, double-check that you are using the correct network. RLC exists on both Ethereum and Arbitrum. Sending tokens to the wrong network address can result in a permanent loss of assets.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

Trading fees vary by platform. MEXC and WEEX both list a trading fee of 0 for RLC. Changelly has a trading fee of 0.25%. Most other exchanges use a tiered fee structure based on your trading volume.

Liquidity data is available for the routes listed above and is used for internal scoring, but it is not static. You should check the order book on your chosen exchange to ensure there is enough depth for your trade size without causing significant price slippage.

Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for most listed routes. You must check the exchange's current deposit and withdrawal status for RLC before funding your account.

Before buying: route and token risks

The most significant risk when buying RLC is using a fake token contract. Always verify the contract address through the official iExec website or documentation.

The verified contract addresses are:

• Ethereum: 0x607f4c5bb672230e8672085532f7e901544a7375
• Arbitrum: 0xe649e6a1F2afc63ca268C2363691ceCAF75CF47C

Other risks include:

• Country availability: Some exchanges, such as MEXC and WEEX, ban users from specific regions including the US and UK.
• Network mismatch: Assuming an exchange supports the same network as your wallet.
• KYC requirements: Some platforms require full identity verification before you can withdraw funds.

The routes in this guide come from verified market-pair rows in our database. We use web research and news for background and risk context. Information from CoinMarketCap pages is treated as low-confidence context and is not used as proof of fees or contract safety.

Live market values, such as current price and 24h volume, are omitted because they change too frequently to remain accurate in a static guide.
