Elrond (EGLD) is a unique blockchain protocol that has one main goal in mind – speed. According to Elrond documentation, the blockchain network is capable of executing 15,000 transactions per second (tps), which is a significant increase from Bitcoin's 4.6 tps. This efficiency in smart-contract execution is intended to address the issue of scalability for decentralised applications built on top of the network. These speeds are achieved through a blockchain process called “sharding”. Sharding allows for the parallel processing of data using over 2,000 validator nodes. Elrond's network works on a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm and initially operated on the Ethereum blockchain. However, it now boasts its own independent mainnet. EGLD is the native token of the Elrond network and is used for the management and security of the blockchain. Though originally minted as an ERC-20 (Ethereum-based) token, the tokens have now transitioned to the Elrond Mainnet. Holders of the coin can participate in securing the network either as a validator or delegator.

To create an account on any cryptocurrency exchange you will need an email address. Some exchanges may also ask for a phone number and photo ID, so it's a good idea to have those ready.
An increasing number of cryptocurrency exchanges will ask to verify your identity before you can deposit funds and start trading MultiversX.
Once you've created an account, you will need to deposit funds to buy EGLD with. You can either deposit local currency from a bank account or credit card, or transfer cryptocurrency from another exchange or wallet. Here are some popular ways to buy EGLD:
The easiest way to buy EGLD is by placing an 'instant buy' order to purchase it for a fixed price but not all crypto exchanges offer this feature.
