How do I find the best places to buy Ardor?

Cryptocurrency exchanges offer similar services, but differ in a few key ways – mainly fees, the range of cryptos available and payment methods. You can use our table to compare the features of popular cryptocurrency exchanges available in Canada to help you choose the one that's right for you.

Some other factors you may want to consider are customer support, user reviews, ease of use and whether or not the exchange is registered with a local regulator. This information can be found by clicking on the exchange name in the table which will take you to its review page.

What will I need to buy Ardor?

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 Ardor.

  • This process is known as Know Your Customer (KYC) and usually requires photo ID and a webcam or smartphone. You may also need to prove your address by uploading a copy of a recent bank statement or utility bill.
  • Some exchanges allow you to deposit and trade cryptocurrencies without passing KYC, but they will not allow you to transfer local currency from your bank account. So if you are planning on purchasing ARDR with your local currency then you will need to pass KYC.
  • Once you have verified your identity, it is a good idea to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) before depositing any funds. This will increase the security of your account and help keep your funds safe.

What are the best ways to buy Ardor?

Once you've created an account, you will need to deposit funds to buy ARDR 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 ARDR:

  • Bank account: Transfers from local bank accounts are usually free, but you will need to double-check this with the exchange you choose – this information can be found in our table by clicking on 'view details'.
  • Credit or debit card: Linking a card to your account is another convenient way to top up your account, but be aware that it usually attracts an additional fee. An advantage, though, is that you can use a card to make instant purchases or set up a recurring purchase.
  • Cryptocurrency: You can usually purchase ARDR by trading it for another cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or a stablecoin. This varies between exchanges though, so you will need to search for ARDR on the spot market to see what cryptocurrencies it can be traded for.

What is the easiest way to buy Ardor?

The easiest way to buy ARDR is by placing an 'instant buy' order to purchase it for a fixed price but not all crypto exchanges offer this feature.

Alternatively, you can open a trade on the spot market which allows you to set your own price – this is the most common way to purchase cryptocurrency. Using the instant buy feature is straightforward but typically more expensive than using the spot market.

Before buying ARDR, you may want to check the market conditions. To help you decide if now is the right time to buy, you can take a look at our Analysis tools to get an idea of how the price of Ardor has been performing recently.

Best Ardor wallets to store your ARDR

You can keep your ARDR on the exchange you purchased it on, or move it to a personal wallet:

  • Hardware wallets are typically considered to be the safest type of cryptocurrency wallet, as they use a physical device to enhance security in a number of ways. You can take a look at some of our top hardware wallet picks for self-custody of your ARDR below.

Is Ardor a good investment?

Due to the volatile and risky nature of cryptocurrencies as an asset class, it is essential to do thorough research before investing. Here are the key aspects you should be aware of before adding ARDR to your investment portfolio:

  • Competition. Blockchain-as-a-solution is a popular business space, and as a result there’s a lot of competition for market share. Ardor has a lot of competition from both inside and outside the cryptocurrency space. Dragonchain is a key player in the industry and provides a very similar service to Ardor, albeit their mechanisms are completely unique.
  • Child chains. Ardor makes use of technology known as 'child blockchains' to offer BaaS to their customers. These are essentially blockchains based within the Ardor ecosystems that are separated from the main network. This lets businesses easily customise and adjust the chain to suit their needs, and allows for easy deletion once the service has become redundant.
  • Rewards. ARDR holders can stake their tokens on the Ardor network to earn additional rewards. Staking ARDR involves 'forging' your tokens to secure and verify transactions on the Ardor protocol. This may be complicated for newcomers to cryptocurrency and is only recommended for advanced users. Beginners may want to join a staking pool, where they lock their coins in someone else's node in exchange for a percentage of their rewards.
