Where to buy Tomb
It looks like TOMB may not be available to purchase on an exchange in the US.
You can still purchase TOMB by using a decentralized exchange (DEX) instead. Decentralized exchanges are web applications that run on blockchains like Fantom and allow users to trade any asset directly with one another.
Decentralized exchanges (DEX) are unregulated and run using autonomous pieces of code known as smart contracts. To use a DEX you must interact with the blockchain directly, which is not recommended for novice users. Please learn about decentralized exchanges first if you're unfamiliar.
How to purchase TOMB using a decentralized exchange.
- Find TOMB on a decentralized exchange and make sure Tomb can be traded for FTM which is the native asset of Fantom. The most popular DEX on Fantom is Spookyswap.
- Buy FTM to trade for TOMB using an exchange like Gemini. You will need to purchase enough FTM to swap for TOMB as well as FTM to pay for transaction fees on the Fantom network (known as gas). Gas fees on Fantom cost a fraction of a cent.
- Transfer the FTM into a web 3.0 wallet like MetaMask to connect to the DEX.
- Trade FTM for TOMB on the DEX of your choice, following the instructions on screen. Make sure to leave enough FTM in your wallet to pay for gas.
- Wait for the transaction to finalize and the TOMB tokens will arrive in your wallet.
- You may now keep the tokens in your web 3.0 wallet or transfer them somewhere more secure like a hardware wallet.

Best Tomb wallets to store your TOMB
You can keep your TOMB on the exchange you purchased it on, or move it to a personal wallet:
- Some people like to use their own wallets to guarantee total ownership over their assets, or to use them with other applications like DeFi services.
- 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 TOMB below.

Is Tomb a good investment?
Cryptocurrencies are both complicated and speculative. Buying any crypto coin or token comes with a high level of risk. It’s essential that you’re fully aware of all the risks involved before you decide to buy. If you’re thinking of purchasing TOMB, make sure you consider the following factors:
- Linked to the price of FTM: Being arithmetically pegged to FTM means that any changes that occur to the price of FTM affect the price of TOMB. As a result, a potential investor of TOMB should become comfortable with the associated Fantom blockchain ecosystem and how well the blockchain can compete against other layer-1s. If a user is not planning to stake TOMB through the Tomb Finance protocol, investing directly in FTM could be an alternative option.
- Reliance on the peg: With no collateral supporting the FTM:TOMB peg, algorithms are deployed by Tomb Finance to keep the price stable. Losing the peg to FTM, which has happened to the protocol at least once before, could reduce confidence that the token will mirror the price of FTM during volatile times. If there is a lack of confidence in the protocol's capabilities, adoption of the TOMB token may fall.
- TVL on Fantom Opera network: TOMB was designed to become a secondary medium of exchange within the Fantom network. If the total value locked (TVL) decreases within the Fantom network, TOMB may not be necessary for transactions. If there is less FTM being held in smart contracts or by dApps, there will be less need for TOMB.
- FTM emissions: As FTM is released into the network via emissions from staking, which therefore increase circulation supply, TOMB may have less of a use-case. FTM tokens will need to be purchased or locked into smart contracts for TOMB to become required once more.
- Fantom politics: TOMB has seen significant drama since September 2021, with successful entrepreneur Harry Yeh taking over the reins at Tomb Finance after an exploit nearly drove the price of TOMB to zero. The year 2022 saw the controversial launch of copycat projects 2OMB and 3OMB, which were first lambasted by Yeh and eventually embraced. The recent sudden exit by Fantom co-founder Andre Cronje from all his DeFi projects has resulted in a spectacular collapse in the price of both Fantom and related projects like TOMB in March 2022, with the latter shedding nearly half its value. A potential investor should pay close attention to the unfolding politics within the Fantom ecosystem.
