What to consider when buying Aeternity

If you are wondering whether to buy Aeternity, make sure you understand the risks involved. Here are some points to take into consideration:

  • Competition. The battle to be the number-one platform for smart contracts and dapps is a fierce one. Not only will Aeternity be in direct competition with Ethereum, but it will also be in competition with a host of other strong contenders such as EOS, NEO and ADA Being able to find a place in the congested smart contract ecosystem will play a huge part in the success of the Aeternity platform.
  • Use-case. AE tokens function as the utility token of the Aeternity network. They can be used as a medium of exchange, to pay for transaction fees, and to deploy decentralised applications on the protocol.
  • Hybrid consensus mechanism. Unlike other smart contract-focussed platforms, Aeternity utilises a hybrid Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Work (PoW) model. It intends to address the environmental issues of mining as well as preventing whales from amassing and staking large portions of tokens to gain developmental control of a platform.

How to sell Aeternity

You can cash out your AE with the same exchange you bought it through:

  1. Sign in to the exchange you have AE on.
    If you store your Aeternity in a digital wallet, compare crypto exchanges to sell it on.
  2. Place a sell order.
    Choose the amount of AE you'd like to sell.
  3. Complete your transaction.
    Confirm the sell price and fees and close your sale of Aeternity.
