What will I need to buy Synapse?
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 Synapse.
- 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 SYN 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.
Where can I buy Synapse with a credit or debit card?
Once you've created an account, you will need to deposit funds to buy SYN with. You can either deposit local currency from a bank account or credit card, or transfer cryptocurrency from another exchange or wallet. Here are popular deposit methods to buy SYN on the following exchanges:

- 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 SYN by trading it for another cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or a stablecoin. This varies between exchanges though, so you will need to search for SYN on the spot market to see what cryptocurrencies it can be traded for.
What is the easiest way to buy Synapse?
The easiest way to buy SYN 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 SYN, 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 Synapse has been performing recently.
Best Synapse wallets to store your SYN
You can keep your SYN 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 learn more about wallets and compare them with our comprehensive guide.
Is Synapse a good investment?
As with any investment, it is vital you understand the risks and potential upside of the asset before making any financial decision. With regards to SYN, here are a few things to consider:
- Competition for cross-chain transactions: A large number of protocols and exchanges have observed the demand for cross-chain transactions between BSC, Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, and a variety of other layer-1 blockchains. As a result of the interoperability issue, there are now tens of protocols focused on solving the issues faced. The Synapse Network will need to compete with protocols, such as Cosmos and Polkadot, to capture market share and, therefore, increase the use of the SYN token.
- Transition to PoS: When the Synapse Chain implements its Proof-of-Stake architecture, validators will be required to stake SYN tokens to operate on the network. Depending on the uptake from validators, this change may place increased demand on the SYN token. Staking SYN will provide economic security for the chain and lock up a portion of the token supply. This could create a supply issue for users who want to make many cross-chain transactions, which could subsequently impact the price of SYN.
- Security of cross-chain bridges: Several experts within the cryptocurrency industry, including the co-founder of Ethereum, argue that cross-chain bridges will not exist in a multi-chain future due to security issues. While an asset on its native chain is safely guarded by its own network, once it is relocated to another blockchain, its safety is dependent on the chain it is transferring to as well as the variety of protocols being used to transfer it. The adoption of Synapse could depend on the overall adoption and success of cross-chain protocols.
