What will I need to buy Flux?
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 Flux.
- 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 FLUX 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 is the easiest way to buy Flux?
The easiest way to buy FLUX 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.

Is Flux a good investment?
FLUX is crucial to the Flux protocol and is used to facilitate a wide range of internal transactions associated with the ecosystem. While the project is innovative, that innovation does not guarantee profitable returns. Here are a few factors to consider before investing in FLUX:
- Incentive driven design: Flux’s core economic framework is one that has been structured to provide tangible, timely rewards to all of its primary stakeholders including token owners, miners (accruing the asset via the use of their personal graphics processing units (GPUs), and node operators. The block reward is divided as follows: 50% is awarded to miners operating the PoW consensus mechanism, 30% is awarded to Stratus FluxNodes, 12.5% is awarded to Nimbus FluxNodes and 7.5% is awarded to Cumulus FluxNodes.
- Safe and secure alternative: Unlike a host of centralised Web 3.0 projects, including Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Azure, Flux is designed to be highly decentralised, thereby allowing users to reap many transparencies and security-related benefits afforded by blockchain technology. Decentralisation may be a factor that attracts users in the future.
- Node-based governance infrastructure: The Flux ecosystem is powered by its native ‘FluxNode framework’ which, in turn, is governed by token holders situated globally. In contrast to other projects, FluxNodes can be operated by anyone given that the individual is in possession of sufficient coins as well as the required hardware setup.
