Learn how to buy KIRO (KIRO) in our step-by-step guide.

Where to buy KIRO in the UK

It looks like KIRO may not be available to purchase on an exchange in the UK.

You can still purchase KIRO by using a decentralised exchange (DEX) instead. Decentralised exchanges are web applications that run on blockchains like Ethereum and allow users to trade any asset directly with one another.

Decentralised 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 decentralised exchanges first if you're unfamiliar.

How to purchase KIRO using a decentralised exchange.
  1. Find KIRO on a decentralised exchange and make sure KIRO can be traded for ETH which is the native asset of Ethereum. Popular DEXs include Uniswap, SushiSwap and 1INCH.
  2. Buy ETH to trade for KIRO using an exchange like CoinJar. You will need to purchase enough ETH to swap for KIRO as well as ETH to pay for transaction fees on the Ethereum network (known as gas). You can use a service like Etherscan to get an idea of how much gas fees currently cost.
  3. Transfer the ETH into a web 3.0 wallet like MetaMask to connect to the DEX.
  4. Trade ETH for KIRO on the DEX of your choice, following the instructions on screen. Make sure to leave enough ETH in your wallet to pay for gas.
  5. Wait for the transaction to finalise and the KIRO tokens will arrive in your wallet.
  6. You may now keep the tokens in your web 3.0 wallet or transfer them somewhere more secure like a hardware wallet.

Is KIRO a good investment?

KIRO is an integral part of the unique safety-net protocol Kiribo. However, when it comes to altcoins, innovation does not guarantee returns, which is why it is extremely important to evaluate both the token and associated protocol. Here are a few factors to consider before investing in KIRO:

  • Innovative and niche: The Kiribo platform provides an innovative solution to a significant problem within the cryptocurrency industry. Many cryptocurrency assets are lost on a daily basis due to the design of smart contracts. While smart contracts provide automation and openness they are designed to be immutable. Kiribo provides solutions to several of the issues that the current DeFi ecosystem suffers from. There are not many other competitors in this niche market.
  • dApp deployment:The only dApps currently employing Kiribo’s unique features are Kiribo native dApps. For further growth, Kiribo will need to integrate with some of the larger decentralised applications. If the protocol can achieve this, it will likely place more demand on the native KIRO token.
  • Missing elements from whitepaper: While the majority of the native Kiribo website is up to date, there are elements of copy missing from the native whitepaper. For any project that wishes to progress in the future, having an up to date whitepaper is an absolute necessity.
    • Today's KIRO price versus ATH
