How to buy Metadium (META) in the UK

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

Where to buy Metadium in the UK

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

You can still purchase META 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 META using a decentralised exchange.
  1. Find META on a decentralised exchange and make sure Metadium 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 META using an exchange like CoinJar. You will need to purchase enough ETH to swap for META 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 META 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 META 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.

You can follow the same process when you want to sell your tokens, or come back to this page to see if they can now be traded on an exchange in the UK.

Best Metadium wallets to store your META

You can keep your META 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 META below.

Is Metadium a good investment?

Before buying META, you should evaluate all the risks and influencing factors associated with both the token and the platform.
  • Mainstream usability: By possessing attested copies of one’s personal IDs on a blockchain platform, Metadium serves as the perfect bridge between end-users and various service providers. The wider the mainstream adoption of such applications, the more demand there will be for the META token.
  • Development team: The platform is fronted by a number of reputable, established industry personnel, including Justin Park, Jeffrey Song and Songyi Lee. While Park has previously worked as a senior engineer for Samsung, Song has been associated with a number of prominent companies such as Smilegate, Gobi Partners and Kionix.
  • Supply: META has a maximum supply of 2 billion tokens. There are 1.25 billion META tokens currently in circulation.
