Best PIVX wallets to store your PIVX

You can keep your PIVX 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 PIVX below.

Is PIVX a good investment?

When investing in cryptocurrency, it's important to perform ample due diligence due to their speculative nature. In the case of PIVX, here are some factors worth considering:

• Competition. Privacy was one of the very first focusses of blockchain-based currency, and has remained a point of emphasis as the ecosystem's evolved. The list of potential competitiors to PIVX’s market space is lengthy – Monero, Zcash, Decred, Horizen, Verge, Bytecoin and many others.
• Unique features. PIVX does a few things differently to a number of other privacy coins. For starters, PIVX burns 100% of all transaction fees in an effort to control inflation. Furthermore, PIVX was one of the first networks to enable private staking – the ability to earn interest on your locked-up tokens without having to share certain financial data. PIVX also has a native wallet which can be used for staking and private transactions.
• Developers. PIVX is largely community-developed. The project was initially founded by three developers known as Coin-Server, s3v3nh4cks and Stakebox, but governance of the network’s direction has always laid squarely with the community. Because it is community-led, PIVX is one of the most actively developed blockchain projects. You can view their ongoing proposals via the PIVX website. Voting rights are attained through staking tokens on the network.
