What will I need to buy Tranchess?
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 Tranchess.
- 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 CHESS 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 Tranchess?
The easiest way to buy CHESS 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 Tranchess a good investment?
CHESS is the native cryptocurrency of the platform and can be used for various governance related processes. Here are a few key aspects of the project worth considering before investing in it:
- Unique operational design: Tranchess’ financial framework allows users to enhance their overall yield returns without them having to incur any ‘impermanent losses’. Furthermore, the platform provides users with leveraged positions at low costs without any forced liquidation-related issues. According to Coinmarketcap Coinmarketcap fund holders don't have to be locked into any fixed contract. Lastly, the system is designed to mitigate any Oracle attack-related issues via the use of a TWAP (Time Weighted Average Price) module.
- Tokenomics:In all, only a total of 300 million CHESS tokens will ever enter into mainstream circulation. Of these coins, 50% have been set aside as client incentives, 20% for the core dev team, 20% for future/seed investors and the remaining 10% for the system’s native treasury pool.
- Solid backing team:Tranchess Protocol is the creation of Danny Chong, a fintech veteran who has previously worked for a number of mainstream giants including BNP Paribas and Societe Generale. Furthermore, other members of the platform’s dev team have been associated with companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, UBS before joining Tranchess.
- Security centric design: The platform’s smart contracts do not depend on external price feeds emanating from other smart contracts, thereby making them extremely resistant to many common issues (such as flash loan attacks). Additionally, Tranchess’ code is regularly audited by well known firms including Peckshield, Certik, Immunefi, etc.
