What will I need to buy Vulcan Forged?
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 Vulcan Forged.
- 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 PYR 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 Vulcan Forged?
The easiest way to buy PYR 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 Vulcan Forged a good investment?
All altcoin investments should be considered for potential upsides and potential downsides. It is, therefore, crucial to evaluate both the token and associated protocol. Here are a few factors to consider before investing in PYR:
- Gaming ecosystem: Besides VulcanVerse, which was created by developers behind the Vulcan Forged platform, community members have gone on to launch additional native games. Native games include Block Babies, GeoCats, Vulcan Chess, Forge Arena, and Coddle Pets. The adoption by community members is encouraging to see and the variety of games may attract more users in comparison to other GameFi platforms that focus on one genre of game.
- Staking rewards: Users can stake PYR tokens in the native Myforge wallet to earn LAVA rewards. The longer that a user stakes, the more rewards that are generated.
- Land staking: Users can also level up pieces of land within the VulcanVerse by staking PYR tokens. If tokens remain staked, VulcanVerse land will retain its associated level. If PYR tokens are removed, a user’s land will revert back to its previous level. As the adoption of the VulcanVerse increases, the demand for PYR could grow accordingly as more users seek to upgrade parcels of digital land.
- Scalability: Vulcan Forged and the PYR token run on Ethereum’s layer-2 scaling solution network, Polygon. The use of Polygon’s infrastructure means players can enjoy fast and cheap transactions whether in-game or in the native marketplace. Quick and low-cost transactions are crucial to the wider adoption of a gaming protocol.
- Centralised governance: The Vulcan Forged ecosystem is currently run and operated by a private organisation based in Singapore. The entity has not yet made any announcements to suggest that a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) could be created in the future to surrender control. The platform will likely remain centralised for the foreseeable future.
- Token supply: PYR has a maximum supply of 50 million tokens. 20 million tokens were released via an initial liquidity offering (ILO). A further 10 million will be released gradually over a four-year period to reward pools. A further 14.5 million will act as a reserve and will remain locked for several years. The team behind the project is set to take 2.5 million of the PYR supply, which will be released gradually over 10 years starting in March 2024. This slow-release should ensure that significant selling pressure does not enter the market at any one time.
- Competition: GameFi – the combination of decentralised finance (DeFi) and gaming - is one of the hottest sectors in crypto. As a result, there is no shortage of competitors for Vulcan Forged - both old and new. Vulcan Forged will need to compete with projects such as Gala Games, Enjin, Axie Infinity, and MOBOX.
