How do I find the best places to buy The Graph?

Cryptocurrency exchanges offer similar services, but differ in a few key ways – mainly fees, the range of cryptos available and payment methods. You can use our table to compare the features of popular cryptocurrency exchanges available in Canada to help you choose the one that's right for you.

Some other factors you may want to consider are customer support, user reviews, ease of use and whether or not the exchange is registered with a local regulator. This information can be found by clicking on the exchange name in the table which will take you to its review page.

What will I need to buy The Graph?

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 The Graph.

  • 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 GRT 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 are the best ways to buy The Graph?

Once you've created an account, you will need to deposit funds to buy GRT with. You can either deposit local currency from a bank account or credit card, or transfer cryptocurrency from another exchange or wallet. Here are some popular ways to buy GRT:

  • Bank account: Transfers from local bank accounts are usually free, but you will need to double-check this with the exchange you choose – this information can be found in our table by clicking on 'view details'.
  • Credit or debit card: Linking a card to your account is another convenient way to top up your account, but be aware that it usually attracts an additional fee. An advantage, though, is that you can use a card to make instant purchases or set up a recurring purchase.
  • Cryptocurrency: You can usually purchase GRT by trading it for another cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or a stablecoin. This varies between exchanges though, so you will need to search for GRT on the spot market to see what cryptocurrencies it can be traded for.

What is the easiest way to buy The Graph?

The easiest way to buy GRT 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.

Before buying GRT, you may want to check the market conditions. To help you decide if now is the right time to buy, you can take a look at our all-time high tool to get an idea of how the price of The Graph has been performing recently.

Best The Graph wallets to store your GRT

You can keep your GRT 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 GRT below.

Is The Graph a good investment?

Any cryptocurrency purchase should be evaluated for potential upsides and potential risks. Before purchasing GRT, here a few points to consider:
  • Real-world utility: It is extremely difficult for users to source queries across different cryptocurrency blockchains. However, using The Graph, it is possible to search through volumes of data spread out across a whole host of networks (such as Ethereum, InterPlanetary File System, etc). As per The Graph's website, the protocol achieves this without directly interfacing with any third-party intermediary.
  • Futuristic design: The platform makes it possible for users to search through a number of crypto ecosystems in a fast, reliable and secure manner. Once found, the platform then enables individuals to devise and deploy a range of APIs. APIs enable two separate apps to seamlessly interface with one another. The convenience and flexibility of The Graph could encourage widespread adoption.
  • Development team: The Graph's core team consists of established crypto personnel such as Yaniv Tal, who's associated with a number of established projects like WorkFlo and MuleSoft. Other team members include Brandon Ramirez, Jannis Pohlmann and other professionals that have worked for companies like RedHat and Barclays plc.
  • Operational set-up: GRT tokens are used to facilitate all transactions being executed by the network's participants. This includes indexers, curators and delegators. Indexers are community members that govern the platform's nodes and stake GRT (thus earning rewards in the process). Curators, which index data, and delegators, which support the system, also have to stake tokens. The changing number of participants within the ecosystem will inherently affect the demand for GRT.
