Get WAXP and Fund an Account

WAXP is the native token used across the WAX ecosystem. You need it to fund accounts, acquire resources, trade assets, and participate in network activity.

Common Ways to Get WAXP

Users typically obtain WAXP through:

• an exchange or on-ramp that supports WAXP
• a transfer from another WAX account
• project or ecosystem distributions
• marketplace or app activity that pays out on WAX

Before You Transfer

Make sure you confirm all of the following:

• the destination is your WAX account name, not a wallet username from another chain
• the service you are using supports WAX mainnet withdrawals
• you understand any memo, network, or withdrawal requirements from the sender

After Funding

Once your account holds WAXP, you can:

• cover activity through PowerUp and resources
• use WAX apps and marketplaces
• transfer value to other WAX accounts
• participate in staking and governance

Common Mistakes

• Sending to the wrong chain or unsupported network
• Assuming all wallets use the same recovery model
• Funding an account without understanding CPU, NET, and RAM
• Treating a browser sign-in method as a full backup strategy
