In addition to centralised exchanges, decentralised Exchanges are also a popular choice for trading cryptocurrencies like IoTeX (IOTX). You may find the IOTX token on DEXs that operate on the networks compatible with IoTeX. Some popular DEX options include:
| Exchange | Network | Description |
|---|---|---|
The availability of IOTX on these DEXs can change, so it's important to check their current listings. Also, when using DEXs, be cautious and ensure you're interacting with the legitimate smart contract of the token to avoid scams. DEXs require a bit more understanding of blockchain technology and wallet management, so if you're new to this, it might be helpful to do some research or seek advice from more experienced users.
Users have the option to purchase directly using a debit or credit card on Mimo DEX. This feature is integrated within the ioPay app, providing a streamlined process for transactions. It allows for a straightforward purchasing experience without the necessity to leave the app or use additional external platforms.

You need the IOTX Native Token to Stake
Please be aware that for the purpose of staking, you will need the Native IOTX token (i.e., on the IoTeX Network). Any synthetic or mirrored versions of the IOTX token on different blockchains, including the IOTX ERC20 token on Ethereum, will not be suitable for this purpose. If you own these tokens, you will need to exchange them for the Native IOTX Token on the IoTeX Network to achieve the full benefits of using the IOTX token.
About the IOTX ERC20 Token
Most of the IOTX token supply is allocated to the IoTeX Blockchain in the form of the so-called IOTX Native token. A smaller portion still resides on the Ethereum blockchain as the IOTX ERC20 Token. This allocation dates back to when the IoTeX Blockchain was still in development. These tokens can be swapped for the IOTX Native token at any time using the ioTube Bridge.
