Where to buy AR
Exchanges whose own market lists currently show a live AR market:
| Exchange | Market | Pair |
|---|---|---|
| Binance | Spot | ARUSDT |
| Bybit | Spot | ARUSDT |
| OKX | Spot | AR-USDT |
| Binance | Perpetual futures | ARUSDT |
| Bybit | Perpetual futures | ARUSDT |
| OKX | Perpetual futures | AR-USDT-SWAP |
Perpetual futures are leveraged derivatives — they don't give you ownership of AR. To hold the coin itself, buy it on a spot market.
Networks and contract addresses
Arweave runs on its own blockchain, so there is no token contract to check — when you withdraw, choose the native AR network.
Always verify a contract address on the project's official website or a block explorer before sending funds — scam tokens copy the names and tickers of popular coins.
1. Choose a reputable exchange
Pick a well-established exchange that lists AR and serves your country — for example Binance, Bybit, and OKX. Compare fees, supported payment methods and security track record.
2. Create and verify your account
Sign up with your email, set a strong password and enable two-factor authentication. Most exchanges require identity verification (KYC) before you can deposit.
3. Deposit funds
Fund your account by bank transfer, card or another cryptocurrency. Bank transfers are usually cheapest; cards are fastest.
4. Buy AR
Open the AR market, enter the amount you want to buy and confirm. A market order fills instantly at the current price; a limit order lets you set your own price.
5. Store it securely
For long-term holding, move your AR to a personal wallet (hardware wallets are safest). Only keep on the exchange what you plan to trade soon.
