Where to buy ZK
Exchanges whose own market lists currently show a live ZK market:
| Exchange | Market | Pair |
|---|---|---|

| OKX | Spot | ZK-USDT |
| Binance | Perpetual futures | ZKUSDT |

Perpetual futures are leveraged derivatives — they don't give you ownership of ZK. To hold the coin itself, buy it on a spot market.
Networks and contract addresses
ZK is issued as a token on the networks below. Deposit and withdraw only on a network that both your exchange and your wallet support.
| Network | Contract address |
|---|---|
| Ethereum | 0x66a5cfb2e9c529f14fe6364ad1075df3a649c0a5 |
| zkSync Era | 0x5a7d6b2f92c77fad6ccabd7ee0624e64907eaf3e |
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 ZK 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 ZK
Open the ZK 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 ZK to a personal wallet (hardware wallets are safest). When withdrawing, choose a network your wallet supports — such as Ethereum and zkSync Era — and send a small test amount first.
