Obtaining PART

To use Particl Marketplace and enjoy its privacy features, you need the PART coin. It can be purchased or exchanged using cryptocurrency exchanges and various online services.

Cryptocurrency Exchanges

While cryptocurrency exchanges are mostly regulated and privately held companies intent on making a profit, they are the most common way to obtain coins. In some cases, owning Bitcoin is a prerequisite to purchasing PART.

  1. Register on the cryptocurrency exchange of choice

  2. (Optional) If you don’t already own Bitcoin, trade some using other cryptocurrencies

  3. Trade Bitcoin (BTC) for Particl (PART)

  4. Withdraw PART to your local wallet’s Public address within the Particl Desktop client. Refer to the Receive Coins user guide for more details
