Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common methods for buying 1INCH tokens with New Zealand Dollars (NZD)?

To purchase 1INCH with NZD, you typically need to use a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that serves as a fiat on-ramp. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML verification, and then depositing NZD via methods like a local bank transfer, Poli Payments, or a debit/credit card. Once your NZD is in the account, you can place an order for 1INCH on the platform's trading interface.

How does the Pathfinder algorithm benefit my NZD to 1INCH purchase and subsequent token swaps?

While your initial NZD-to-1INCH purchase happens on a centralized exchange, the Pathfinder algorithm is crucial for when you use your 1INCH tokens on-chain. As a core component of the 1inch DEX aggregator, Pathfinder finds the most efficient swapping routes across numerous decentralized exchanges and liquidity sources. It can split a single trade across multiple protocols to minimize price slippage and reduce gas fees, ensuring you get the best possible rate when swapping your 1INCH for other digital assets.

What are the typical transaction fees to consider when buying 1INCH with NZD?

There are several fees: 1) Deposit Fee: Some exchanges may charge a fee for depositing NZD, especially for card payments. 2) Trading Fee: A percentage-based fee charged by the exchange on the total value of your 1INCH purchase. 3) Withdrawal Fee: When you move your 1INCH from the exchange to a private digital wallet, the exchange charges a fixed fee to cover the blockchain's network transaction cost, often called a 'gas fee', which can vary based on network congestion (e.g., on the Ethereum network).

What is the core function of the 1INCH token when acquired through a DEX aggregator?

The 1INCH token has two primary functions within its ecosystem: governance and utility. As a governance token, holders can participate in the 1inch Network's DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) to vote on protocol parameters. Its utility function is realized in modes like 1inch Fusion, where staking 1INCH can provide users with gas-free swaps, protecting them from front-running and offering better overall swap rates by routing trades through multiple liquidity protocols.

Are there specific KYC regulations in New Zealand I need to follow for an NZD/1INCH transaction?

Yes, any financial institution or cryptocurrency exchange operating in New Zealand that facilitates the conversion of NZD to a digital asset like 1INCH must comply with the country's Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Act. This means you will be required to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) process, which involves providing proof of identity (like a passport or driver's license) and proof of address before you can execute a trade.

How can I securely store my 1INCH tokens after purchasing them with NZD?

For optimal security, it's highly recommended to move your 1INCH tokens from the cryptocurrency exchange to a non-custodial digital wallet where you control the private keys. Options include software wallets (like MetaMask or Trust Wallet) or, for the highest level of security, a hardware wallet (like Ledger or Trezor). This practice protects your digital assets from exchange-related risks such as hacks or insolvency and gives you full sovereignty over your tokens for interacting with the 1inch Network DAO or other DeFi protocols.
