# Buying $KIX platform token

To trade on the KiX NFT exchange or to govern our protocol, the platform token $KIX is essential; it is the lifeblood of the platform and has multiple functions.

As KiX is fully Web3, traders can only interact with the product using crypto-currencies, which have a current value of more than $1trn.&#x20;

For traders who prefer to use conventional fiat currencies like USD and EUR, KiX offers a convenient solution. We will provide on-ramp service providers that allow you to easily convert your fiat into a suitable token for use on our platform.

$KIX tokens can be bought by being 'swapped' for the [$USDT](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/) stablecoin via our '[XYK AMM](https://learncrypto.com/knowledge-base/basics/amm-explained-automated-market-makers-how-they-work).' This requirement is an absolute condition of the platform to ensure that all liquidity in the treasury reserve and the [XYK AMM](https://learncrypto.com/knowledge-base/basics/amm-explained-automated-market-makers-how-they-work) is subject to as little price volatility as possible. $KIX might also be paired with BTC and ETH in the future. Once traders have added $USDC to their smart accounts following this process, you will need to buy the platform token $KIX to buy the NFT footballer DATs and to participate in the additional utility, e.g. the bi-weekly contests or lock $KIX to participate in governance.\
