Exchanges
Arweave is a decentralized storage protocol that allows data to be permanently stored on the blockchain. Odysee uses Arweave's native AR token to enable sending payments, tips, or establishing memberships on Odysee.
To manage your AR tokens, use the AR wallet on Odysee or Wander wallet (available as a browser extension and mobile app). Wander may be a preferred choice here as it allows you to interact with the Arweave network securely and easily.
If you haven't created a wallet or installed Wander yet, we encourage you to visit the documentation page for a step-by-step guide on how to create a wallet or install Wander.
In this tutorial, we'll walk you through how to send your AR tokens from your Wander wallet to an exchange like Binance, Kraken, Crypto.com or Coinex to sell or trade them.
Steps to Send AR to an Exchange
- Make sure you have AR in your wallet: Open your AR wallet by click Arweave Account on Odysee or through your Wander wallet (extension or app). Verify that you have enough AR for the transaction (remember to consider network fees).
