What is Waves?
Waves is a Layer 1 blockchain platform built to let users create and trade custom tokens and run decentralized applications without writing low-level code. It pairs its own smart-contract language with built-in tooling for issuing assets, which made it an early home for token projects and DeFi.
WAVES is the native coin of the network. It is used to pay transaction fees, to secure the chain through its leased proof-of-stake consensus, and to participate in governance. The platform launched in 2016 following one of the industry's earlier ICOs, and the WAVES token has an uncapped supply tied to block rewards.
As an older chain, it has a long track record but competes with many newer Layer 1s. You can check the Waves price and hold WAVES in a self-custody wallet.

How is Waves priced?
The Waves price you see is an average of live trades from exchanges worldwide, weighted by volume so the busiest markets count for most. It refreshes continuously, day and night. Because it trades continuously and worldwide, the price can move sharply within a single day. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and nothing here is financial advice.
Where can I hold Waves?
You can hold Waves in any non-custodial wallet, which means you control the private keys rather than trusting an exchange. Zypto App is a non-custodial multichain wallet where you can hold WAVES and swap it into 24,000+ assets. WAVES isn't accepted as a payment method yet, so it can't be used for real-world spending in Zypto.
