How to buy IOEN

The IOEN token is an Ethereum based token that will be used for value transfer between IOEN connected MicroGrids. It will also be enabled as the denomination for users within those connected grids to on/off ramp value. Finally token holders will be able to influence, contribute, and vote on elements of connected grid projects and in time benefit from value produced from that project.

Connect, contribute and benefit from these connected services through your holdings.

The simplest way to buy the IOEN Token is from one of the Exchange Service like a Centralized or Decentralized Exchange - Gate.io, Uniswap or Quickswap.
