You can buy NAV from decentralized exchanges such as AtomicDEX-CE (guide) and PancakeSwap (guide), or centralized exchanges like SouthXchange and Bittrex. If you wish to acquire xNAV instead, it's possible to swap NAV to xNAV at a 1 to 1 rate using one of our wallets.

Use our family of light wallets to hold your coins without the need of advanced technical skills to make it happen. This option also enables you to cold-stake your coins and earn rewards by doing so. Find out more about cold-staking your coins, while using a light wallet, here.

By setting up a full node, you can help to secure the network by validating its transactions. You can also choose to participate in the mixing of coins on the private side of the network, and thus help enhance its privacy. A full node requires regular maintenance and a bit more technical skills than that of a light wallet, and thus full node operators are also the ones to be rewarded the most for their efforts. For the purpose of setting up a full node, we recommend you to download Navcoin Core, which is the official reference implementation published by the Navcoin Core development team.

Navcoin is a community initiative that allows anyone to contribute in a number of different ways. Governance participation, development, content creation, promotion and adoption are all equally important to us as a decentralized digital currency.

If you have any questions about Navcoin, or if you're in need of assistance to resolve issues related to the setup of your wallet or node, then feel free to visit our support page or join one of our social channels and ask our community for help using the dedicated help and support channels.
