Our Token Distribution Event will be announced soon.

Thanks for your interest in Tokenza. To contribute to our token sale, you need a private Ethereum wallet where you control the private keys.

DO NOT SEND ETHEREUM TRANSACTIONS DIRECTLY FROM CRYPTOCURRENCY EXCHANGES SUCH AS COINBASE OR KRAKEN. YOU NEED A TOKEN COMPATIBLE ETHEREUM WALLET.

Use an ERC20 Compatible Wallet

To purchase TKZ token you need an ERC20 compatible Ethereum wallet:

This article will guide you through the token sale process using MyEtherWallet.

Step 1: Set up your MyEtherWallet

1. Go to https://www.myetherwallet.com/

Triple check the URL in your browser’s address bar, and bookmark it.

2. Create a new wallet

Choose a strong password, and make sure you write this password down. You can NOT reset it. If you lose the password, you’re done, and you’ll lose the access to your wallet and funds.

3. Download Keystore File

Download and copy this file to multiple locations, such as your Documents folder and an external USB drive. As the warning says on the website, do not share this with anyone. If they know your password and have this file, they can access your funds. This file is for you, and for you alone.

Also save your ‘Private Key’. Your ‘Private Key’ is another way to access your wallet, without having your ‘Keystore File’ and password.

Do not store this key on your computer. Rather, click “Print Paper Wallet”, which will print your wallet address with the private key to a piece of paper.

Step 2: Fund your wallet with ETH

You will need to unlock your address to send Ether to your wallet.

If you hold Bitcoin or other crypto-currencies we recommend using ShapeShift to exchange them for ETH. A Youtube guide on using ShapeShift can be found here.

To fund your MyEtherWallet account, you can also buy Ether with your credit card on Coinbase. Read this guide for step by step instructions.

Send Ether to your MyEtherWallet Account Address. At this stage if everything is OK, you should now have ETH in your wallet.

Step 3: Contribute and buy TKZ tokens

Now that you have a compatible wallet and some ETH, you need to send the amount of ETH you want to contribute (from your wallet) to the Tokenza’s Token Sale ETH Address.

  1. On MyEtherWallet, go to Send Ether & Tokens
  2. Select Keystore File (UTC / JSON)
  3. Select your Wallet File (where you saved your keystore file)
  4. Enter your password
  5. Select Unlock

Then:

  1. Go to our website https://www.tokenza.com/
  2. Click on the Buy Token button and follow the instructions to find the Token Sale ETH Address (this is the address you must send your ETH to).

The address will be shown on our website 24 hours before the token sale. But, you may only send ETH after the token sale starts (November 8th, 2017 @ 12:00). Please do NOT send your ETH before, as it will be automatically rejected and you will loose the gas (small transaction fees).

To make the transaction:

  • Enter the Token Sale ETH Address
  • Enter the amount of ETH you would like to contribute
  • Enter enough Gas: 300'000 Gas Limit
  • Click on “Generate Transaction”

The transaction data will be generated. Now you just have to click “Send
Transaction”
.

Then, MyEtherWallet will ask you to check your information. After this step your ETH will leave your wallet, so make sure your are sending funds to the real Tokenza ETH Address obtained from https://www.tokenza.com/.

Triple check the ETH address again, then if you are sure click “Yes, I am sure! Make transaction.”

Congratulations!

You will now receive the amount of TKZ that corresponds to the amount of ETH you contributed.
