at a time

QORT is the native coin of the Qortal blockchain. Unlike typical crypto tokens, QORT powers a decentralized infrastructure that supports peer-to-peer apps, private communication, and data exchange, all without relying on centralized servers or any third parties.

It's earned by the minters for validation transactions on the blockchain, and is used across the Qortal ecosystem!

Yes! You can buy QORT directly from within Qortal. Simply install any of the Qortal user interfaces—Qortal Hub, Qortal Go, or the Qortal Browser Extension—and create a new Qortal account.

Upon creating your account, you’ll automatically get a Litecoin (LTC) wallet address. You can purchase LTC from any centralized exchange like Coinbase or Binance, then send it to your new wallet. Once you have LTC in your Qortal wallet, use the Q-Trade app (available within the UI) to trade LTC for QORT through a secure, trustless cross-chain atomic swap.

There is no KYC, no wrapped tokens, and no third-party custody—just real peer-to-peer trading on the Qortal blockchain.

Yes, QORT is currently listed on TradeOgre, a centralized exchange that allows trading QORT against USDT. TradeOgre does not require KYC, making it one of the few centralized exchanges where you can still trade privately.

However, for maximum security and decentralization, we recommend using Q-Trade, which is Qortal’s built-in peer-to-peer exchange, to buy QORT directly with LTC inside your own wallet. Q-Trade requires no sign-up, no personal info, and avoids the risks of centralized custody or exchange shutdowns.

QORT is the ideal cryptocurrency for those who want to invest in a project which is sticking to the ideals of Web3: Complete decentralization (your only connection to the normal internet is your Internet Service Provider), complete privacy (no tracking, no censorship, no cookies, no ads, no data collection), and complete security (no hacking, no phishing, no malware).

It is also a blockchain with no centralized nodes, everything is peer-to-peer (P2P). The entire codebase is also open-source and transparent. This makes it the ideal internet replacement, and the ideal cryptocurrency to invest in!

The best way to learn more about Qortal and QORT and to see its true power, is to install Qortal, run a node, and start using it on your own! However, if you want to learn more about the project before doing so, you can join our Discord here. and ask any questions you may have.

We also have a Wiki with all the technical specifications here.
