How to buy Canton Coin

Canton Coin (CC) is the Canton Network utility asset; OneSwap displays it as CC and settles against the on-ledger Amulet instrument. OneSwap has no fiat onramp, so buying CC means funding your OneSwap platform wallet with a Canton asset that a live pool pairs with CC, then swapping it through that pool. The route cards below list every asset that currently converts into CC, ordered by pool depth.

Buy CC step by step

You'll need

  • Account

    A OneSwap account. Signup creates the platform wallet that the trading app uses.

  • Funding

    The asset a live CC route starts from. A swap crosses a single pool, so only the inputs named on the route cards below convert into CC in one step.

  • Before you swap

    A few minutes to review the live quote, pool fee, and price impact before confirming the swap.

  1. Create your OneSwap wallet

    Sign up for OneSwap with your email and password, then finish email verification. OneSwap creates a secure platform wallet for your account during signup; this is the wallet whose balances are available in the trading app.

  2. Fund the OneSwap wallet

    Read the route cards below first: each one names the exact asset a funded CC pool accepts as input. Copy the Canton party ID or receive QR from your OneSwap wallet details, then send that asset to the address from its issuer, an exchange, or another Canton wallet.

  3. Accept the incoming transfer

    Open Offers in OneSwap after the sender submits the transfer. Accept the incoming offer to add it to your spendable balance, or enable auto-accept there for future incoming transfers.

  4. Swap into CC

    Pick a funded route into CC — the routes on this page are ordered by live pool depth. Enter an amount to get a quote for that exact size, then confirm the swap in OneSwap. The review screen shows the rate, the price impact for that exact size, the pool fee, and the minimum you receive after slippage; Canton network traffic is prepaid separately in CC.

  5. Verify the balance and manage the position

    Once the Canton ledger settles the transaction, the CC balance shows in your OneSwap wallet. From there you can track the live CC price, swap back out, or provide liquidity. The platform wallet is the default; on deployments that support it, Settings → Self-custody lets you take custody after backing up your key.

Scope and limits

What OneSwap does not do

There is no fiat onramp: you cannot buy CC with dollars or a card here, and connecting an external wallet does not make its balance tradable. The default signup flow creates a platform wallet that OneSwap operates for your account. On deployments with self-custody enabled, you can later take custody from Settings and keep trading through a bounded mandate.

Leaving for dollars is a separate flow. OneSwap's cash-out, still rolling out, moves CC or USDCx across the USDC bridge and pays out in dollars — unlike a swap, it runs its own identity checks.

Prices are not guaranteed either. Quotes come from pool reserves, so the rate moves as other swaps settle, and larger orders move it more. Check the live CC price and the price impact primer before sizing a first purchase.

Common questions

Buying CC FAQ

Do I need to complete KYC on OneSwap to buy CC?

OneSwap signup uses an email and password and creates a platform wallet for the account. It does not ask for government identity documents to execute a swap. Cashing out to dollars is a separate flow with its own identity checks. The platform operates that wallet by default; self-custody is an optional Settings flow on deployments where it is enabled.

Can I buy CC directly with USD or a card?

Not on OneSwap — there is no fiat onramp. Send an asset that a live CC route starts from to your OneSwap platform wallet, accept the incoming transfer, and swap it through that pool. If you hold something no CC pool pairs with, it takes two swaps: one into the route's input asset, then one into CC.

Can I trade CC from an external Canton wallet?

Trading uses the OneSwap platform wallet created at signup. An external Canton wallet can send assets to its party ID or receive a withdrawal, but its balance does not become tradable merely by connecting it to OneSwap.

What fees apply when I buy CC on OneSwap?

Two costs apply. The pool on your chosen route charges a swap fee, shown on every route card here, and Canton charges for network traffic — that one is prepaid in CC from Settings rather than deducted from the swap, so it is not a line in the quote. The review screen before you confirm shows the rate, the price impact for your exact amount, the pool fee, and the minimum you receive after slippage.

How long does a CC purchase take to settle?

OneSwap submits the trade to the Canton settlement queue and the ledger commits it from there, normally within seconds. The CC lands in your OneSwap platform wallet at that commit — there is no bridge wait, withdrawal request, or claim step afterward.
