# Acquiring $SAFE ## The basics SAFE can be traded at [safe.trade](https://safe.trade/). It can be transferred from one SAFE address to another, similar to other cryptocurrencies. You can also receive it as a reward for participating in the voting process (either by running a validator or staking your existing SAFE to someone else’s - this will be explained soon). Because SafeCoin did not have an IEO, there is no need for KYC (Know Your Customer) and is available to US citizens.
