Visit tokenequityx.co.zw and click "Get Started." You'll create an account with your email address and set a secure password. You'll also set up two-factor authentication (2FA) — this is required for all accounts and adds an essential layer of security for your investments.

All investors must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before trading. This is a regulatory requirement under SECZ and SI 99 of 2026. You'll need: a government-issued ID (national ID or passport), proof of address (utility bill or bank statement dated within 3 months), and a selfie for identity verification. Standard KYC takes 24–48 hours. Institutional KYC (companies, trusts) takes 3–5 business days.

After KYC approval, you'll receive a custodial wallet address. Deposit USDC to this address from any exchange or external wallet. Minimum deposit: USD 50. Your balance is displayed in USD-equivalent and is immediately available for trading once the blockchain transaction confirms (typically under 2 minutes on Polygon).

The order book shows all open buy and sell orders for each token. The "best bid" is the highest price someone will pay; the "best ask" is the lowest price someone will sell at. To buy at the current market price, place a market order. To specify a maximum price you're willing to pay, place a limit order — it will execute only when a matching seller appears.

Select the token you want to invest in, choose "Buy," enter the quantity or value, and review the fee breakdown (0.50% per trade). Once placed, your order is matched by the TradeEngine smart contract — a fully audited on-chain system. Settlement is instant. Your token balance updates in real time.
