The gap between venues
Cheapest on Bybit, dearest on Bybit, 2.38% apart. Those are quotes, not profit: two sets of fees, the transfer and slippage all come out of it.
What this coin is
Waves is a token trading under the ticker WAVES. The project is classified under "Smart Contract Platform". It runs on Ethereum. Market capitalisation is $24.9M, ranking 737 by that measure. 100.0M are in circulation out of 100.0M. The all-time high was $61.3, reached on March 31, 2022.
Contract address: 0x1cf4592ebffd730c7dc92c1bdffdfc3b9efcf29a. This is the only reliable way to confirm you are buying this coin rather than a namesake: tickers are not unique in crypto.
Deposits and withdrawals
Venues open trading before transfers more often than you would expect. What they state right now:
| Venue | Chain | Deposit | Withdrawal |
|---|---|---|---|
| KuCoin | Waves | open | open |
| KuCoin | Ethereum | closed | closed |
| Bitget | Waves | closed | open |
| Gate | Waves | open | open |
| Gate | Ethereum | open | open |
| HTX | Waves | open | open |
Note that withdrawals are closed on KuCoin. Until they open, the coin cannot leave — that matters more than any spread.
Contract address
The same ticker routinely covers different tokens on different venues, and buying "the same coin" on the wrong chain or at the wrong address does not come back. These are the addresses by which the exchanges we collect from identify this coin:
| Chain | Address |
|---|---|
| Ethereum | 0x1cf4592ebffd730c7dc92c1bdffdfc3b9efcf29a |
Check the address before you buy and before you transfer. A matching name and ticker mean nothing: anyone can issue a token under any name, and most fakes are built on exactly that.
What matters here
After the pair is removed the coin will still trade on 5 of the venues we cover, so there will be somewhere to trade it. What matters is different: the trading halt and the withdrawal cut-off do not fall on the same day, and missing the second leaves you with an asset you can neither sell nor move.
