How to move from Wert safely
- 1Check that the new service lists your state before you start; on-ramps publish state lists in their terms.
- 2Complete KYC with the new service; your Wert verification does not carry over.
- 3Make a small first purchase and send it to your own wallet address to confirm the network and memo are right.
- 4Compare the total you receive on the quote screen, not the headline fee, since spreads sit inside the rate.
- 5Download your Wert transaction history for tax records before you stop using it.
