Step 1: Sign up for an account on KuCoin

Storing KuCoin Token (KCS)
Once you’ve purchased KCS, the next step is to store it securely. There are several options for storing KCS, including on the KuCoin exchange or in a wallet outside of the exchange. Here’s a breakdown of the different storage options:
Option 1: Keep KCS on the KuCoin exchange
If you plan to trade KCS frequently, it may be easiest to keep it on the KuCoin exchange. To do this, simply leave your KCS in your KuCoin account. KuCoin takes security very seriously and has multiple layers of protection in place to keep your funds safe.
Option 2: Store KCS in a hardware wallet
If you plan to hold KCS for the long term, you may want to consider storing it in a hardware wallet. A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency offline, making it much more secure than keeping it on an exchange. Popular hardware wallets for storing KCS include the Ledger Nano S and Trezor.
Option 3: Store KCS in a software wallet
If you don’t want to invest in a hardware wallet, you can also store KCS in a software wallet. A software wallet is a digital wallet that you can download and install on your computer or mobile device. Popular software wallets for storing KCS include MyEtherWallet and Exodus.
