Before placing an order

Check BAT and account eligibility

Open MEXC's official site, not a sponsored lookalike. Search for Basic Attention Token (BAT) in the spot or purchase product available to your account. Confirm the full asset name and any network or contract identifier; a matching ticker, derivatives contract or price page is not proof that you can buy and withdraw the asset.

Exact asset and account eligibility checked

Create and protect your account

If MEXC permits this product for your residence and account, follow its own registration and identity-verification flow. Use a unique password and strong two-factor authentication. Required documents and processing times depend on the provider and your account; no fixed approval time is promised. Which MEXC order behavior matches your intention? Decide whether you want immediate execution, a specified price or linked conditions. MEXC's order guide describes Limit, Market, TP/SL, OCO and Trailing Stop, but the practical differences matter more than the labels. A market order's actual fill can differ from the price you saw, while an unmatched limit instruction waits in the order book.

Account requirements and authentication checked

Compare funding and total charges

Use only payment methods actually offered in your account. Read the deposit fee, settlement or withdrawal hold, and minimum before transferring funds. A trading fee is not a card-processing fee. A USDT or USDC quote balance is not the same as a USD bank deposit. What does the fee page establish about MX? It establishes conditions, not a universal savings promise. On October 14, 2026, the fee body said maker/taker rates may vary with platform events or user region and directed you to actual trade history. It also described MX deduction as an enabled feature, with excluded pairs, exhausted-balance limits and account-dependent visibility. No usable numeric discount is adopted here.

Funding cost, hold and payment currency checked

Review the BAT order before confirming

If the exact asset is available, enter a budget in the supported quote currency and inspect the BAT quantity, total debit, spread and trading charge. Compare like-for-like previews at the same time. A limit order may not fill; an order that fills immediately can incur taker fees even if it is a limit order. Do not assume an advanced interface means zero fees.

Asset quantity, total debit and execution terms checked

Check BAT withdrawal and custody

Before withdrawing, confirm the exact asset and network supported by both MEXC and your receiving wallet, including any memo or tag. Check withdrawal availability, charges and holds. A test transfer can reduce address mistakes but does not prove a destination is trustworthy. Exchange custody and self-custody both have risks at any balance; never share a seed phrase.

Network, destination and custody risks checked

Marked checks are your notes, not a safety certification or an instruction to trade.

What matters for BAT

Coin-specific reference notes. Exchange support must still be checked separately.

What is Basic Attention Token?

Basic Attention Token, or BAT, is the token associated with Brave's advertising and creator ecosystem. It originated as an Ethereum ERC-20 token; Brave also supports Wormhole-bridged SPL-BAT on Solana. Neither representation is the native coin securing its host blockchain, and the networks are not interchangeable.

How can you buy Basic Attention Token safely?

Verify BAT's contract or Solana mint using Brave's official documentation before buying or withdrawing. Confirm the recipient supports that exact representation, compare the total quote and test a small transfer where practical. Do not send funds to the token contract or mint address itself.

How much does it cost to buy Basic Attention Token?

A BAT purchase can involve a spread, trading commission, payment charges and withdrawal costs. Moving Ethereum BAT uses ETH gas, while SPL-BAT transactions require SOL; bridging adds separate costs and risks. Compare the final received amount on your intended network rather than only the displayed token price.

How can you store Basic Attention Token securely?

Back up the wallet recovery phrase offline and protect both Ethereum and Solana accounts if you use both BAT representations. A Brave browser profile or Rewards connection is not a substitute for wallet recovery. Never share the seed to resolve a payout issue or authorize an unfamiliar token approval.

How do you send Basic Attention Token to another wallet?

Select the correct BAT token and network, enter the recipient address and amount, then review fees before signing. Brave's SPL-BAT guide requires SOL in the same wallet for Solana transactions. An ordinary send does not convert Ethereum BAT into SPL-BAT or bridge between the two networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you buy Basic Attention Token on MEXC?

This checklist does not confirm current access to BAT in your MEXC account. Check the exact asset, spot or purchase product, and residence rules before depositing. Any public catalogue observation above is dated, product-specific evidence, not account eligibility or withdrawal support.

What is the minimum cost to buy BAT on MEXC?

Use the minimum and total charge displayed for your exact account, asset and order type. No current account-specific minimum is verified on this page. Any dated catalogue constraints above are not a universal retail purchase minimum or a total-cost quote. Trading, funding, spread and withdrawal costs must be checked separately.

How long does buying BAT on MEXC take?

There is no verified fixed completion time on this page. Identity review, funding settlement, order execution and withdrawal holds are separate stages. Check the status and estimated timing shown for each stage in your account; an accepted deposit does not guarantee an immediately withdrawable purchase.

What should you check before withdrawing BAT?

Confirm that the exchange and wallet support the same asset representation and network, and check whether a memo or tag is required. Review the destination address, minimum, network fee and withdrawal hold. Neither account registration nor a public spot listing certifies withdrawal support, insurance or the safety of your balance. This is not financial advice.

Compare the full cost

Use the same budget and payment method. Compare net coins received, then add any withdrawal cost.

Regional access

What must you establish before funding MEXC? Establish your permitted service and requested identity checks first. In the User Agreement retrieved on October 14, 2026, MEXC says products and functionality may be unavailable or restricted by jurisdiction or user. It also requires accurate identity information and supporting documents, with possible restrictions if you fail to provide them. This does not support describing the service as universally available or verification-free.
