CTXC is the native token used within Cortex. It is used to pay for computational resources within the CVM. CTXC can be stored in Cortex Wallet (download through official website) or any of the supported exchanges.
Cortex charges a fee, known as endorphin, per computational step that is executed in a contract or transaction to prevent deliberate attacks and abuse on the Cortex network (See endorphine).
You can get CTXC with the following methods:
- Trade through cryptocurrency exchanges (full list here);
- Become a Cortex Miner (see mining)
