Welcome to Quanta Compass
At Quanta, our mission is to help you understand the technicalities of investing and participating in cryptocurrency and blockchain projects. For the beginner, it can be daunting and downright confusing! Just knowing where to start is a huge challenge.
Our goal is to help people and businesses onboard to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Whether you’re an individual or a multinational company, we can guide you into this new and exciting world of digital assets.
What We Offer
Personal Assistance
Our personal advice service is voluntary. We are here to help, and if you find value in the information, data, video, documents and technical advice we provide, we simply request you make a crypto donation to one of the addresses listed on our website and use the affiliate links within the material. It all helps to keep Quanta operational.
While we would love to help everyone equally, our time is limited and content takes time to produce. Therefore, we will prioritise our more generous donors. We aim to reply to all messages, but during busy times it may take some time to get a response

The cryptocurrency world is growing rapidly as technology continues to thrive. Individuals are spoilt for choice and have many options for purchasing digital assets. In Australia, there are several options worth considering.
When signing up for a cryptocurrency exchange, it is likely you will be required to provide identifying information to the exchanges Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) process. Before you get started, be prepared with:
- A driver licence or passport (sometimes both)
- A pen and paper
- Your digital camera to take photos of documents or a selfy
- A strong password. The password should be more than 12 characters, use upper, lower case and even special characters. More characters the better and absolutely no simple words, names or places.
- A password manager such as Lastpass is highly recommended, see the section below
- Time. You’ll need 15-20 minutes of uninterrupted time.

How much should a digital asset cost?
This is a difficult question as the answer always depends on the situation. A person in one country may value something more or less than another for an infinite number of reasons. Another might find digital artwork attractive, another might not! People are people!
At last count there are over 9000 cryptocurrency and blockchain projects listed on major websites, many are legitimate projects trying to carve out a future, many are outright scams.
These are the most reputable sites for discovering a suitable value and provide a great base for doing your own research.
It’s also worth noting, these sites aggregate price feed from top exchanges so the individual price will vary when buying, selling or trading.
The below provides a high-level overview of crypto and digital asset exchanges. There are two predominant types, centralised and decentralised.
Centralised Exchanges
These are the typical, or standard, exchanges that resemble your typical stockbroker which trades shares on a stock exchange. The exchanges maintain a central order book and typically you must register and complete KYC/AML in order to buy, sell or trade.
Decentralised Exchanges (advanced users)
A decentralised exchange runs on the blockchain itself. There are many types of decentralised exchanges operating across different blockchains. The most common decentralised exchanges are cryptocurrency or stable coin only. You can not send money from your bank account directly to a decentralised exchange. FIAT must first be converted to crypto in order to trade.
This is an ever-evolving & changing landscape. This is an advanced topic, but for visibility, we’ve summarised some exchanges below. For more information, contact us.

Decentralised Finance (DeFi) & Centralised Finance (CFi)
DeFi and CFi are new ways to hold your crypto and making a yield (positive or negative!). There are countless business models, many are experimental and are proliferating across the cryptoverse. In the following section, we reference some of the products and services used at Quanta. Again and as always, it is critical you do your own research before transferring any crypto to these services.
