I remember how INTIMIDATING it was to invest in my first Triple AAA blockchain game.
AAA Games are often referred to as “blockbusters” when they are released on the market and have always been well-received by the public (e.g., Assassin’s Creed, Battlefield, GTA, Call of Duty, etc…).
The Force is STRONG in this one
Is the DARK SIDE strong in you? DON’T Worry!
In this guide, we will break everything down for you.
How to Buy Senate Dao Heroes Coin?
Want to jump straight to the answer? Here’s my 3-Step process:
- STEP 1: Choose a Fiat-to-crypto exchange
Sign up for an exchange that offers fiat-to-crypto purchases.
– CEX Route: We recommend Gate.io (non-US residents). Gate.io supports SENATE crypto coin directly.
– DEX Route: We recommend Binance (non-US only) and MEXC Global (US) to purchase Ethereum (ETH).
Alternatives: Use a non-custodial fiat-to-crypto exchange such as Changelly.
- STEP 2: Buy a Crypto Paired with SENATE DAO
Sidus Heroes (SENATE) trading pairs are Tether (USDT) and WETH. Buy USDT if you want to use a Centralized Exchange (CEX). Buy ETH if you prefer a Decentralized exchange (DEX).
- STEP 3: Buy SENATE DAO crypto in a supporting Exchange
We recommend Gate.io (CEX) and Uniswap (DEX). If you are a US resident, Uniswap is your only choice.
- STEP 4 (Bonus): Keep your SENATE DAO Token safe
This step is often overlooked. “Not your keys, Not your coins.” Keeping your coins in an exchange is never wise (see the recent FTX collapse). The best hardware wallet for Sidus Heroes (SIDUS) is Ellipal.
Alternative options: SafePal and Ledger NX

2. Buy SENATE DAO in 3 DETAILED Steps
In this section, you will know EXACTLY (Step-by-Step) how and where to buy SENATE Dao heroes coin.
I will not leave any stone unturned (If you are new, DON’T WORRY!)
STEP 1 – Sign UP for GATE.IO
Gate.io is one of the world’s top ten cryptocurrency exchanges with over 1300 digital currencies and untapped altcoins. Gate.io is one of the oldest Chinese exchanges.
It was founded in 2013 and has gained a solid reputation for its services and strong security measures. It has decent platform fees (0.2%) with huge discounts and trading opportunities.
Gate.io offers products such as spot trading, leverage trading, leveraged ETF, futures trading, quantitative trading, staking, crypto loans, and liquidity mining. Due to recent changes in the regulatory climate in the United States, Gate.io no longer provides any services to the U.S or Canada.
To create a Gate.io account follow these steps:
Step 2. Register with your email. Create a password. Input your country of residence and check “I certify that I am 18 years of age or older. Read and agree to the Gate.io User Agreement Privacy Policy” and click “Create Account.”
Step 3. You will receive an email to activate your account. Click on the link provided to activate your account and log in. You will be emailed a code; input it and you are in!
Step 4. It is recommended that you go through the KYC process to rise your limits as well as enable google authenticator. Click on “KYC Now.”
Step 5-6. Gate.io will encourage you to install Google Authenticator (TOTP). Select Google Authenticator and “click here” to enable Two-factor Authenticator.
To install 2FA, select the options on the screen; if you want to use the browser extension, add it to your browser here. Scan the QR code with your Google authenticator, then click “Send Email code.” Then enter your 6-digit Google authenticator code to enable two-factor authentication.
Step 7. At the bottom of your page click on “KYC Now” again and click on “Verify Now” (below individual). Enter your basic information, upload your ID and confirm it.
Step 8. Wait for an email saying “Your Gate.io account has passed KYC certification!” and you are set!
Note: It is suggested that you set a fund password to secure your assets while trading. Click Setup at the top of your screen, where it reads “please setup fund password.” As you can see, Gate.io’s security measures are excellent.
STEP 2 – Buy USDT on GATE.IO
Gate.io supports fiat-to-crypto transactions with a variety of payment methods: Credit/Debit Card for quick transactions, Bank Transfers (SEPA & SWIFT), Wire, and P2P with multiple options (Revolut, Wise, BBVA, Skrill, etc).
Step 1: Next to Gate.io logo hover over Buy Crypto and select Credit Card payment method for instant purchases.
Step 2: Enter your fiat currency amount in the Buy With Fiat Currencies box, and then pick USDT in the Currency Purchased box. Choose your selected service provider, check the disclaimer box, and then press the “Purchase” button.
Step 3: You will be taken to the service provider’s website, where you will enter your information and make the purchase.
Step 4: That’s it! You have purchased USDT!
STEP 3 – Buy Senate Dao Heroes coin on GATE.IO
Gate.io provides a trading platform for both beginners (standard) and experienced (professional) traders. If you are a beginner, the standard option will be easier to understand.
Step 1: At Gate.io exchange, hover over Trade > Spot Trading and select Standard
Step 2: On the search bar look for Sidus, and click on SENATE_USDT
Step 3: Below the chart is the Spot Trading panel with multiple order options (Limit Order, Grid Trading, and Time Condition).To purchase SENATE Token, first select the Last Price (the top number on the order book sell-side, in red).
Step 4: Then click the “down arrow” above the Buy (USDT – SIDUS) button and enter the percentage of your USDT account balance that you are comfortable investing/trading. When you’re ready, press the “Buy button (USDT -> SENATE)” and “confirm your order.”
Note: Simply put, a Limit order allows you to place an order at a specific price or better to set better entries and take-profit targets. By selecting the last price (sell-side) in the Order Book, you are informing the broker that you will not pay a price greater than the last ask (offer) price.
Furthermore, because it is in the Order Book, you may be certain that someone is willing to sell SENATE at that price. However, because you have placed a limit order, if the order book finds a better (cheaper) price, your order will be executed at that price (as often happens).
STEP 1 – Sign UP For MEXC Global
Launched in 2018 in Seychelles, MEXC global is a well-established and reputable cryptocurrency exchange that ranks among the top 15 global exchanges. MEXC Global has met all regulatory requirements and holds licenses in the United States, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and other countries.

Step 1: Next to MEXC Global logo hover over Buy Crypto and click “Third-party payment.”
Step 2: Enter your fiat currency amount in the Pay box. Pick ETH in the Get box. Choose your selected service provider, and press the “Buy ETH” button.
Step 3: You will be taken to the service provider’s website, where you will enter your information and make the purchase.
Step 4: That’s it! You have purchased ETH!
Note: You can deposit fiat currency into your account using the global bank transfer option (SWIFT/Wire Transfer). This option is cheaper but slower (it may take a few days), and requires advanced KYC identification. For faster and more efficient transactions we recommend choosing a third-party supplier that accepts both credit/debit cards as well as local and international bank transfers (e.g., Simplex).
Note: After you’ve bought ETH move to the Uniswap Tab
If you want to use a decentralized exchange (DEX), the process is a little more complicated. DON’T Worry, we’ve broken everything down for you step by step below.
Uniswap
UniSwap is the most popular decentralized exchange native to the Ethereum Blockchain. It uses a trading model called automated liquidity protocol (instead of order books). On Uniswap, you can earn passive income depositing crypto into a liquidity pool (yield farming), provide liquidity to a DeFi protocol (liquidity mining), and pledging your coins to support a PoS blockchain (staking).
Uniswap, unlike centralized exchanges (CEX), does not hold user funds. So, the first thing you’ll need is a cryptocurrency wallet.
There are two types of crypto wallets:
- Software (Online) Wallets: Software wallets are connected to the internet and are useful to move funds quickly. We recommend Metamask (browser) or Trust Wallet (mobile).
- Hardware (Offline) Wallets: Hardware wallets are the most secure way to store your coins and keep them away from hackers. The best hardware wallets for storing GQ tokens are Ellipal Titan, SafePal, and Ledger Nano X (see Step 4).
We will go over the steps for Metamask, one of the most popular software wallets. Remember to keep your coins safe with a cold (offline) hardware wallet.
Step 0: To get started, please install the Metamask Wallet extension (Chrome Web Store); the iOS app (app store), or android app (google play). The application is completely free.
Step 1: Click on the app extension (fox symbol) first and click on “get started”
Step 2: Click on “Create a Wallet”
Step 3: Click on “No thanks” or “I agree.” This is all up to you.
Step 4: Create a password, confirm it, tick the box that says “I have read and agree to the Terms of Use” and click on “create.”
Step 5: Watch the video about your Secret Recovery Phrase and click on “next.”
Step 6: Securely back up your 12-word recovery phrase (seed phrase). Keep it safe on a password manager or old pen and paper as Metamask cannot recover this phrase for you. After that click on “next.”
Step 7: Confirm your secret recovery phrase (in order) and click on “confirm.”
Step 8: Congratulations! You are set!
STEP 2: Buy & Transfer ETH
STEP 1: Ensure Ethereum Mainnet is selected. You must add the token Sidus Heroes (SENATE).
STEP 2: On the initial screen go to import tokens. Enter the following addresses under the contract token address:
Sidus Heroes(SIDUS): 0x34Be5b8C30eE4fDe069DC878989686aBE9884470
When you click “add custom token” and “import token”, SENATE DAO token will be displayed on your wallet.
STEP 3: It is time to buy ETH. You can use a non-custodial exchange like Changelly and follow this link to purchase ETH. No KYC is needed, just your wallet address*.
*In Metamask, the wallet address is under your account name (initial page). Easy, RIGHT?
Or you can sign up to MEXC or Binance (Non-US). To buy ETH, follow these steps:
- MEXC: Buy Crypto > third-party > enter fiat currency amount in the Pay box > Pick ETH in the Get box > Choose service provider > Press “Buy ETH” button.
- Binance: Go to buy crypto > click on debit/credit card > Select ETH (on receive box) > select fiat currency and amount > Add new card > click on continue
If you use MEXC or Binance please withdraw your ETH to your Metamask wallet. Follow the steps below:
- MEXC: Go to Overview (profile) > search for ETH > Click on Withdraw > Input Metamask wallet address > Withdrawal network (ERC20) > Choose amount > Click “Submit.”
- Binance: Go to wallet > fiat & spot > Next to BNB click on Withdraw > input metamask wallet > select Ethereum (ERC-20) > withdrawal amount > Click Withdraw
Tada! Your ETH is now ready to be traded into SENATE in your wallet!
STEP 3: Connect Metamask Wallet to UniSwap
This step is crucial! Scammers use fake websites to steal your coins. Before connecting your wallet, make sure you’re on the official DEX website, or you risk losing your funds. Never share your seed phrases or private keys with anyone! Keep your coins safe with a cold/hardware wallet! You may potentially receive “spam tokens” in your wallet. Do not transact with such tokens, or you risk having your wallet compromised (aka hacked).
Connecting your Metamask Wallet to Uniswap is simple. Click on “Connect Wallet” in the upper right corner, then select Metamask Wallet from the list. Enter your Metmask password and unlock your wallet. Once you are in, select the account (s) to use on this site, click on “Next” and “Connect.”
STEP 4: How to buy Buy Senate DAO heroes coin on Uniswap
Step 1: Ensure you are on “Swap.”
Step 2: In the Swap Box, select ETH and search for SENATE. You will need to import SIDUS (via coinmarketcap, ensure is the right token address). Click on “Import.”
Step 3: Enter the right amount of ETH you wish to swap for SENATE and click “Swap” then “confirm Swap”.
Voilà! Your SENATE DAO token just arrived on your Metamask Wallet!
Alternative SIDUS Exchanges
AscendEX (BitMax)
AscendEX (formerly BitMax) is a cryptocurrency exchange based in Singapore that was formed by a group of Wall Street quant veterans.
It offers fiat-to-crypto purchases, spot (cash), margin, futures, copy trading as well as staking and DeFi yield farming. However, AscendEX charges higher fees for altcoins than the market average. KYC is necessary for fiat-to-crypto purchases.
Alternative Custodial Fiat-To-Crypto Exchanges (CEX)
CEX.IO (US & NON-US)
CEX.io is a new addition to the list of US-compliant cryptocurrency exchanges. CEX.IO was founded in London in 2014 and supports a large number of cryptocurrencies. CEX.IO has a reputation for good customer service (4.7/5 on trust pilot) and smooth user experience. Also provides competitive trading fees (0.25%).
CEX.IO provides instant fiat-to-crypto transfers via credit card, debit card, SEPA transfer, ACH, and wire transfer, as well as two trading platforms aimed at beginners and seasoned traders. Identity verification (KYC) is required, however, the process is straightforward and verification happens practically instantly.
Non-Custodial Fiat-to-Crypto Exchanges
Another option is to use a non-custodial exchange (the exchange does not hold your private key or “password”). If you use a centralized exchange (CEX) like Gate.io, you will need to transfer that money to your custodial (exchange wallet).
If you want to use a DEX like Uniswap, however, you will need a cryptocurrency wallet (non-custodial wallet) like Metamask to access your funds.
This method requires no registration or KYC and is usually more convenient, but slightly more expensive.
Changelly
Changelly is a popular and well-established fiat-to-crypto exchange with the mission of making the exchange process simple for everyone. Changelly has been in operation since 2015 and provides the ability to buy crypto with fiat currency as well as exchange Bitcoin and 200+ altcoins in a fast, simple and secure way.

3. STEP 4 – Keep your SENATE DAO SAFE
Have you heard about Lehman Brothers, Celsius, Voyager, and BlockFi?
What about the most recent? FTX exchange collapse (the next “big short movie?”)
We are talking about people losing retirement savings. People losing pensions. People losing homes. People losing health. People losing faith. People going bankrupt.
Crypto was invented to mitigate these risks (counterparty risk).
Centralized Exchanges (CEX) are the most convenient option for newcomers, but they are also the least secure for keeping your coins safe (you are injecting counterparty risk).
Centralized solutions suffer from corruption, mismanagement, censorship, and fragility (target for both hackers and government litigations).
There is a mantra in the crypto world: “Not your keys, Not your coins.”
Once you’ve bought your SENATE crypto coin from the chosen exchange, be sure to transfer it to your personal crypto wallet. The safest option is a cold/hardware wallet.
