I’ve been deeply indulging in all things Metaverse for the last few months.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/em><\/p>\n

I recently co-founded a Future Tech blog. And I’m trying to dive deep into the Metaverse bubble – which seems pretty fascinating.<\/p>\n

I also became interested in finding blockchain projects linked to Metaverse.<\/p>\n

And one of the tokens that caught my attention was Star Atlas. A blockchain-based Metaverse video game developed on Solana blockchain.<\/p>\n

Before moving on, take a tour of Star Atlas here<\/a>. You’ll have a better idea of what it is, and why I’m so interested in it.<\/p>\n

I immediately wanted to own some, since SOL is my favorite altcoin (SOL is a coin, and Solana is the blockchain).<\/p>\n

I mentioned it in my article on top altcoins<\/a> you should have in your portfolio before it rose to its ATH. And a blockchain like Solana will continue to outperform other ETH competitors.<\/p>\n

Star Atlas being a metaverse game, using Solana<\/a> blockchain and their roadmap for future development being so definitive makes it an instant hit in my eyes.<\/p>\n

So I went on to buy some.<\/p>\n

I thought I’d make a tutorial on how to buy Star Atlas (ATLAS) tokens from India. Since you won’t find it listed on Exchanges like WazirX and Vauld.<\/p>\n

Star Atlas isn’t available on Binance, which is the primary crypto exchange<\/a> I use.<\/p>\n

However, it is available on the FTX exchange.<\/p>\n

FTX is one of the biggest crypto exchanges to buy newly launched crypto tokens and coins.<\/p>\n

However, the main purpose people use FTX for is trading leveraged tokens and services. You get pretty high margins and a multitude of derivatives (meaning more risky and rewarding) to trade. Think of FTX as Binance options on steroids.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

FTX is much more active with their support. Their security protocols are updated more often compared to Binance, and they keep adding new tokens at a faster pace.<\/p>\n

So overall, I consider FTX as the best way to buy any token that isn’t available on Binance.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to buy Star Atlas (ATLAS)<\/strong> token from the FTX exchange in India.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Sign up for FTX<\/h2>\n

The first step is to create an FTX account. If you don’t have one, head over to the FTX crypto exchange<\/a> and create an account.<\/p>\n

It’s free and doesn’t take much time to get your account activated.<\/p>\n

Once your FTX account is activated, move on to the second step.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Deposit USD to Your FTX Wallet<\/h2>\n

Right now, you can only trade ATLAS for USD.<\/p>\n

There is no opposition to trade atlas for USDT or any other token.<\/p>\n

So we need to deposit USD in our FTX wallet.<\/p>\n

I recommend two options to deposit USD in your FTX wallet.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Through an Indusind or Deutsche bank debit card or a neobank<\/a> debit card – Fi.Money<\/a> or Jupiter.Money<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Trading USDT or USD on FTX<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you wish to go ahead with the first method, which is to use a card to directly deposit USD in your FTX wallet, I recommend using an Indusind bank card – since it works perfectly fine.<\/p>\n

    To deposit USD using your bank credit\/debit card, log in to your FTX account and click on the wallet. The select card deposit.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Enter your card details and wait for a few minutes until it gets approved. Then proceed to deposit by following the same process once again.<\/p>\n

    It should look something like this once your card is approved:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Debit cards by Fi and Jupiter are issued by Federal Bank, which gets filtered by the risk parameters pretty easily.<\/p>\n

    I do not recommend using your primary bank card – just for security reasons. Instead, use a secondary bank. In my case, I conduct all tests using my IndusInd account. Which has no use but to use it as a payment tool in tutorials like this.<\/p>\n

    You should begin depositing small amounts, equivalent to $50 per hour. If you deposit a large sum at once, the chances of your bank blocking your card for all FTX transactions are high.<\/p>\n

    \n

    I would not recommend using the second method – trading USDT for USD on FTX and then trading ATLAS for USD.<\/p>\n

    To do this, you need to buy USDT tokens. And then transfer these tokens to your FTX wallet, which will incur a lot of fees. Much higher than what you’ll pay as a conversion fee when you deposit Fiat USD.<\/p>\n

    Go to Vauld<\/a> and buy the required USDT tokens. This should be equivalent to the amount you wish to trade ATLAS for.<\/p>\n

    Alternatively, you can also use WazirX<\/a> to buy USDT.<\/p>\n

    However, you will get better rates with Vauld plus they charge about $12 as a network fee. Which compared to WazirX’s fee of $50 is super low.<\/p>\n

    Once you’ve purchased USDT from Vauld, you need to transfer it to your FTX wallet.<\/p>\n

    Login to your FTX account, click on the wallet link and then click on crypto.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Then scroll down and select USDT. Click on the Deposit button and copy the wallet address.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Go back to your Vauld account and click on Profile, then click on Settings.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Add the address you’ve copied from FTX to your Vauld safelist.<\/p>\n

    It will take 24 hours before you can withdraw any funds to this address. I highly recommend keeping safelists enabled.<\/p>\n

    Once 24 hours have passed and your FTX USDT wallet address is verified, initiate the transfer from Vauld.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    To do that, go to your Vauld wallet and select USDT. Click on send and select the FTX wallet address.<\/p>\n

    It should take under 10 minutes for this transfer from Vauld to FTX to complete.<\/p>\n

    Once the transfer is complete, you will see the available USDT balance in your FTX account:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Moving on to the final step.<\/p>\n

    Step 3: Trade ATLAS for USD<\/h2>\n

    Go to your FTX dashboard.<\/p>\n

    Click on the search bar and enter ATLAS.<\/p>\n

    Then proceed to trade ATLAS for USD by placing an order on the spot exchange.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    That’s it! – you now own Star Atlas (ATLAS) token.<\/p>\n

    If you have USDT balance available, you can simply convert it to ATLAS in one click.<\/p>\n

    Go to your FTX wallet and scroll down to find USDT. Click on the convert button next to it.<\/p>\n

    Proceed\u00a0to convert USDT to ATLAS – without having to pay any fees.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    That’s it. You now know how to buy Star Atlas tokens from India.<\/p>\n

    This method applies to anyone looking to buy the ATLAS token. It’s just that it’s specifically tailored for Indian audiences.<\/p>\n
