How to buy Pirate Nation (PIRATE)

How to buy Pirate Nation (PIRATE) safely

Pirate Nation (PIRATE) is a utility token for a fully onchain, free-to-play pirate-themed role-playing game (RPG) that operates on Ethereum and Proof of Play’s Apex chain. In the game, players build ships and assemble crews to explore the Infinite Isles. The token is used for community growth and various in-game activities.

Because PIRATE is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network, you must ensure your wallet and the exchange you use support this specific chain to avoid losing funds.

Where can you buy PIRATE?

You can access PIRATE through several centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX).

Centralized options include:

• Coinbase Exchange (PIRATE/USD)
• Bybit (PIRATE/USDT)
• Gate (PIRATE/USDT)
• Biconomy.com (PIRATE/USDT)
• BVOX (PIRATE/USDT)
• CoinUp.io (PIRATE/USDT)
• DigiFinex (PIRATE/USDT)
• Coins.ph (PIRATE/PHP)
• ChangeNOW (PIRATE/BTC)
• TRIV (PIRATE/USDT)

For those preferring decentralized routes, Uniswap offers pairs such as PIRATE/WETH and PIRATE/TrumpBucks on the Ethereum network.

Step-by-step buying checklist

To reduce the risk of errors, follow these steps before executing a trade.

1. Verify the contract address. The verified Ethereum address for PIRATE is 0x7613c48e0cd50e42dd9bf0f6c235063145f6f8dc. Always cross-reference this with the official Pirate Nation website or Etherscan.
2. Check regional availability. If using Bybit, note that it is banned in several countries, including the US, UK, Canada, and Russia.
3. Complete KYC. Some exchanges, such as Bybit, require identity verification before you can trade.
4. Set up a compatible wallet. Since PIRATE is an Ethereum-based token, you need a wallet that supports the Ethereum network.
5. Confirm the pair. Ensure you are trading the correct pair (e.g., PIRATE/USDT or PIRATE/WETH) to avoid unexpected conversion fees.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

Trading costs vary by platform. Bybit lists a trading fee of 0.1% for the PIRATE/USDT pair. Other exchange fees are not verified in this guide.

Liquidity and volume data are available for the routes listed above, but you should check the order book on the exchange immediately before trading to ensure your order does not cause significant price slippage.

Withdrawal and deposit support for these exchanges is not verified. You should check the exchange's current wallet status page to see if PIRATE deposits and withdrawals are active before sending funds.

Before buying: route and token risks

There are several risks to consider when acquiring PIRATE.

First, there is the risk of using a lookalike contract address. Scammers often create fake tokens with the same name. Only use the address verified in this guide.

Second, exchange features are not uniform. Just because an exchange lists a token does not mean it supports withdrawals to a private wallet. Verify this on the exchange's deposit/withdrawal page.

Third, regional restrictions apply. KYC requirements and account features vary by country, which may limit your ability to move funds.

Sources and methodology

Our routes are sourced exclusively from verified market-pair rows in our internal database. We use web research and official documentation, such as the Pirate Nation litepaper, for project context and risk analysis. Information from CoinMarketCap page scrapes is treated as low-confidence background context and is not used as proof of liquidity or contract safety. Live market values like price and 24h volume are omitted because they change too frequently to remain accurate in a static guide.
