How to buy Talus (US)

How to buy Talus (US) safely

Talus (US) is an infrastructure network designed to enable on-chain AI agents and verifiable automation. Launched in December 2025 by Talus Labs, Inc., the project uses the Sui Move stack to build the Nexus Protocol. This framework allows developers to create modular components called Talus Tools, which can be linked into workflows to let AI agents interact with on-chain data and off-chain inputs.

The native token, US, is used for workflow execution fees, staking in the Leader Network for off-chain computation, registering tools, and participating in governance.

Where can you buy US?

You can access US through several centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized options on the Sui Network.

Centralized exchanges with verified market pairs include:

• HTX (US/USDT)
• Gate (US/USDT)
• MEXC (US/USDT)
• Bitget (US/USDT)
• WEEX (US/USDT)
• KuCoin (US/USDT)
• Kraken (US/USD)
• Binance Alpha (US/USDT)

Other available CEX routes include SuperEx, XT.COM, Ourbit, BYDFi, Toobit, Bitunix, BloFin, BingX, CoinEx, KCEX, Phemex, CoinUp.io, Cofinex, Bitrue, and BitKan.

For those preferring decentralized trading, Cetus offers pools for US/USDC and US/SUI on the Sui Network.

Step-by-step buying checklist

To reduce the risk of errors, follow these steps when acquiring US:

1. Verify the contract address. The official address on the Sui Network is 0xee962a61432231c2ede6946515beb02290cb516ad087bb06a731e922b2a5f57a::us::US. Always cross-reference this with the official Talus website.
2. Select a verified route. Use one of the exchanges listed above. If using a CEX, check if your country is supported and if KYC is required.
3. Set up a compatible wallet. Since US operates on the Sui Network, you will need a wallet that supports Sui assets for self-custody.
4. Execute the trade. Swap your USDT, USD, or USDC for US based on the available pair on your chosen platform.
5. Secure your tokens. Transfer your US from the exchange to your private wallet to avoid exchange-side risks.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

Trading fees vary by platform. MEXC and WEEX both list 0% trading fees for the US/USDT pair, though you should verify this in the app before trading.

Liquidity and volume are present across most listed routes, but they differ significantly. For example, HTX and Cetus show higher activity compared to smaller exchanges like Bitrue.

Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for most routes. You must check the specific exchange's wallet page to ensure they currently allow the movement of US tokens on the Sui Network before depositing funds.

Before buying: route and token risks

Buying US involves specific risks you should consider:

• Contract risk: There is a risk of using lookalike contract addresses. Only use the address verified for the Sui Network.
• Network mismatch: Ensure you are using the Sui Network. Sending tokens to the wrong network will result in a permanent loss of funds.
• Withdrawal uncertainty: Because withdrawal support is not verified for all routes, you might find your tokens locked on an exchange if they disable withdrawals.
• Regional restrictions: Availability and KYC requirements change by country. For instance, WEEX and MEXC have specific banned countries, including the US and Canada.

Sources and methodology

This guide is based on verified market-pair data from our internal database and the CoinMarketCap API. We use web research and official project documentation from Talus Network for background and risk context.

Information from CoinMarketCap page scrapes is treated as low-confidence context. Live market values, such as current price and 24-hour volume, are omitted because they change too frequently to remain accurate in a static guide.
