To start playing Star Atlas, especially in browser-based experiences like SAGE Labs, you'll need a small amount of SOL (Solana) in your wallet to pay for transaction fees.
Whether you’re brand new to crypto or already familiar with other blockchains, this guide will walk you through two ways to add SOL to your wallet.
Option 1: Buy SOL on a Centralized Exchange (CEX)
You can purchase SOL using a credit card or bank transfer on a major centralized exchange (CEX), then send the tokens to your Solana wallet.
Popular CEXs that support SOL:
Kraken, OKX, Bybit, and many more...
Steps:
Sign up and verify your identity (KYC) on your chosen exchange.
Buy SOL using your preferred payment method.
Go to your Solana wallet (e.g. Phantom, Backpack, Solflare).
Copy your wallet address.
Withdraw SOL from the exchange to your wallet address.
📌 Make sure to double-check that you're using a Solana-compatible wallet address.
Option 2: Buy SOL Directly with a Credit Card via Topper
If you don’t want to register on an exchange, you can buy SOL directly with a credit or debit card using Topper, which is integrated into the Star Atlas website.
How to Use Topper:
Visit play.staratlas.com and connect your wallet.
Click the wallet icon in the bottom left.
Scroll to Manage your wallet’s fund.
-
Click Launch next to Topper.
A popup will appear. Then:
Select your currency (USD, EUR, etc.).
Choose SOL as the token you want to receive.
Enter the amount you want to spend.
Sign in or create an account with Uphold.
Complete identity verification (KYC).
Add your card and confirm your purchase.
Once completed, the SOL will be sent directly to your wallet.
