SidusPad is a legendary launchpad designed for early access to exclusive Web3 projects. The platform launch will go through several steps: 1. Launch of Staking pools 2. Introduction to KYC procedure 3. Access to Web3 project IDOs and Referral Program **SidusPad Features:** * Access to exclusive Token Sales & Events * SIDUS rewards for Staking * An all-in-one platform for managing your investments * A multi-level Referral Program * Access to decentralized Governance ### How to Join {% embed url="" %} To become a member of the SidusPad community, just complete the following steps: 1\. Go to SidusPad using *a referral link* (or [without one](https://www.siduspad.io/)) and create an Account. 2\. Enter your email, create a strong password, select your country of residence, then accept the Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy. Carefully read the [Terms & Conditions](https://wiki.siduspad.io/legal-documents/token-sale-terms-and-condtions) to ensure that you can participate in the IDOs.
3\. Enter the code sent to your email. 4\. You will be redirected to your Profile - we recommend starting with Identity Verification. Read the full guide [here](/welcome-to-siduspad/kyc-guide). 5\. Once you’ve completed identity verification, you can explore the launchpad or claim your referral bonus. 6\. On the main page, you can learn more about SidusPad and its featured IDOs.
7\. If you opt for the referral bonus, go to the Referral Program page via ‘My Profile’.
8\. You will need to stake at least 10,000 SIDUS tokens (Amethyst Tier) to get your referral bonus.
9\. First, get some SIDUS tokens onto the Ethereum or Linea networks, choosing according to your preferences: 1. Buy SIDUS tokens on [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/swap?outputCurrency=0x549020a9cb845220d66d3e9c6d9f9ef61c981102), [KuCoin](https://www.kucoin.com/ru/trade/SIDUS-USDT), [AscendEX](https://ascendex.com/en/cashtrade-spottrading/usdt/sidus), [CoinDCX](https://coindcx.com/trade/SIDUSINR), [Gate.io](https://www.gate.io/ru/trade/SIDUS_USDT) or [ByBit](https://www.bybit.com/en/trade/spot/SIDUS/USDT). 2. If you bought SIDUS on the aforementioned exchanges and wish to stake on Linea, you can choose to transfer them to Linea via [Sidus Bridge](https://play.sidusheroes.com/swap/). Or, you can buy SIDUS tokens on Linea via [PancakeSwap](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap?outputCurrency=0xD96536B77aE5500fE850Add2253bcf640e7824c1\&chain=linea). 10\. Stake SIDUS tokens in one of our [Staking pools](https://www.siduspad.io/staking). To increase your Tier, deposit the corresponding staking requirement. 11\. Select the pool, enter the amount of SIDUS you want to stake, then confirm the transaction - ETH is required to pay the fees.
12\. Once the transaction is approved, your SIDUS will be added to the pool and your current Tier will be displayed in your Account. 13\. If you used a referral link to create your Account, you can now claim your bonus - visit the Referral Program page and select ‘Referral Bonus’. 14\. Scroll right to view your bonus and click on ‘Claim Reward’.
15\. You can always find more information about the Referral System [here](/welcome-to-siduspad/referral-system-guide). ### Staking Pools
{% hint style="info" %} **Note:** \*The SidusPad Team reserves the right to increase the pool's capitalization if required. \*\*NFT boost feature will be launched soon. {% endhint %} ### Staking Video Guide {% embed url="" %} ### Tier Boost This unique feature increases your current Tier level and thus future IDO allocations by the exact percentage defined by each new Staking pool. For instance, if you stake 20,000 SIDUS tokens in the Annual Pool, you'll join the Topaz Tier and not the Amethyst Tier. This is because you will receive a 50% “Tier Boost” bonus, making your ‘staking amount’ count as 30,000 SIDUS - which is the minimum staking requirement for the Topaz Tier. Please Note: Tier Boost does not affect your APY. ### Bounties SidusPad utilizes compound interest to calculate the rewards for Staking. For instance, the Exclusive pool's base APR is 20%, but the anticipated APY is approximately 22.13%. Users can earn Bounties and increase the base APR through reinvestment. **How it works:** 1. 0.25% of the total accrued pool rewards are available to be claimed as Bounties. 2. Any user can claim this bonus at any time. 3. The remaining 99.75% of the rewards are added to the Staking pool. 4. Subsequent rewards will be based on the new total. 5. Only the Bounty can be claimed by the user, whereas the Staking reward becomes available only when the term ends. ### Tiers There are six tiers catering to all needs. To access IDOs, users must unlock at least the Amethyst tier by staking SIDUS tokens. Each subsequent tier provides additional benefits, such as increased IDO allocations and even access to exclusive events. To join the SidusPad community – Create an account > Connect your MetaMask > Stake SIDUS! Once these three simple steps are complete, you’ll have access to the most anticipated Web3 IDOs!
*** We’re introducing early staking for true believers, enabling them to secure allocations for upcoming IDOs. Join our social media channels for more details: * [Twitter](https://twitter.com/siduspad) * [Telegram](https://t.me/siduspad) * [Telegram chat](https://t.me/siduspad_chat) * [Medium](https://medium.com/siduspad) * [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/siduspad/) * [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@siduspad) The launchpad team is actively negotiating with potential projects. We kindly ask for your patience – so stay tuned for more exciting news! The SidusPad Team # Staking Guide Staking on SidusPad allows users to earn passive income, i.e. regular rewards, without actively trading or managing the locked sum. It also offers lower risk compared to trading. However, most importantly, Staking on SidusPad allows users to participate in IDOs and other events on the Launchpad. Based on the staked amount, each user is assigned a Tier. There are six Tiers in total, each with its minimal staking requirement.
The Top 3 Tiers, i.e., Ruby, Emerald, and Diamond, give access to exclusive opportunities, such as participation in Private Rounds as well as the Guaranteed Allocation events, higher IDO allocations, etc. Watch the SIDUS Staking Video Guide for an easy step-by-step. {% embed url="" %} #### Staking Pools There are several SIDUS Staking pools currently available.
As seen in the table above, most are active on both Linea and Ethereum, offering users the flexibility to choose their preferred network. While Linea offers lower gas fees, as well as higher transaction throughput, Ethereum boasts wider adoption and higher liquidity. #### Tier Boost The Tier Boost is a unique feature that increases your current Tier level and, by extension, future IDO allocations by the exact percentage defined by each new Staking pool. For instance, if you stake 20,000 SIDUS tokens in the Annual Pool, you'll automatically qualify for the Topaz Tier and not the Amethyst Tier, despite the 30,000 SIDUS threshold due to receiving a 50% “Tier Boost” bonus. Your 20,000 SIDUS Staking amount will count as 30,000 SIDUS - which is the minimum staking requirement for the Topaz Tier. Thus, the feature gives users the unique opportunity to qualify for events accessible to the Top 3 Tiers, while staking a smaller sum. {% hint style="info" %} Please Note: The Tier Boost feature **does not affect your APR**. {% endhint %} # KYC Guide

SIDUS tokens are a pivotal component of the SidusPad Staking pools operating on Linea. This guide will explain how and where you can purchase SIDUS tokens and how to transfer them onto the Linea network. ### About SIDUS token SIDUS serves as a comprehensive utility token for the entire Sidus Ecosystem and it is integral to numerous in-game and out-of-game services embedded within the metaverse’s overarching economic model. Users have the unique opportunity to receive guaranteed allocations by staking SIDUS in SidusPad’s staking pools. ### How to prepare for SIDUS Staking If you find yourself with an empty wallet and no ETH for gas fees on the Linea network: 1. Purchase ETH on an exchange and transfer it to your wallet on the Linea network. Check out the list of compatible exchanges and wallets that work with Linea: * [CEX](https://linea.build/apps?types=cex) * [Wallets](https://linea.build/apps?types=wallet) 2. Buy SIDUS on Linea via [PancakeSwap](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap?outputCurrency=0xD96536B77aE5500fE850Add2253bcf640e7824c1\&chain=linea) - this is the most cost-effective option. 3. Alternatively, purchase SIDUS on any of the following exchanges and transfer it to your MetaMask wallet: * [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/swap?inputCurrency=0x549020a9cb845220d66d3e9c6d9f9ef61c981102\&outputCurrency=ETH) * [KuCoin](https://www.kucoin.com/trade/SIDUS-USDT?rcode=e21sNJ) * [Gate.io](https://www.gate.io/trade/SIDUS_USDT) * [ByBit](https://www.bybit.com/en-US/trade/spot/SIDUS/USDT?affiliate_id=9763) 4. Transfer SIDUS to Linea via the [Sidus Bridge](https://play.sidusheroes.com/swap/). {% embed url="" %} Alternative Bridges: * * * {% hint style="info" %} Due to high gas fees on the Ethereum network, we recommend purchasing SIDUS directly on Linea. {% endhint %} If you already have ETH on Linea: 1. Purchase tokens using the addresses on [PancakeSwap](https://pancakeswap.finance/swap?outputCurrency=0xD96536B77aE5500fE850Add2253bcf640e7824c1\&chain=linea). 2.

Read this article to learn how IDO Allocations are distributed on SidusPad and how it relates to each user’s stake. SidusPad's primary advantage lies in its transparent and fair Allocation distribution system, which directly correlates to the amount of tokens you stake. We employ a linear system whereby Allocations depend on two factors: 1. The user's total staking amount (all pools) 2. The total allocation for the particular IDO event Essentially, the Allocation percentage reflects the user's contribution to the pools. #### Example: 1. The total amount staked across all pools is $300,000. 2. Suppose a user stakes $500. 3. That user is entitled to claim 0.167% of the Overall Allocation. 4. If the Overall Allocation amounts to $500,000, the user would receive an Allocation of $833.34. *\* This rule applies on the condition that everyone who staked has registered on the IDO.* {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** The Allocation percentage is dynamic and subject to change, depending on the number of Staking pool participants. If new users join the Staking, the Allocation percentage decreases accordingly. However, you can always increase your Allocation percentage by increasing the amount you stake. {% endhint %} By adhering to a transparent and equitable Allocation system, SidusPad aims to foster a fair and inclusive environment for all IDO participants. # Referral System Guide
In this intuitive guide, we’ll explore SidusPad’s Referral Program, which offers exciting benefits for both Referrers and Referrals. By participating, you stand to earn up to 1,000 SIDUS tokens each, with the minimum staking requirement starting at 10,000 SIDUS! Let’s dive into it! ### How It Works 1\. Get Your Unique Referral Link: * Go to the “Gift icon” in the top menu. * Start by obtaining your unique referral link from your SidusPad account.
2\. Complete KYC: Ensure that both you (the Referrer) and your Referral complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) process. This step is crucial for security and compliance purposes. 3\. Stake a Minimum of 10,000 SIDUS Tokens: Your Referral needs to stake a minimum of 10,000 SIDUS tokens to qualify for the referral bonus. 4\. Receive Your Reward: Once your Referral has completed the KYC and staking requirements, both you and your Referral will receive the corresponding reward, based on the Tier achieved.
#### Example Let's say your Referral enters the Amethyst Tier. In this case: * 250 SIDUS tokens will be awarded to you (the Referrer). * 250 SIDUS tokens will also be awarded to your friend (the Referral). Both the Referrer and Referral receive rewards in accordance with the Tier achieved by the Referral in Metamask wallet. {% hint style="info" %} **NOTE!** The Referrer can only claim their bonus after the Referral has claimed their bonus to their wallet. Before that happens, the Referral can (if they wish) increase their current Tier by staking a larger amount of SIDUS tokens, thus increasing the bonus size. Once the current bonus is withdrawn, it is impossible to increase it further. {% endhint %} Invite your friends, colleagues and acquaintances to participate in SidusPad's Referral Program. The more referrals you bring, the more bonuses you’ll earn for yourself and your friends. Join now and start earning generous rewards with SidusPad! # Refund Policy ### SidusPad Refund Policy Overview At SidusPad, protecting user’s investments and ensuring token sale transparency is paramount. To help bring that vision to life, we have implemented a comprehensive refund policy for users on SidusPad. Transparency within the Web3 domain and for investors’ well-being are a priority for SidusPad, which is reflected in our refund policy. By leveraging innovative smart contract technology, we believe the policy will increase protection for our users and foster their trust, helping both investors and projects on our platform flourish and succeed over time. ### Refund Eligibility Each project raise is subject to a **Grace Period**, which will commence on the token's market debut and end at the nominated time as stated on the project’s listing page. During the Grace Period, users have the option to either claim their tokens or submit a refund request. If an eligible user opts for a refund, SidusPad will return up to 100% of their investment, depending on that particular user’s Tier. The refund period is only available to users during the Grace Period and once a user claims the particular tokens, a user will no longer be eligible for any refund. ### FAQ for SidusPad Refund Policy Procedure
What is the Grace Period? The Grace Period is a set time period that commences when the token is first listed and ends at the conclusion of the set period stipulated on the project’s listing page. During this time, users have the option to either claim their tokens or request a refund. The length of the Grace Period varies for each project and depends on a number of factors. These factors include the vesting period duration, the project’s funding stage and other bespoke details negotiated on a project-by-project basis.
Am I eligible for a refund if I have claimed my tokens? No, if you collect or claim your tokens during the Grace Period, you will no longer be eligible for a refund.
What does the decentralized Refund Policy aim to achieve? The main goal of SidusPad's decentralized Refund Policy is to empower our users, whilst maximizing our security and protection measures. The platform promotes transparency and fosters continuous success for its projects and investors.
Does the refund policy apply to all projects on SidusPad? No, the refund policy is only applicable to certain projects. Each eligible project will be marked with a special icon that also outlines the Grace Period for each project.
# DAO Voting
## **Community Governance: Take charge of key decision-making and help shape SidusPad.** SidusPad was born with an overarching goal to bring the most interesting projects, with great potential, to the IDO. With a strong emphasis of empowering our community, we encourage you to hand-pick projects for the IDO, making this selection process both transparent and fair. Any projects seeking to conduct an IDO on SidusPad are vetted and must pass our preliminary checks and analysis. If the project is successful in stage 1, they are presented for the second stage of selection — the DAO Vote conducted by the community. Projects conducting private rounds on the SidusPad platform do not participate in DAO voting. Community members will be able to vote for a project over the course of 24 hours using their Senate tokens. In order to make an informed decision, the community will have the opportunity to study the project, read our analysis and make their choice. If the project is approved by a majority vote, it moves to the third stage, which is the IDO itself. {% hint style="info" %} Please note that in order to participate in the vote, you must have **a minimum of 100 Senate tokens** in your Metamask wallet (ERC-20 Network) prior to casting your vote. {% endhint %} You can purchase the tokens here: * [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/tokens/ethereum/0x34be5b8c30ee4fde069dc878989686abe9884470) * [Gate.io](https://www.gate.io/trade/SENATE_USDT) - Senate/USDT pair * [Bitfinex](https://trading.bitfinex.com/t/SENATE:USD?type=exchange) - Senate/USD pair Join DAO Voting: {% hint style="info" %} 🔒 **Snapshot Block Number:** *Your voting power will be based on the latest block synced from the node at the moment the proposal is created. Tokens acquired after the proposal‘s creation won't count towards your voting power. You will be able to change your vote while the voting period is ongoing.* {% endhint %} # FAQ
How do I participate in the IDO on SidusPad? In order to participate in the IDO, you must stake at least 10,000 Sidus tokens and undergo a mandatory KYC procedure (which will be released at a later point in time).
How do I increase my allocation amount for the IDO? The allocation amount is dependent on the amount you stake - the bigger the stake, the bigger your allocation will be.
What are ‘Tiers’ and what benefits do they offer? Tiers offer users flexibility. There are a total of 6 Tiers available, with each Tier being suited to various staking amounts, for example, a high Tier is appropriate for those seeking a higher allocation amount. Participants who chose the Ruby, Emerald or Diamond Tiers also have the opportunity to participate in exclusive events held on the SidusPad.
Can I raise my Tier during the IDO registration? Your allocation is fixed at the time of registration. If you want to raise your Tier or increase your staking amount within yout Tier during the registration period and after the registration for IDO, you need to stake the desired amount of SIDUS tokens and register again for the IDO. Then your allocation will be increased.
Can I stake SIDUS tokens in multiple pools? Yes. Our smart contracts are truly smart. They calculate the total amount you stake in every pool to determine your Tier.
What happens if I add tokens to a pool that I’ve already made a stake in? Your rewards are compounded and the lock duration is reset for your entire stake.
How is the interest for Staking calculated? Each Staking pool has its own base APR, which can be increased through compound interest. Users can claim 0.25% of the accrued rewards as a Bounty, thereby initiating the process of reinvesting the rewards in the overall pool.
How do I complete verification (KYC) so I can participate in the IDO? Please check the [Terms and Conditions](/legal-documents/token-sale-terms-and-condtions) to make sure you are eligible to participate in the Token Sale IDO. Please, check our [KYC Guide](/welcome-to-siduspad/kyc-guide) for the details.
What is FCFS and who is eligible to participate? FCFS stands for “first come, first served,” an investment round that typically follows the Guaranteed Allocation Round in an IDO, and can be divided into two phases. The FCFS round is conducted with the remaining sum available after the Guaranteed Allocation Round is over. * All users who registered for the IDO are eligible to participate. * Users who were eligible to invest in the Guaranteed Allocation Round, but didn’t do so, still have the opportunity to invest that allocation sum during the FCFS Round. Moreover, they can still invest a similar percentage in this FCFS round again, giving them the chance to double their investment compared to what was originally possible in the Guaranteed Round. * Users who participated in the Guaranteed Allocation Round are also eligible for the FCFS Round with the same allocation percentage. \ * A second phase of an FCFS Round is possible if the allocation was not sold out during the first phase. Much like FCFS Round #1, all users registered for the IDO are eligible to participate, with a possibility to increase their investment x10.

Upon acceptance of these Terms by you, either by acknowledgment and/or receipt of the Tokens, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and the Issuing Party, of which agreement these Terms form an integral part. You (hereinafter: the “**Participant**”) and the Issuing Party are hereinafter jointly referred to as: the “**Parties**”. ## RECITALS: A. The Issuing Party exploits a business that is engaged in the development of a blockchain-based project, which is further described on the Project Page as well as in the Issuing Party’s pitch deck, whitepaper, and/or other relevant Project documentation (whichever is applicable, hereinafter: the “**Project Documentation**”). B. Under and in connection with the Project, the Tokens are to be issued by the Issuing Party to participants and/or contributors and users of the Project. The Tokens will play a central role under and in connection with the Project and are envisaged to have the (future) functionalities as described on the Project Page as well as in the Project Documentation. C. Participant is interested in the Project and therefore wants to participate and obtain, interact with and/or use (in the widest sense) the Tokens, which can only and must at all times be done exclusively in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms. D. Participant realises that the Project is and can be very high-risk, which means that, among other things but not limited to that, there is a significant risk for Participant that the Tokens (in the end) will not represent any, or only very limited, actual monetary value, and that, in addition thereto, Participant specifically, but not limited to that: i. does not have any opportunity to acquire shares or similar (property and/or equity) rights in the Issuing Party’s capital; ii. will not receive any dividend in any form whatsoever; iii. will not obtain any control over or in the Issuing Party, or any other legal entity, in any form whatsoever; iv. is not entitled to any repayment with regard to the Tokens in any form whatsoever, unless stated otherwise in these Terms; v. is not entitled to any interest compensation in any form whatsoever; vi. is not entitled to any (property) right regarding the (intellectual property rights with regard to the) Project in any form whatsoever, while the Issuing Party will not provide the Project’s source code to Participant, in any form whatsoever; vii. realises that the Tokens may lose their value in part or in full; viii. realises that the Tokens may not always be transferable and/or exchangeable (e.g. to the extent that there is no buyer at hand); ix. realises that the Tokens may not be liquid; x. realises that these Terms do not constitute an offer or solicitation to sell financial instruments, whereas any such offer or solicitation to sell financial instruments can be made only by means of a prospectus or other offering documents pursuant to applicable law; xi. realises that multiple other parties will also obtain Tokens, which means that there is no exclusivity for Participant in any form whatsoever; xii. realises that the Project’s development is not yet finalised which means that the Project may be changed (for example the blockchain network on which it is based) and/or not be feasible for technical, economic, commercial or other reasons, in which case Participant does not have any right to compel the Issuing Party to continue developing the Project, and/or to compel the Issuing Party to carry out and/or to cause others to carry out any other action(s); xiii. realises that the Tokens have not been created and issued yet, which means it may be possible that the Tokens cannot (in practice) be issued and/or exchanged as a result of (changed) market conditions, (amended) legislation, (changed) points of view on the part of the regulators and/or for other reasons, so that it is not certain that Participant will actually obtain the Tokens. However, as stated in Article 4.1, the Issuing Party will use its best commercial efforts to provide, or cause to provide, that the Tokens will be created and be issued to Participant and other parties like Participant; and xiv. Participant is not entitled to personally or via (a) class action(s) hold the Issuing Party, its advisors, shareholders and/or its directors, liable for any damages arising out of any of these or the foregoing recitals, nor for any damages arising out of or in connection with (the execution of) these Terms as a whole and/or the Project. E. In order to illustrate the (technical) knowledge of Participant of the status and functioning of blockchain technology and the application thereof, Participant hereby acknowledges (that Participant realises and understands), amongst other things but not limited to, that: i. blockchain is a new and largely unregulated form of interaction and doing business. Many jurisdictions have not yet adopted their legal systems to this up and coming application of technology. As a result of this, upcoming changes in legal systems and/or other circumstances may result in substantial changes in the blockchain application and/or the (execution of the) Project, which in turn may lead to (the complete) loss of (the value of) the Tokens; ii. once the Tokens have been transferred by the Issuing Party, they are only accessible via a digital wallet. The wallet requires the means to store and access the private key. If either the private key or wallet is compromised this can result in the unrecoverable and permanent loss of the Tokens which are held in that wallet; and iii. blockchain and the (underlying) software(products) are currently in an early development-stage and have not been proven to be without error. Therefore, the Issuing Party cannot give Participant and other parties like Participant any warranties regarding the errorless and hack-free functioning and performance of the Issuing Party’s network, the Project and/or the blockchain(s) on which they are based. F. Participant realises and acknowledges that the Project is still in the process of development and this development has no fixed timeline or deadline. The Issuing Party is the sole representative of the Project. The issuing and distribution of the Tokens is planned on a best effort basis. Participant realises and acknowledges that digital tokens and other blockchain-related technologies are new and untested, and are thus inherently risky. The Issuing Party is not responsible for any non-performance resulting from adverse changes in market forces or the technology. In addition, Participant has been warned and understands amongst others, but not limited thereto, the following risks: i. legal risks regarding securities regulations; ii. risks associated with blockchain-related technologies; iii. risks of unfavourable regulatory actions; iv. risks of cyber theft and hacking; v. risks of security weakness of codes & software; vi. weaknesses of cryptography & mining attacks; vii. risk of loss of value of the Tokens; viii. the Issuing Party may not meet Participant’s expectations; ix. the Project may never be completed; x. regulatory risks associated with the Tokens and/or the Project; and/or xi. risks of losing any amounts invested in the Tokens. G. Participant realises and acknowledges that these Terms does not constitute an offer or invitation to subscribe for or to purchase any securities nor solicit any investment in any jurisdiction. Participant agrees to seek professional advice if he or she is in any doubt as to any aspect of these Terms. ## HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS: ### **1.** Interpretation 1.1.
