SAITAMA is an ERC-20 token that started as a meme coin in 2021 and upgraded into a utility coin in June 2022. Like other ERC-20 tokens, the SAITAMA coin is created and hosted on the Ethereum blockchain, meaning it will eventually be part of it.   

To transform from the perception of being a meme coin, SAITAMA added a wide range of innovative Decentralized Finance (DeFi) features into its ecosystem. This action aligns with making meme coins more accessible and safer for generation Z.   

As a result, its platform (Saitama) comes loaded with unique features such as the ‘anti-whale’ that prevents established wallet holders from influencing the overall token prices or transactions.   

Let’s explore Saitama and how to buy it on different platforms.  

What is Saitama Inu? 

Saitama (SAITAMA) is a decentralized ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain designed to educate Generation Z on crypto investments. It was purposely created to inform users about blockchain technology, thus encouraging them to be part of the digital revolution.   

In other words, Saitama aims to make cryptocurrency adoption easy for all Generation Z members by providing them with a user-friendly experience.   

Unlike most platforms, the Saitaima platform offers 100% free services to its users while allowing them to earn passive income through email campaigns, social media, and content creation.    

SaitaPro plays a crucial role in the Saitama ecosystem, serving as its main utility. Moreover, its partnership with EpayMe further enhances its value proposition. 

According to CoinMarketCap, SAITAMA coins in circulation stand at over 38 billion. This is a considerable supply, given that the token started trading in June 2022.    

SAITAMA token has a deflationary burning mechanism that helps protect its value and reward long-term holders. In SaitaPro, they have implemented a 1% Burn Tax to ensure sustainable growth. A 1% Buy Back and Burn contribution further strengthens their commitment to supporting worthy projects. 

Besides, the SAITAMA coin is planned to be the primary medium of exchange for an upcoming marketplace where people can buy and sell NFTs. When people use SAITAMA coin to buy or sell NFTs on this marketplace, investors will earn a small percentage of the transaction fees.  

You can access the SAITAMA coin through some centralized and decentralized platforms.  

How to Buy SAITAMA on Binance 

Now that you know what Saitama is, let’s find out what Binance is and how to buy SAITAMA tokens.  

Binance is the biggest crypto exchange platform by market cap. But while it constantly reviews and adds cryptocurrencies that can be traded on its platform, the SAITAMA coin is yet to be listed. However, below is a step-by-step guide to purchasing SAITAMA by linking your digital crypto wallet to a decentralized exchange using your Binance account to buy the base currency, Ethereum.  

Download & Set Up MetaMask  

Although numerous decentralized, self-custodial, Ethereum-based digital wallets exist, MetaMask is the most trusted. Launched in 2016, MetaMask allows users to safely store, buy, convert, send, and swap crypto tokens. The MetaMask Wallet is a mobile application or browser extension on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Brave, or Opera. To install it on your browser, follow these steps (the browser we will use to illustrate is Brave, but the process is similar on all browsers on which MetaMask is available): 

1. Visit the MetaMask website and click the “Download” button.

Buy Ethereum (ETH) 

In order to convert ETH to SAITAMA, you obviously need to have ETH in your wallet. On MetaMask, you have two options: Either buy ETH directly from the platform or buy from a Crypto Exchange and then transfer it to your wallet.

Once you’ve decided, select the processor and move on. The process is simple and fast.
