# Key steps

Here’s a brief overview of the actions you need to take to obtain and pay for the allocation:

**Step 1. Buy MDAO and fund your wallet**

To obtain an allocation, you will need tickets, which can be acquired in several ways depending on the round—private or public: through staking, purchasing, or holding MDAO tokens.

To pay for the tickets, you will need USDT on the BNB Smart Chain in your [ZAVOD Wallet](https://t.me/mdaowalletbot?start=docsen).

➡️ [How to fund your ZAVOD Wallet](https://docs.daomars.com/f.a.q/zavod-wallet/wallet/deposits)

**Please note** that all transactions will also require a small amount of BNB (approximately 0.0003-0.0006 BNB per transaction).

**Step 2. Select a project and familiarize yourself with it**

In the preparation stage, [select a project](https://mdaomaker.com/projects) and familiarize yourself with the project, terms of participation and token allocation.

**Step 3. Select a round and obtain tickets for staking or holding MDAO.**

Determine which round you plan to participate in: [Private Round](https://docs.daomars.com/f.a.q/mdao-maker/private-round) and/or [Public Round](https://docs.daomars.com/f.a.q/mdao-maker/public-round). You can take part in both rounds consecutively. Obtain tickets during the distribution stage.

**Step 4. Pay for the allocation**

Pay for the obtained tickets using USDT BEP-20 (BNB Smart Chain) from your [ZAVOD Wallet](https://t.me/mdaowalletbot?start=docsen).

**Шаг 5. Receive your tokens**

Wait for the token distribution according to the vesting conditions to your [ZAVOD Wallet](https://t.me/mdaowalletbot?start=docsen).

You can now participate in the allocation in two ways, and the entire process will be described in detail in the [**following sections**](https://docs.daomars.com/f.a.q/mdao-maker/private-round)**.**
