Yes: QuanticData accepts more than 300 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and Monero, plus PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards, and its own prepaid balance. An ordinary order needs no identity documents, crypto included. Below: each method, its minimum, how fast the plan starts, and which one to pick.

**Run it on the free credit.** Every QuanticData account gets $2 of free API usage per month.

All four methods buy the same plans at the same checkout: [residential proxies](https://quanticdata.io/residential-proxies/), [mobile proxies](https://quanticdata.io/mobile-proxies/), [ISP proxies](https://quanticdata.io/isp-proxies/), datacenter and IPv6. The checkout shows the methods available at that moment; if one is switched off for a while, the others stay.

## Every way to pay, at a glance

| Method | What you pay with | Minimum | When the plan starts |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Balance | Prepaid credit, added by crypto, card or PayPal; it never expires | Top-ups from $5 to $10,000 each | In the same step as the purchase |
| Crypto | More than 300 coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT on any network the payment page lists (Tron TRC20 included), Monero and others | USDT from $11; other coins, the payment page's own minimum | When the network confirms the full amount |
| Card | Visa, Mastercard, American Express, through PayPal's card checkout | The plan's price | Seconds, or after a manual check if the payment is held |
| PayPal | Your PayPal account | The plan's price | Seconds, or after a manual check if the payment is held |

The delivery time of each method, and what every status on the Invoices page means, is in [how long it takes to get proxies after payment](https://quanticdata.io/blog/how-long-to-get-proxies-after-payment/).

## Paying with crypto: Bitcoin, USDT, Monero and 300+ coins

1. **Choose Crypto at checkout**, for a plan or for a balance top-up. The payment page opens with the total in dollars.
2. **Pick the coin and its network.** The page shows the exact amount of that coin to send and the address for that network.
3. **Send exactly that amount**, on the same network, from your wallet or exchange. If the exchange takes its withdrawal fee out of the amount, add the fee so the full amount arrives.
4. **Wait for the confirmations.** The payment page shows when the transaction is seen and when it is confirmed. Until then the order waits under Pending payments in the dashboard.
5. **Use the plan.** Once confirmed, the invoice says Paid, the plan is created in My proxies and a confirmation email follows.

### USDT on TRC20 and other networks

USDT is accepted on any network the payment page lists, Tron (TRC20) included; Tether itself issues USDT as a TRC20 token on Tron and as an ERC20 token on Ethereum, among other protocols. Pick the network in the payment page first and send on the same one. On Tron the network fee is paid in TRX: a USDT transfer is a smart contract call, and TRX is burned for the Energy and Bandwidth your account does not have, so keep a little TRX in a self-custody wallet. USDT is offered for payments of $11 or more; below that, pick another coin, or pay by card or PayPal.

### Monero and Bitcoin

Monero (XMR) is accepted like any other coin, and so is Bitcoin. Bitcoin confirms more slowly than stablecoins on Tron, so a Bitcoin order usually waits a little longer for its plan. A payment that arrives short, most often because an exchange took its fee out of it, does not activate the order: a ticket with both amounts opens by itself. The details are in [what happens if a crypto payment arrives short](https://quanticdata.io/blog/underpaid-crypto-payment/).

## Paying with PayPal or a card

Card payments run through PayPal's card checkout, so a card and a PayPal account work the same way. The card is tokenised and stored by the payment processor: we never see or store the full card number, and 3-D Secure applies where your bank requires it. After you approve the payment, it is usually confirmed in a few seconds and the plan is created at once.

Some payments are authorised instead of charged: the amount is held on your card or PayPal account and a person checks the order before activation. A first payment from a new account, an email that does not match, a security flag or a larger order can send a payment to this check. While it waits, the invoice row says In review, and you can pay the same order at once with crypto or with your balance: the hold is released first, so nothing is charged twice. A hold nobody has reviewed after 24 hours is settled automatically, either captured with the plan activated or released with nothing charged, and an email tells you which.

A saved card also makes repeat orders faster: one-click top-ups and, if you turn it on, auto-recharge, which adds credit when the balance falls below a threshold you choose. The [Billing Agreement](https://quanticdata.io/billing-agreement/) says exactly what saving a card authorises and how to revoke it.

**Try it on your own targets.** Every QuanticData account gets $2 of free API usage per month.

## Paying from the balance

The balance is prepaid credit for proxy plans and Data API usage. Add credit under Add credit in the dashboard by crypto, card or PayPal, from $5 to $10,000 per top-up; for larger amounts, contact support. A plan bought from the balance has no payment to confirm: it is created in the same step, and if the network refuses to create it, the amount goes straight back to the balance. Our terms state it as written: "unused balance does not expire but is not returned as cash".

The balance is also the method an AI agent can complete on its own: through the API, an agent can quote and buy a plan from the account balance in a checkout, while card, PayPal and crypto payments are finished by a person at the link the agent returns. The endpoints are described on [QuanticData for AI agents](https://quanticdata.io/for-agents/).

## Which method to pick

| If you want | Pay with | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The plan in the same step | Balance | No payment to confirm at purchase time |
| No card and no bank | Crypto | More than 300 coins, Monero included |
| A small order in USDT | Another coin, card or PayPal | USDT is offered from $11 |
| To pay without holding any crypto | Card or PayPal | Charged in seconds, or held for a check, never both |
| Repeat orders without a checkout each time | Saved card with auto-recharge | Credit is added when the balance runs low |
| An agent that buys by itself | Balance | The one method an agent completes through the API |

## Identity checks: what we ask, and when

An account needs a working email address. The free trial asks for an SMS code once. Card and PayPal payments are verified by the payment provider. Crypto payments settle through our payment processors and need no identity documents from us. More is asked only in specific cases our [KYC and sanctions policy](https://quanticdata.io/kyc/) lists: an order or top-up unusually large for a new account, signs of a stolen payment instrument, a use that needs an authorisation, an open abuse report or chargeback. Until such a check clears, the order stays pending and the money is not captured.

Every payment, whatever the method, leaves an invoice on the Invoices page that you can download as a PDF, with your company details once you add them in the billing settings.

## FAQ

Quick answers on buy proxies with crypto.

[Something else? Ask us](mailto:hello@quanticdata.io)

### Can I buy proxies with crypto?

Yes. QuanticData accepts more than 300 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and Monero, for any plan and for balance top-ups. Choose Crypto at checkout, pick the coin and network on the payment page, send the exact amount shown, and the plan is created as soon as the network confirms the payment.

### Can I buy proxies with USDT on TRC20?

Yes. USDT is accepted on any network the payment page lists, Tron (TRC20) included, for payments of $11 or more. Pick TRC20 on the payment page and send on Tron; the network fee is paid in TRX on top of the amount. For smaller orders, choose another coin, or pay by card or PayPal.

### Can I buy proxies with Monero (XMR)?

Yes. Monero is one of the more than 300 coins the crypto checkout accepts, for plans and for balance top-ups. Like other crypto payments, an ordinary order needs no identity documents from us; the plan is created once the payment is confirmed in full.

### Can I buy residential proxies with PayPal?

Yes. PayPal works for residential proxies and every other plan, and for balance top-ups. The payment is usually confirmed in a few seconds; some payments are held for a manual check first, and while they wait you can pay the same order with crypto or your balance instead.

### Can I buy proxies with a credit card?

Yes: Visa, Mastercard and American Express, through PayPal's card checkout. The card is tokenised by the payment processor, so the full card number never reaches us, and 3-D Secure applies where your bank requires it. A saved card also enables one-click top-ups and optional auto-recharge.

### Do I need to verify my identity to buy proxies with crypto?

Not for an ordinary order. Crypto payments settle through our payment processors and need no identity documents from us. More is asked only in specific cases, such as an order unusually large for a new account or signs of a stolen payment instrument, as our KYC and sanctions policy explains.

### What is the minimum amount I can pay?

A balance top-up starts at $5 and goes up to $10,000 per top-up. USDT is offered for payments of $11 or more; other coins follow the payment page's own minimum. A plan bought directly by card or PayPal costs the price of the plan, with no extra minimum.

## Pay the way you already pay

More than 300 coins, PayPal, cards and a balance that never expires, with no documents for an ordinary order. Create a free account and buy residential, mobile, ISP or datacenter proxies.
