Which coins we accept
We take nine coins across the major networks, from Bitcoin and Monero to dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDT and USDC. Pick the one you already hold.
Each coin has its own guide with fees, speed, and the exact steps. Stablecoins keep the amount fixed in dollars, Monero is the most private, and Solana or TRON are the cheapest and fastest.
- Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, and six more
- Stablecoins for a fixed dollar amount
- Tron, Solana, and BNB Smart Chain for low fees
Why crypto only
Taking only crypto is a deliberate choice, not a limitation. It keeps purchases private, works for anyone with a wallet regardless of borders or banks, and removes chargebacks and card holds.
It is also what lets us ask for so little from you: with no card to process, a private account number is all we need.
How fast your eSIM arrives
The wait is set by your coin's network, not by us. Once a payment confirms, your balance updates automatically and you can buy straight away. Fast networks like Tron, Solana and BNB Smart Chain confirm in seconds, while Bitcoin blocks come about every 10 minutes.
The chart below shows the time between blocks for each network we accept. If you are buying at the airport, a fast network saves the wait.
What paying costs you
We add no fee on top. The crypto amount is simply the dollar price at the live rate. The only extra cost is your own wallet's network fee, which is tiny on Tron, Solana, Polygon and BNB Smart Chain and higher on Bitcoin and Ethereum when those networks are busy.
Top-ups are between $20 and $500, and each quote holds for 15 minutes. Whatever you do not spend stays as balance for your next eSIM or number.
- No fee added on our side
- Your wallet's network fee is the only extra
- Quotes hold for 15 minutes
