Top up
$20.00
The smallest top-up is $20.00. $3.63 stays on your balance for later.
Ethereum's gas fee is the same whether you send $20 or $500, so a bigger top-up loses a smaller share to fees.

Why pay with Ethereum?
Ethereum is one of the most widely held coins, so paying with ETH means spending what is already in your wallet.
If you would rather pay a fixed dollar amount, we also accept USDT and USDC on the same Ethereum network.

- Settles on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network
- No card, no bank, no ID to buy
How to pay with ETH, step by step
- 1Choose Ethereum at top-upPick an amount from $20 to $500 and select Ethereum. We show the exact ETH amount and a 0x address.
- 2Set your wallet to Ethereum mainnetNot Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, or another layer 2. Those are different networks.
- 3Send the exact amountSend within 15 minutes, while the quote holds. Keep a little extra ETH for the network fee, called gas.
- 4Wait for a blockEthereum adds a block every 12 seconds.
- 5Buy from your balanceOnce the payment confirms, your balance is ready for anything we sell.
What our address looks like. Our address starts with 0x. The same 0x address is used on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Polygon, so the network you pick matters.
How fast is a ETH payment?
Time between blocks: 12 seconds. A block is a batch of payments the network writes down, and your payment needs to be in one before it counts. Here is how that compares with every other network we accept:

Shorter bar = the network confirms payments sooner. Log scale.

Mistakes to avoid with ETH
No ETH left for gas
Every Ethereum payment costs a little ETH in fees. If you try to send your whole balance, the wallet cannot cover the fee.
How private is paying with ETH?
Ethereum is fully public: anyone can look up an address and see every payment it made. Paying from your own wallet keeps your card and bank out of it, but not the payment itself. For that, Monero is the private option.
Whatever you pay with, the SimVala side stays the same: an account number instead of an email or name, and no ID to buy. For a private payment too, see paying with Monero.

Paying with ETH, answered
Can I pay with ETH on Arbitrum, Base, or Optimism?+
No. We accept ETH on Ethereum mainnet. Layer 2 networks are separate, so a payment sent there does not arrive on Ethereum.
Can I pay with ERC-20 stablecoins instead?+
Yes. USDT and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) are both accepted if you prefer a stable dollar amount.
Why does the ETH figure move?+
It reflects the live rate at quote time so your top up matches the dollar amount you chose. The quote holds for 15 minutes.
Is there a minimum?+
The minimum top up is $20 and the maximum is $500 per top up.
How fast is delivery?+
Most orders are ready within minutes of your payment confirming.
