USDC — USD Coin
Pay with USD Coin and get an offshore VPS
Yes. We accept USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and Base. After you broadcast the payment, we wait for 12 confirmations—about 2 minutes—then provisioning takes under a minute. No account with OnionVPS or OxaPay is needed, and no identity verification is ever required.
The other major dollar stablecoin. Choose it if your exchange or wallet holds USDC rather than USDT.

Paying with USDC, honestly
Paying with USDC is convenient but not private. The ledger is transparent: anyone can see the sender and recipient addresses and amounts. The issuer can freeze or blacklist addresses. Choose the network that matches where your USDC already sits—Ethereum if that's where your exchange holds it, otherwise Solana, Polygon, or Base for lower fees. Your invoice is a fresh address, so your activity isn't linked to a persistent account.
USDC suits buyers who hold the token on an exchange or wallet and want to skip card or bank plumbing. It's a poor fit for strict privacy, since the chain is transparent and issuer-controlled. If you need anonymity, use a privacy coin instead.
How to pay with USD Coin
Configure the server
Choose a plan, a location and a billing term at checkout. No account is created.
Select USDC as the payment method
An invoice appears with a fresh USD Coin address, the exact amount and a QR code, valid for 90 minutes at a locked rate.
Send the exact amount
Let your wallet add the network fee on top rather than deducting it from the amount — that is the most common cause of an underpayment.
Wait for 12 confirmations
About 2 minutes on Ethereum (ERC20). The status page updates live.
Receive credentials
Provisioning starts automatically and takes under a minute. Credentials are emailed to the address you supplied.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a USD Coin payment take?
12 confirmations, roughly 2 minutes on Ethereum (ERC20), then under a minute to provision.
Is paying with USD Coin private?
Issuer-controlled. Transparent ledger, and the token issuer can freeze or blacklist addresses. If privacy is the reason you are paying in crypto, use Monero instead.
Which USD Coin networks do you accept?
Ethereum (ERC20), Solana, Polygon, Base. Choose whichever your wallet or exchange supports; the fee difference between them can be substantial.
Do I need an account to pay?
No. No account with OnionVPS, and none with the payment processor. A fresh address is generated per invoice.
What happens if I underpay by more than 3%?
The invoice lifetime is 90 minutes at a locked rate, and we tolerate underpayments up to 3%. If you underpay by more than that, the payment won't be credited. Contact our ticket desk within the refund window to sort it out.
Why do I need 12 confirmations and not fewer?
Twelve confirmations is our balance between speed and finality. On Ethereum and other networks, the approximate block time is 0.2 minutes, so 12 confirmations take about 2 minutes. This reduces the chance of a chain reorganisation affecting your order.
