Payments
CrowdTime bot subscriptions can be paid with ADA or USDCx (Cardano native token).
Accepted Payment Methods
| Token | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ADA | Cardano's native currency | Standard wallet balance |
| USDCx | Cardano native token (USD stablecoin) | Also requires ~2 ADA min-UTxO |
Min-UTxO requirement: Every USDCx payment must include a small amount of ADA (~1.15 ADA) alongside the token. This is a Cardano protocol requirement for native-token UTxOs, not an additional fee. The payment dialog will show the exact total.
How It Works
- Connect a Cardano wallet (see Wallet Setup).
- When creating a new bot or renewing an existing one, CrowdTime presents a payment dialog.
- Select your preferred payment currency (ADA or USDCx).
- Send the specified amount to the payment address shown ($crowdtrendz_fees). For USDCx, your wallet will also include the required ADA min-UTxO automatically.
- CrowdTime monitors the Cardano blockchain and activates the bot once the payment is confirmed.
Payment Confirmation
Cardano transactions are typically confirmed within 1–3 minutes. Once the bot is created, you will need to activate it manually. (see Start & Stop)
Subscription Period
Each payment activates a bot for a fixed subscription period. You can see the expiration date on each bot card.
Once the bot is expired, you can renew it. For more information, see Bot Renewal
See Paying with Cardano for the step-by-step payment flow.
