Quick answer
How can a developer or a data pipeline pay for proxy bandwidth in USDT or USDC?
Top up a balance in crypto, by hand or by API. CrawlRelay sells residential and rotating mobile proxy bandwidth for crypto only: USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20, USDC on ERC-20, BTC, ETH, SOL and LTC. You top up a USD balance from $25, then buy plans from it, starting at $1.50 for 1 GB and $0.50/GB from 50 GB. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents.
Accepted cryptocurrencies
Send only the coin and the network the payment page shows. XMR, Lightning, cards and PayPal are not accepted.

How payment works
Top up $25 or more
Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes.
Send it to the address shown, on the exact network
The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount.
Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”
Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account.
Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain
Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times:
Crypto Network Confirmations Usual time BTC Bitcoin 2 ≈ 20 min USDT Tron (TRC-20) 20 ≈ 1 min USDT Ethereum (ERC-20) 12 ≈ 5 min USDC Ethereum (ERC-20) 12 ≈ 5 min ETH Ethereum 12 ≈ 5 min SOL Solana 1 ≈ 1 min LTC Litecoin 6 ≈ 15 min One balance for every product
If you started from a plan, it is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and your proxies are delivered. What is left stays on your balance: use it for any of our plans, paid instantly. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it.
Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again.
Which coin should a developer or a company pay with?
- USDT on TRC-20 for low fees: credited after 20 confirmations.
- USDC or USDT on ERC-20 if your treasury lives on Ethereum: 12 confirmations.
- BTC if that is what you hold: 2 confirmations.
- ETH (12), LTC (6) and SOL (1) work the same way, each on its own network.
Stablecoins keep the amount in dollars from the moment you send to the moment the balance is credited, which keeps accounting simple: plans are priced in USD, and your balance is in USD.
How does a top-up find my account?
By its exact amount. Each top-up gets its own amount, down to the last decimals, and the payment page shows the address for the coin and network you chose. Send that exact amount, then click "I've sent the payment"; adding the transaction ID (TXID) is optional. The payment is matched to your top-up by its exact amount, and your balance is credited once the transaction is confirmed on the network. If you started from a plan, the plan is bought from your balance once the top-up is credited.
Send the amount shown, on the network shown. A different amount or a different network cannot be matched by its amount, and funds sent on the wrong network may not be recoverable.
Can a pipeline top up and buy traffic through the API?
Yes. The REST API at https://crawlrelay.com/api/v1 documents the full cycle with an API key: list the accepted coins, start a top-up and get its exact amount, follow its status until it is credited, buy a plan from the balance, and read the balance history. A scheduled job can watch daily usage and buy the next plan before a crawl runs dry. API keys you can revoke at any time.
- Top-ups API: coins, amount, status.
- Orders API: plans, prices, buying from the balance.
- Account API: balance and its history.
What happens to the rest of my top-up?
It stays on your balance, in US dollars, for any later plan. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it. If you top up $25 and buy 1 GB for $1.50, the remainder pays for the next plans, residential or mobile, whenever you need them. Plans bought with it keep the same rule: their traffic never expires.
Do I get a receipt for accounting?
Yes. Each order names the seller, ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the client area keeps your top-ups and orders with amounts in USD, coin, network and date. The balance history is also available through the API for your own bookkeeping. We do not issue invoices with customer identity details we never collected; add your own company details to your records.
Crypto payments: questions
What is the minimum crypto payment?
The minimum top-up is $25. It is credited in full to your USD balance; it is not a fee. Your wallet pays the blockchain network fee on top. From that balance you can buy the 1 GB plan for $1.50 and keep the rest for later.
Do you accept Monero or the Lightning Network?
No. CrawlRelay accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, each on the networks shown at checkout. Monero, Lightning, cards, PayPal and bank transfers are not accepted.
How long does a crypto top-up take?
It depends on the network and on how busy it is, so we do not promise a time. Your balance is credited once the transaction is confirmed: 20 confirmations for USDT on Tron, 12 for ERC-20 tokens and ETH, 6 for LTC, 2 for BTC and 1 for SOL. The crypto amount and its rate stay fixed for 30 minutes on the payment page.
What if I sent the wrong amount or used the wrong network?
Write to [email protected] with the coin, the network, the amount and the date. A wrong amount on the right network can usually be traced; funds sent on a network we do not support may not be recoverable. Never send a seed phrase or a private key to anyone, including support.
Can I get my crypto back?
The balance is not paid back out to a wallet. Within 72 hours of purchase, a residential or rotating-mobile plan is credited back to your balance if you used less than 20% of its traffic and no more than 1 GB. A plan that does not work, and that support cannot fix within 24 hours, is credited back in full. Top-ups are credited to your balance and are not paid back, except where the law requires it. The refund policy lists the cases and how to ask.
Do I need to verify my identity to pay in crypto?
No. CrawlRelay asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents, whatever the coin or the amount. Some other providers do: SOAX, for example, accepts crypto only after KYC. Use of CrawlRelay remains subject to the Acceptable Use Policy.
Top up once, scrape for months
