Buy Steam gift card with USD Coin (USDC)

Pay for a Steam gift card with USDC and spend it on games, in-game currency, season passes and DLC. Because dollar-pegged like USDT but issued by Circle, and it settles for almost nothing on Solana or Base, USDC is one of the more practical ways to settle an order here. We confirm at 1 confirmation, seconds on Solana or Base, network cost is under $0.01 on Solana, a few cents on Base, $3–$15 on Ethereum mainnet, and the code is emailed automatically the moment the payment confirms — normally inside two minutes end to end. Every card is priced below face value, and the bigger the card, the bigger the discount.

Steam with USDC — common questions

How long does a Steam gift card take to arrive when I pay with USDC?

We release the code after 1 confirmation, seconds on Solana or Base. In normal network conditions the whole process — payment sent, confirmed, code emailed — is quick: the code is released within ~30 sec of confirmation.

What network should I send USDC on?

We accept ERC20 (Ethereum), Solana, Base, Polygon and Arbitrum. Solana or Base is the cheapest and fastest. Choose the network on the checkout screen before you copy the address — the address differs per chain.

What does it cost to send USDC?

Network cost is under $0.01 on Solana, a few cents on Base, $3–$15 on Ethereum mainnet. That is paid to the network, not to us — we add no processing fee, service charge or spread on top of the displayed price.

Is the Steam card cheaper if I pay with USDC instead of another coin?

No. The discount is set by the card value, not the coin — the bigger the card, the bigger the discount, and the exact price is shown before you pay. What changes between coins is how fast the order confirms and what the network charges you to send it.

What should I watch out for paying with USDC?

Like USDT, USDC lives on several chains. The address format differs between them — a Solana address will not accept an ERC20 transfer. Select the chain on the checkout screen before you send.

What happens if the USDC price moves while my payment is confirming?

USDC is dollar-pegged, so there is effectively nothing to move. The amount quoted is the amount you owe.
