Wallets, and how to get USDC
The payment page supports USDC on Solana. Available wallet and card routes, fees and identity checks are shown by the payment provider before you pay. Confirmation time depends on the network and the provider; an immediate credit is not guaranteed.
Diagram as text
- You buy USDC at an exchange or onramp. Check its eligibility rules, fees, withdrawal limits and privacy terms first.
- The provider must be able to withdraw USDC to a Solana address. USDC on Ethereum, Base or Polygon is a different token for this payment.
- If it cannot, pick another provider.
- You withdraw to your wallet, choosing Solana as the network and checking the address.
- You pick the top-up amount and open the payment page.
- You approve the transfer in your wallet. A transfer cannot be undone, so check the address.
- Credit appears when the provider confirms the payment; an immediate credit is not guaranteed.
What a wallet actually is
In a self-custody wallet, you control the signing keys. In a custodial account, a provider controls them for you. The distinction concerns your wallet: ZeroLog's merchant settlement uses a custodial Bybit account. See Payments and privacy.
One key pair, two faces of the same fact
The public half
The address. It is what an exchange withdraws to.
The private half
The rest of the pair, sitting on your device in the extension or the app.
Control your signing keys.
Keep your recovery method safe.
The same sentence, read from two sides
Write the recovery phrase down on paper and keep it away from the computer.
Self-custody does not remove token-issuer restrictions. Circle can block USDC addresses under its USDC terms. ZeroLog cannot recover a lost private key or reverse a blockchain transaction.
USDC on Solana, not the other USDC
The network matters as much as the coin. A wallet that speaks Solana is what you want: Phantom and Solflare are the common ones.

- USDCEthereum
- USDCBase
- USDCPolygon
USDC exists on Ethereum, Base, Polygon and others too, and those are different tokens as far as the payment is concerned.
Where to buy it
Before using an exchange or onramp, check its eligibility rules, fees, withdrawal limits and privacy terms. The payment route also requires both of these:
- It sells USDC.
- It lets you withdraw to a Solana address.
If you already use a provider, check that it supports the required withdrawal. Choose Solana as the network and verify the address on the payment page.
Identity checks depend on the provider
A provider may request identity documents or further checks based on its rules, your country and the transaction. ZeroLog does not promise that checks happen only once, on every payment, or never.
From a wallet
Your exchange and the payment service may apply their own checks.

The provider tells you which identity checks apply before completing payment.
A transfer cannot be undone
Sending to a wrong address loses the money, and no support desk can reverse it.
Send a small amount first, the first time you use a new address.
Network, exchange and payment-provider fees can differ. Review the current quote and any minimum payment before approving a transfer.
