Buy eSIM with Avalanche: Pay with AVAX, USDT or USDC

You fit buy HelloSIM travel eSIM for Avalanche with three assets: the network own coin, AVAX, or the stablecoins USDT and USDC wey you send for Avalanche. For the secure payment page you go choose the asset and Avalanche as the network, then send the exact amount wey e show inside one hour, and keep small AVAX for your wallet for the network fee if na stablecoin you dey use pay.

This guide dey cover wetin concern Avalanche specifically: how to pick the correct combination for the payment page, which part of Avalanche to send on, and how to avoid stablecoin transfer wey no fit comot from your wallet.

Which Avalanche coins you fit use buy eSIM?

Three options for the HelloSIM payment page dey run for Avalanche:

• Avalanche (AVAX): the network own coin, wey dem list as coin on im own.
• Tether (USDT) for Avalanche: one of the eight networks wey HelloSIM dey accept for USDT.
• USD Coin (USDC) for Avalanche: one of the five networks wey HelloSIM dey accept for USDC.

The page dey always show the current list of coins and networks, and e fit change. The simplest choice na the asset wey you don already get for Avalanche.

How to pick the correct asset and network for the payment page

The payment page dey ask for two things: the coin and the network. With AVAX the choice straight, because na the network own coin you dey use pay. With USDT and USDC, the coin alone no reach: after you choose the stablecoin, select Avalanche from im list of networks. For example, USDT for Avalanche and USDT for Ethereum na separate tokens for separate ledgers, and payment request wey dem create for one no dey expect the other one.

One rule cover every case: the asset and the network for the payment page must describe exactly wetin dey your wallet. If your wallet show USDC for Avalanche, choose USDC and Avalanche. If e show AVAX, choose AVAX.

Every plan price dey for euros. The page go convert the euro amount to the asset wey you choose for the moment wey you pay, and e go show payment address, QR code and the exact amount to send. Send that figure, no be the one wey you calculate yourself.

Why you need small AVAX to send USDT or USDC

For Avalanche, na AVAX dem dey use pay the network fee. When you send AVAX from your own wallet, the fee go comot from the same balance, so that balance must cover the amount wey dem show plus the fee. When you send USDT or USDC from your own wallet, dem still dey pay the fee with AVAX, so the wallet need small AVAX balance near the stablecoin. If you no get am, the transfer no go even fit send most times.

If you dey pay from exchange, the exchange go handle the network fee by imself. Wetin you go check there na whether dem dey remove their withdrawal fee from the amount wey you type: if you send less than the amount wey dem show, the payment fit stay incomplete, but if you overpay, the order still go complete. Anyhow e be, na the sender dey pay network fees, on top of the amount wey dem show.

How to pay for eSIM for Avalanche, step by step

1. 1Check your balance and network. For your wallet, confirm say the AVAX, USDT or USDC dey sit for Avalanche, no be for Ethereum or another chain wey get the same address format.
2. 2Choose plan and start checkout. Pick country, regional or Global plan, put your email address and select “Pay with crypto”. Guest checkout dey work; account go help you manage eSIMs and top up later.
3. 3Select the asset and Avalanche. Choose AVAX, or choose USDT or USDC with Avalanche as the network. The page go show the address, QR code and the exact amount.

5. 5Wait for confirmation. Dem go issue the eSIM once the payment confirm for blockchain. E go then show for your account or for the app, and dem go email the QR code.
6. 6Install am with Wi-Fi. Validity dey start when the eSIM first connect to network for your destination, so e dey okay to buy and install before the trip.

C-Chain, X-Chain and other Avalanche mix-ups

Avalanche get more than one chain. The one wey wallets dey use for AVAX transfers, USDT and USDC na the C-Chain, wey dey use 0x addresses exactly like Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon and Arbitrum. Exchanges dey often label am Avalanche C-Chain or AVAXC, and some dey also offer AVAX withdrawals for the X-Chain, wey im addresses look different and dey start with X-avax.

Na why you go do three checks:

• Addresses wey resemble each other. 0x address dey valid for many networks, so wallet no go warn you if na wrong network dey active. Check the network selector before you paste.
• The exchange network list. Choose the Avalanche option wey match the payment page. If the form reject the address, change the network, never change the address.
• Bridged tokens. Some Avalanche wallets dey show older bridged stablecoin with .e for the end, like USDC.e or USDT.e. These ones na separate tokens from native USDC and USDT. If you no sure which one you get, ask HelloSIM support before you start payment request.

Transfer for different network from the one wey dem show fit leave the payment incomplete, and blockchain transfers no fit reverse once you don send am.

Timing, minimum and the one-hour window
