Crypto payment
How long does a crypto payment take to confirm?
It varies by chain: Solana and TON confirm in under a minute, TRON in about a minute, Litecoin in around ten minutes, Bitcoin in roughly twenty and Monero in about twenty. Provisioning begins automatically the moment the required confirmations land, and takes under a further sixty seconds.
Confirmation counts are set by the processor to balance settlement risk against waiting time, and are higher on chains with cheaper reorganisations. They are shown on the invoice before you send.
If you need capacity immediately, pay on a fast-finality chain. If you are provisioning ahead of time, chain speed is irrelevant and coin choice should be driven by privacy or fee cost instead.
| Coin | Confirmations | Approx. wait |
|---|---|---|
| Solana (SOL) | 32 | Under 1 minute |
| TON | 10 | About 1 minute |
| TRON (TRX, USDT-TRC20) | 20 | About 1 minute |
| Litecoin (LTC) | 4 | ~10 minutes |
| Bitcoin (BTC) | 2 | ~20 minutes |
| Monero (XMR) | 10 | ~20 minutes |
| Ethereum (ETH) | 12 | ~3 minutes |
