Stablecoin Payments

Pay for event tickets using USDC stablecoin on Solana.

Organiser Setting

Stablecoin payments are only available if the event organiser has enabled this payment option for their event. If you don't see the Crypto payment tab during checkout, the organiser has not enabled stablecoin payments for that event.

Overview​

Delvent supports stablecoin payments via USDC (USD Coin) - a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. This provides:

  • Price Stability - No volatility like Bitcoin or Ethereum
  • Low Fees - Only 0.5% processing fee
  • Fast Settlement - Transactions confirm in seconds
  • Global Access - Pay from anywhere in the world

Supported Blockchain​

Delvent uses Solana for stablecoin payments:

  • Fast transactions (~400ms)
  • Very low network fees (~$0.00025)
  • Use wallets like Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack

Before paying with stablecoin, you need:

  1. A Solana Wallet - Such as Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack
  2. USDC Balance - Enough USDC to cover the ticket price plus fees
  3. SOL for Fees - Small amount of SOL for transaction fees (~$0.01)

  • You'll need to start a new payment from the checkout step
  • Any sent funds should be refunded (contact support)

Wrong Network​

Sending USDC on the wrong network (e.g., Ethereum USDC to a Solana address) will result in lost funds. Always ensure you're sending USDC on the Solana network.

Security Tips​

  1. Verify Address - Always double-check the wallet address
  2. Use QR Code - Scanning reduces chance of typos
  3. Check Network - Ensure you're sending on Solana network
  4. Keep Records - Save your transaction hash for reference
