How do I buy a domain with Solana?
Five steps from search to an active domain. The order status moves from Awaiting payment to Verifying, Processing and Active.
Search the name
Search a domain and add it to your cart. Prices are per year in US dollars: .com $11.49/year.
Choose SOL on Solana
On the payment page, top up at least $25 and choose SOL on Solana. Pick the same network in your wallet or exchange.
Send the exact amount
Send the exact SOL amount to the address shown: a Solana address (base58, 32 to 44 characters). The rate is locked for 30 minutes.
Wait for 1 confirmation
The order shows Verifying while the payment is checked on the blockchain. Your balance is credited after 1 confirmation on the Solana network.
Get your domain
The order moves to Processing, then Active: usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. Safety net: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance.
How much does it cost to pay with Solana?
BuyDomainsCrypto adds no fee for paying in Solana. You pay the domain price in US dollars, plus the fee of the Solana network, which goes to the network. Solana transaction fees are paid in SOL and are usually a small fraction of a cent per transfer, which makes SOL the cheapest coin to send for a small top-up.
An exchange may also charge its own withdrawal fee. If it takes that fee from the amount you send, add it, so the exact amount arrives. Domain prices are the same whatever coin you use: see the pricing page.
What mistakes should I avoid when paying with Solana?
Check three things before you send: the network, the exact amount and the 30-minute window. SOL is accepted on the Solana network only; SPL tokens are not accepted.
- Send native SOL on the Solana network. SPL tokens (including USDC on Solana) are not accepted.
- The SOL amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes.
- Send the exact amount shown, to the last decimal.

How payment works
Top up $25 or more
Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes.
Send it to the address shown, on the exact network
The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount.
Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”
Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how your payment is found and matched to your account automatically. Nothing else to send us.
Credited after the network confirmations
Your balance is credited once the network has confirmed the transaction. Usual times:
Crypto Network Confirmations Usual time BTC Bitcoin 2 ≈ 20 min USDT Tron (TRC-20) 20 ≈ 1 min USDT Ethereum (ERC-20) 12 ≈ 5 min USDC Ethereum (ERC-20) 12 ≈ 5 min ETH Ethereum 12 ≈ 5 min SOL Solana 1 ≈ 1 min LTC Litecoin 6 ≈ 15 min One balance for every domain
If you started from a domain search, the domains in your cart are registered automatically as soon as the top-up is credited. What is left stays on your balance for renewals, transfers and new domains. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable.
Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again.

Paying with Solana: FAQ
Can I buy a domain with Solana without KYC?
Yes. BuyDomainsCrypto never asks for an ID, a selfie or documents. You top up your balance in SOL on Solana and register any of 55 extensions from it. You only need a working email address: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days).
How many confirmations does a Solana payment need?
A Solana top-up is credited after 1 confirmation on the Solana network. Until then the order shows Verifying, while the payment is checked on the blockchain. Once credited, the balance pays your cart and the order moves to Processing, then Active. For comparison: 2 for BTC, 20 for USDT TRC-20, 12 for ERC-20 tokens and ETH, 1 for SOL, 6 for LTC.
What happens if I send SOL on the wrong network?
SOL is accepted on the Solana network only; SPL tokens are not accepted. A payment sent on another network does not reach your top-up and may not be recoverable. Write to [email protected] with the coin, the network, the exact amount and the time you sent it: we check what is possible, but we cannot promise a recovery. Always compare the network on the payment page with your wallet.
Is the SOL price locked?
Yes, for 30 minutes. Prices are in US dollars; at checkout the SOL amount is calculated from the dollar price and locked for 30 minutes. Send the exact amount within that window. If your exchange deducts a withdrawal fee from the amount, add it, so the exact amount arrives.
Can I get a refund in Solana?
Top-ups are not paid back in crypto. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. Safety net: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. You can then pick another name or pay a renewal with it. The refunds page explains the rules in full.
Is a Solana payment private?
Not on the blockchain: Solana is a public ledger, so anyone can see the transaction and the addresses. What stays private is your identity on our side: no ID, no KYC, only a verified email, kept private. WHOIS privacy then keeps your details out of public records where the registry allows it.
Can I pay renewals and transfers with Solana?
Yes. One balance pays registrations, renewals and transfers. Top up in SOL whenever you want; auto-renew does the rest: automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. Unused balance never expires, so a top-up today can pay next year's renewal of any domain on the account.
Can I pay with USDC or other tokens on Solana?
No. Only native SOL on the Solana network is accepted. SPL tokens, including USDC on Solana, are not accepted and do not reach your top-up. To pay in USDC, use USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) instead. A SOL top-up is credited after 1 confirmation, and the SOL amount is locked for 30 minutes.
