Solana settles in under 5 seconds at typical network conditions. For a card top-up flow where you want to issue and use a card within a minute of deciding, native SOL is the fastest path we support — faster than even USDT TRC-20.

Why Solana for fast top-ups

Two properties make Solana ideal for card funding:

The trade-off historically has been network reliability (Solana has had multi-hour outages). For card funding where the worst case is "retry in 30 minutes," the speed gain on the happy path is worth the occasional retry on outage days.

SOL native vs USDT on Solana

We accept both. The difference:

If you fund $50-$500 frequently, native SOL is the way. If you fund $5000+ where a 1% price swing matters, prefer USDT SPL on Solana.

Step by step

  1. Click Deposit, pick Solana (SOL).
  2. Send the displayed SOL amount to the deposit address from any Solana-supporting wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Ledger, exchanges).
  3. The transaction lands in 1-2 slots (~1 second). We credit the balance on first confirmation.
  4. Issue a card from the dashboard. Total time from "open dashboard" to "card ready" is typically under a minute.
Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions

What if the Solana network is congested?

During heavy load, transactions may need 2-3 slots instead of 1, adding maybe 2-3 seconds. We credit when finality lands.

Does CryptoCardy refund SOL sent to an old address?

Deposit addresses remain valid; funds to a previously generated address still credit your account.

What if Solana has a network outage?

Your transaction will simply pend until the network resumes. We credit whenever the tx finalises, however long that takes. No funds are at risk in your wallet.

Can I use a Phantom Wallet to fund?

Yes — Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Glow, all wallet apps work. Just paste our address.

Is there a minimum SOL deposit?

$5 equivalent. Below that, even Solana's tiny fees become noticeable as a percentage.

What about SOL staking rewards?

Not relevant to our flow — once you send the SOL, it converts to your account balance. No staking happens.
