Solana infrastructure provider ERPC has expanded its crypto payment option to cover monthly and annual subscription plans, allowing teams to pay directly from their wallets using SOL, USDC, or EURC stablecoins. This move addresses a practical pain point for blockchain development teams that manage treasury operations entirely through crypto assets but have historically needed to separate infrastructure costs into traditional payment methods.

Why Are Crypto-Native Teams Asking for Wallet-Based Infrastructure Payments?

For Solana application teams, the friction of switching payment methods for infrastructure costs creates unnecessary operational complexity. Many projects already manage development costs, validation expenses, on-chain operations, liquidity, and reward payments through crypto wallets. Forcing infrastructure payments through credit cards introduces a separate accounting workflow, permission management layer, and approval process that doesn't align with how these teams actually operate.

The expansion of ERPC's Crypto Pay feature directly addresses this workflow mismatch. Previously, ERPC supported crypto payments only for hourly billing, which works for short-term testing but not for production-grade infrastructure contracts. Now teams can use the same payment path from initial validation through monthly and annual production deployments.

How Does the New Crypto Payment Flow Work for Infrastructure Subscriptions?

• Dashboard Integration: Users select a monthly or annual plan from the ERPC Dashboard, add resources to their cart, and review the final discounted price before proceeding to crypto payment without needing a credit card.
• Discount Visibility: Annual plans offer discounts up to 30 percent, and monthly plans can include bundle discounts and coupons. The dashboard displays the final discounted amount before users top up ERPC Credits from their Solana wallet.
• Stablecoin Flexibility: Teams can pay with SOL, USDC, or EURC. If they select SOL or USDC, the payment system automatically swaps the asset to EURC through Orca decentralized exchange, and ERPC receives the credit top-up in EURC within the same transaction flow.
• Renewal Automation: ERPC sends pre-renewal alert emails when credit balances may be insufficient. Teams can then top up required credits from the dashboard before renewal dates, using the same crypto payment path without automatic wallet debits.

This design keeps the entire infrastructure lifecycle, from initial testing to production operation and renewal, within a single payment framework that aligns with how Solana teams already manage their finances.

What Infrastructure Services Are Now Available Through Crypto Pay?

The crypto payment expansion covers a broad range of Solana-optimized infrastructure products available through the ERPC Dashboard. Teams can now pay with crypto for Solana RPC endpoints, WebSocket connections, Geyser gRPC streams, Shredstream services, Direct UDP Stream raw shreds, VPS instances, bare metal servers, dedicated RPC capacity, SWQoS (Solana WebSocket Quality of Service), Pyth-compatible Price API access, and Jet Analytics and Indexed RPC services.

This breadth of coverage means that teams building trading bots, real-time on-chain analytics platforms, wallet applications, indexing workloads, monitoring systems, and AI agent-based Solana applications can now handle all their infrastructure costs through a single crypto-based payment method. For projects where payment delays could postpone validation or production launch, this streamlined path reduces operational friction significantly.

How Does This Change the Economics of Infrastructure Adoption for Solana Teams?

The practical impact extends beyond convenience. By supporting SOL and stablecoins for monthly and annual plans, ERPC enables teams to choose payment sources according to their internal management policies, whether that means using validation wallets, operations wallets, or team wallets. This flexibility reduces the overhead of managing multiple payment systems and approval workflows.

For teams evaluating ERPC or comparing infrastructure providers, the ability to fund subscriptions directly from existing treasury operations without preparing a credit card first lowers the barrier to testing and deploying production infrastructure. The feature also simplifies renewal workflows; teams receive pre-renewal notices and can confirm required amounts before adding credits from their Solana wallet, creating a predictable operational cycle that fits existing accounting practices.

The ERPC Dashboard itself supports 16 languages and consolidates plan selection, monthly/annual/hourly switching, region selection, stock checks, API key management, usage monitoring, and support ticket creation into a single interface. This unified approach means teams no longer need to separate infrastructure payment into a completely different system from the rest of their infrastructure management.

As Web3 infrastructure providers continue to compete on developer experience and operational efficiency, reducing friction in payment workflows represents a meaningful competitive advantage. For Solana teams already operating in a crypto-native environment, the ability to keep infrastructure costs aligned with existing treasury operations removes a significant adoption barrier and streamlines the path from infrastructure selection to actual production use.
