Adding credit with crypto

When crypto rails are enabled, you can top up your wallet on-chain with Bitcoin (and Lightning), Solana (and USDC), or Ethereum on Base. You pay in crypto; your Lanzinha wallet is credited in BRL.

What you'll learn
  • Which crypto options are available
  • How an on-chain top-up works (no redirect)
  • How the USD rate is locked, and the crypto minimum

Available crypto options

If your account has crypto enabled, extra payment tiles appear on the Add-credit screen:

BitcoinBitcoin on-chain, or the Lightning Network
SolanaSOL or USDC on Solana
Ethereum ΞETH on the Base network
note

Crypto tiles only show up when those rails are switched on for the platform. If you don't see them, crypto isn't available to you right now — use Pix or a card instead.

Add credit with crypto

  1. Go to your wallet and choose Add credit.
  2. Pick a crypto tile (Bitcoin, Solana, or Ethereum).
  3. An inline dialog shows a QR code and address — there's no redirect to another site.
  4. Send the payment from your wallet app. When it settles on-chain, your Lanzinha balance is credited.

How the rate works

Crypto is charged in USD, at a rate that's frozen when you create the deposit and held for a short window (about 30 minutes). Your wallet is then credited in BRL. Because of that conversion, the crypto minimum is a little higher than the Pix minimum — a small minimum in BRL, shown on the form.

tip

Send the payment within the lock window so the frozen rate still applies. If the window passes before your transaction settles, just start a new deposit to lock a fresh rate.

Other ways to pay

For instant, fee-free top-ups in BRL, see adding credit with Pix. To split a payment over time, see adding credit with a card.
