Pay for Hosting with Cardano
Fund your ChainVPS balance with Cardano (ADA) and pay for hosting on a proof-of-stake network with low, predictable transaction fees.
Network
Cardano L1 (native ADA)
Privacy
Pseudonymous
Network fees
Low. Cardano fees follow a fixed size-based formula and are typically a small fraction of an ADA per transfer, staying predictable regardless of network price swings.
Settlement
Top-ups are usually credited within minutes once the network confirms the transaction.
Paying with Cardano
Cardano is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain and ADA is its native coin, used to pay network fees and move value directly between wallets. It uses an extended UTXO (eUTXO) accounting model, so ADA lives on its own chain rather than as a token on Ethereum, and transfers are self-custodied from any Cardano-native wallet.
Privacy: Cardano is pseudonymous, not private: every ADA transaction, amount, and address is recorded on a public ledger that anyone can inspect and analyze. It does not obscure sender, receiver, or amount by default, so treat it like Bitcoin rather than a privacy coin such as Monero.
Best for: Someone who already holds ADA and wants a fast, low-fee mainstream coin to fund their balance, and who accepts a public, pseudonymous ledger rather than needing on-chain privacy.
How it works
Top up in four steps
- 1
Choose Cardano at top-up
On your ChainVPS top-up screen, select Cardano (ADA) as the payment coin and enter the amount you want to add to your prepaid balance.
- 2
Get the deposit address
The checkout generates a unique ADA deposit address (and the exact amount) for this top-up. Copy it, or scan the QR code with your wallet.
- 3
Send ADA from your wallet
Open your Cardano-native wallet, paste the address, enter the exact amount, and broadcast the transaction. Send only ADA on the Cardano network to this address.
- 4
Balance is credited automatically
Once the network confirms the payment, your ChainVPS balance is topped up automatically and your services draw from it. No account or KYC step is required.
Wallets
Send ADA from any of these
Non-custodial wallets keep your keys in your hands. ChainVPS never asks for a wallet login or seed phrase.
Spend your balance

Questions
Paying with Cardano — FAQ
Is paying with Cardano private?
No. Cardano is pseudonymous: your payment is written to a public ledger where the address and amount are permanently visible and can be analyzed. ChainVPS does not require identity verification, but the ADA transaction itself is not private the way Monero is.
How long until my top-up shows up?
Usually within minutes. Your balance is credited automatically once the network confirms the transaction, so there is no manual approval step on our side.
Which wallet should I send from?
Use any Cardano-native, self-custody wallet such as Lace, Eternl, Yoroi, or a Ledger hardware wallet. Send only ADA on the Cardano network to the deposit address; do not send ADA-named tokens from other chains or bridged wrappers.
