Topping Up Credits
How to buy credits with SOL, USDC, or SOLARIS.
Credits are bought with a one-time payment from your embedded Privy wallet, in SOL, USDC, or SOLARIS. There is no auto-renew and no card on file. Purchased credits never expire, whichever token you pay in.
Buying credits
- Open the Credits chip in the top navigation (or the credits prompt on a ForEach loop)
- Choose a credit amount
- Pick your token under Pay with. SOL is the default.
- Review the amount. SOL and SOLARIS are converted from their live USD rate; USDC is charged at the exact dollar price.
- If your wallet is short on SOL, click Fund Wallet in the confirmation dialog
- Click Pay & Add Credits. Solaris AI Flow charges your embedded wallet. If confirmation is delayed, your credits are added automatically once the transaction lands.
Keep a little SOL in your wallet even when you pay in USDC or SOLARIS. Solana charges the network fee in SOL no matter which token the payment itself moves.
Price lock
The price you see is locked for your transaction. Each token has a drift band, which is how far its rate may move between viewing and confirming before you are asked to review an updated price. Inside the band you pay exactly what you were quoted.
| Token | Pricing | Drift band |
|---|---|---|
| SOL | Live SOL/USD rate | 2% |
| USDC | Pegged 1:1 to USD | None, you pay the exact dollar price |
| SOLARIS | Live SOLARIS/USD rate | 9% |
SOLARIS gets the wider band because it moves more than SOL. See $SOLARIS Token for the reasoning.
If a live rate cannot be fetched, that token's buy button is disabled and reads rate unavailable. A purchase is never settled against a stale price, so pick another token or try again shortly.
Free monthly credits
Every account receives 50,000 free credits automatically each month. You don't need to do anything to receive them, and unused free credits roll over up to a 100,000-credit cap.
Earning credits with quests
Complete setup quests from the dashboard to earn additional promo credits. Quest credits expire after 180 days.
Failed payments
If your wallet is short on the token you chose, or lacks the SOL for the network fee, the transaction fails. No credits are added. You can retry immediately.
If the app cannot check your balance because RPC is unavailable, you may still continue. The server performs the final payment check before adding credits.
