Pay for residential and mobile proxy bandwidth with Bitcoin, USDC, USDT, Ethereum, or Solana. No credit cards, no identity checks, no subscriptions. There are two ways to buy, and they price differently: fixed prepaid packages, or the live marketplace where rates move with supply.
ProxyBase runs two purchasing rails. Pick the one that matches how much you buy and how much your price needs to be predictable.
Set prices, prepaid
Buy a block of bandwidth at a set price and keep it until you use it. This is the simplest rail if you know roughly how much traffic you need and want the cost settled up front.
Dynamic per-GB rates set by supply
Open a session against the peer marketplace and pay the current per-GB rate for that country and network type. Rates are set per country and category, so they vary, and they can be materially lower than the fixed package rate. You pay from a prepaid credit balance, billed per session.
Pay with stablecoins through the Micropayments Protocol, or settle a conventional on-chain invoice.
| Currency / Network | Settlement Speed | Typical Network Fee | Best Use Case | Autonomous Agent Ready |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDC / USDT (Tempo & Solana) | Sub-second (< 2s) | < $0.001 | Instant pay-as-you-go micropayments, frequent top-ups | ✅ Native MPP Support |
| Solana (SOL) | Under 15 seconds | < $0.005 | Direct on-chain invoices with near-zero gas | ✅ REST API Invoicing |
| Bitcoin (BTC) | 1 Confirmation (~10-20m) | Variable ($1.00 – $3.00) | Maximum sovereignty & classic crypto privacy | ✅ Automated Invoicing |
| Ethereum (ETH & ERC-20) | 12 Blocks (~2-3m) | Gas dependent ($1.50 – $5.00) | Large enterprise bandwidth orders and DAO treasuries | ✅ Automated Invoicing |
MPP skips the invoice entirely. On Tempo and Solana, stablecoin payments confirm in under two seconds, so an agent can top up mid-task rather than pre-buying a block it may never finish.
Your wallet address is the account. There is no email, no phone number, and no document upload, which means nothing in our records ties your proxy sessions to a legal identity.
Most providers reset your allowance every 30 days, and whatever you did not use is forfeited. Fixed packages here hold their full balance until your scraper transfers the data, whether that takes a week or a year.
Card payments end at a 3-D Secure prompt or an SMS code, steps no autonomous agent can clear. A wallet signature is something an agent can produce without a human in the loop, which is what makes unattended provisioning possible.
Three calls: register, order, then poll for credentials. No browser involved at any point.
One POST request. No email verification, no password to set.

# }Once the payment confirms on-chain, the status response carries your SOCKS5 username and password.
# Poll until status is "proxy_active": curl https://api.proxybase.xyz/v1/orders/kQx7p3Wn/status \ -H "X-API-Key: pk_c8c91c8a0e5b3e2c..." # Connect through the proxy: curl --socks5-hostname username:password@api.proxybase.xyz:1080 \ https://api.ipify.org?format=json # Rotate to a fresh IP on demand: curl -X POST https://api.proxybase.xyz/v1/orders/kQx7p3Wn/rotate \ -H "X-API-Key: pk_c8c91c8a0e5b3e2c..."
Both examples assume credentials from the status call above. Python needs the SOCKS extra installed: pip install requests[socks].
import requests

proxies = {"http": proxy, "https": proxy}
r = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json", proxies=proxies, timeout=30)
print(r.json())import axios from 'axios';
import { SocksProxyAgent } from 'socks-proxy-agent';
const agent = new SocksProxyAgent(

console.log(data);How crypto checkout, identity checks, and minimum commitments differ. Every provider here accepts cards or wire. The question is whether crypto is a first-class payment path or a bolt-on that still needs an account, and whether you must prove who you are before buying.
| Provider | Crypto Architecture | Mandatory KYC | Minimum Spend | Credit Expiration | Programmatic IP Rotation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProxyBase | Crypto-Native (USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL) | None (Wallet Only) | Market rate from ~$3/GB, or $10 for a 1 GB package | Packages never expire | Yes (POST /rotate) |
| Proxy-Cheap | BTC, ETH, USDT at checkout (account required) | Email account | No advertised minimum | Top-up packs up to 50 GB/mo | Manual IP replacement |
| Proxy-Seller | Checkout add-on | Email account | Per-plan | Monthly or rental term | Manual replacement |
| Webshare | No native crypto (card/PayPal via Stripe) | Card verification | ~$3.00/mo plans | Monthly recurring | Dashboard or API |
| Oxylabs | Cards via Stripe; wire on higher tiers | Conditional (required for some targeting filters) | Plans from $30/mo (5 GB) | Monthly | Automatic gateway |
| BrightData | Crypto listed in their docs; not confirmed at checkout | KYC required for residential | Pay-as-you-go from $8/GB, or $499+/mo tiers | Monthly on volume tiers | Rotating gateway |
Competitor details above were checked against each provider's published pricing and documentation on 24 September 2026. Proxy vendors change prices and payment options often, so confirm current terms with the provider before you buy. ProxyBase market rates are dynamic and move with supply; the fixed package prices are listed on the package store.
USDC, USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Stablecoins settle fastest and cost the least in network fees, so they are the better default if your agent tops up often. The full list is available from GET /v1/currencies.
No. There is no email, phone number, address, or document upload. Your wallet address and API key are the whole account. See how no-KYC access works.
Provisioning runs automatically when the transaction confirms. Stablecoins on Tempo and Solana typically confirm in seconds. Bitcoin and Ethereum wait on block confirmation, so expect minutes rather than seconds.
Yes. Registration, ordering, status polling, and rotation are all headless HTTP calls, and payment is a wallet signature, so nothing in the flow needs a browser or a card. See proxies for AI agents.
No. A fixed package keeps its full balance until you transfer the data. This is the main practical difference from monthly plans, which usually forfeit whatever you did not use by the renewal date.
SOCKS5 (including authenticated SOCKS5) and HTTP/HTTPS, over residential and mobile endpoints. IP rotation is available programmatically via POST /v1/orders/{id}/rotate.
Partial payments are recorded against the order and it stays open. Once the full amount arrives, credentials are issued, so you do not have to start a new order.
Yes, that runs the other direction. On ProxyBase Markets you run a seller node and earn per gigabyte relayed, paid in AlphaUSD or USDC.
Fixed packages from $10 for 1 GB, or pay the live market rate from about $3/GB. Credentials are issued by the API as soon as the payment confirms.
