How to Pay With USDC on Base (If You've Never Used Crypto)

USDC is a stablecoin: a digital token designed to stay worth one US dollar. It is not a speculative coin like Bitcoin, so a $1.29 video costs 1.29 USDC today and should cost the same tomorrow. Base is a blockchain network, a kind of payment rail, that moves tokens such as USDC quickly and usually for a fee of a few cents or less. The same USDC can live on several networks, which is why the network name matters so much when you send it.

Nureta accepts USDC on Base and nothing else: no cards, no other coins, and no USDC on other networks such as Ethereum or Solana. That single rule is the whole reason this guide exists. Get the token right (USDC) and the network right (Base), and paying takes about as long as scanning a QR code.

Because it keeps your payment private. Nureta never asks for a card number, so it never stores one, and your bank or card statement shows no adult merchant from Nureta. Base was chosen because network fees there are typically a few cents, which matters when a video costs $1.29, and because transfers usually confirm in seconds.

Here is the short version of Nureta's pricing, as of September 2026. First video: free with Google sign-in, a single 5-second 480p clip with sound and a small Nureta watermark, no card. After that: $1.29 per 5-second video, or credit bundles of $3.79, $7.99, $15.99 and $39.99, where 10 credits make one 5-second video. Length: from 5 seconds up to about 3 minutes. Renewal: none, since every payment is one-time and approved by you. Paid videos carry no watermark.

Route A is a wallet app. Self-custody wallets such as Coinbase Wallet (now called the Base app) or MetaMask let you buy USDC inside the app with a card or bank transfer, where that is supported in your country, through a built-in provider. Choose USDC, make sure the network shown is Base, and the tokens land in your own wallet. Write down your recovery phrase and keep it offline; anyone who has it controls the wallet.

Route B is an exchange you may already use. Buy USDC on an exchange that supports withdrawals on the Base network, then withdraw it. On the withdrawal screen, choose USDC, then choose Base as the network, and paste the destination address. Double-check that the network says Base before you confirm. Exchanges usually require identity verification, and a withdrawal fee may apply. Some exchanges can also send straight to Nureta's deposit address, which is covered in the next step.

Whichever route you pick, start small. Buy only what you plan to spend on videos, for example enough for a $3.79 bundle plus a little for fees, and send the full amount in one transfer: a smaller test transfer to a Nureta deposit address is not credited automatically. This guide explains how to pay; it is not financial advice, and it is not a recommendation of any exchange or wallet.

Pick a video or a credit bundle and open checkout. Nureta offers two ways to pay. With USDC deposit, which needs no wallet connection, Nureta shows an exact USDC amount and a Base deposit address, as text and as a QR code. Send exactly that amount, on Base, from your wallet app or directly from an exchange. The payment window has a visible countdown; once it closes, do not send. Credits are added automatically once the transfer confirms, usually in under a minute, or your video starts right away.

Paying from an exchange? Choose the One-time top-up · Any amount option on the Pricing page instead of a fixed bundle. You send one transfer of any amount from $5 to $500, and whatever arrives is credited at the best bundle rate it reaches, so an exchange's withdrawal fee only means slightly fewer credits instead of a payment that is not credited. Send it all in one transfer: only the first transfer to a top-up address is credited.

With Wallet, you connect a wallet that holds USDC on Base and approve the payment in it. Nureta handles this through the x402 payment standard, so you do not need a separate gas token to cover the network fee. Either way, there is no card form, no billing address and no stored payment method, and nothing is charged again unless you approve it.

The wrong network is the costly one. USDC sent on Ethereum or any other network instead of Base will not be credited and may be lost for good. The second mistake is sending less than the exact amount shown: an underpayment does not credit automatically, so email [email protected] if it happens. The third is sending after the payment window has closed; start a fresh checkout instead.

Also check which token you send. USDC is not the same as USDT or USDbC, even though the names look alike. And keep your recovery phrase private: Nureta will never ask for it, and nobody legitimate ever will.

Yes. Sign in with Google and your first video is free: one 5-second clip at 480p with sound and a small Nureta watermark, with no card and no crypto. Wallet sign-in works too and shares only a wallet address, but the free video is for Google sign-ups. It is enough to judge the look, the sound and how closely the result follows your prompt before you buy any USDC.

When you pay, the same USDC covers both ways of making a video: pure text-to-video from a story or script with no photos needed, and image-to-video with up to 2 photos of consenting adults. Both run up to about 3 minutes by stitching multiple scenes into one video. Videos are private by default, and you can delete your account at any time; your videos, photos and profile are permanently deleted.
