NewRouters supports USDT payments for account credit top-ups. Use the signed-in recharge page to see the payment options currently available to your account. Credits fund eligible API usage; adding balance does not by itself enable every model or change its request contract.
Before creating a payment
Section titled “Before creating a payment”Choose your credit package or custom amount in the recharge page, then select USDT when the option is available. Choose a network from the options displayed there. A network mentioned elsewhere, or supported by your wallet, is not evidence that it is available for this order.
The checkout checks a network-specific minimum. If the selected amount is below that minimum or the quote is unavailable, follow the current page message before proceeding. This guide does not publish a fixed minimum, exchange rate or fee: the order and your sending wallet provide the information needed for that payment.
Check the current order before sending
Section titled “Check the current order before sending”Use the order created for this top-up. Verify these fields together:
| Order detail | What to check |
|---|---|
| Asset and network | Send USDT using the exact network shown on the order; an address alone does not identify the correct network. |
| Amount | Use the displayed USDT amount, including its decimal places. After any wallet or exchange withdrawal fee is deducted, the USDT amount actually received must match the order’s amount due. |
| Address | Copy the current order’s payment address and verify it in the sending wallet. Do not reuse an address from an earlier order or a tutorial. |
| Memo or tag | If the order shows an additional memo/tag, include it as instructed. |
| Payment window | Follow the current order’s deadline. A countdown is not a promise of blockchain confirmation time. |
The checkout QR code represents the payment address. Scanning it does not replace checking the network, amount and any required memo. This guide deliberately contains no recharge address.
Confirm that credits were added
Section titled “Confirm that credits were added”Keep the order number and review the same order after sending. A wallet submission or transaction confirmation is not the same as the platform marking the recharge complete.
| Checkout state | Next step |
|---|---|
| Creating order | Wait for the result; if creation cannot be confirmed, contact support before retrying. |
| Awaiting transfer | Review the order details before sending. If you already sent funds, do not pay again simply because the screen has not changed. |
| Confirming transfer | Wait for the existing payment to be processed. |
| Payment complete / Credits added | Check the updated balance and recharge record. |
| Needs review | Provide the order number to support and do not repeat payment. |
No fixed arrival time is promised. If the payment window has ended, the amount differs from the order, or the transfer used the wrong details, contact support for review rather than assuming an automatic credit or refund. Keep the order number and transaction reference; never send a wallet seed phrase, private key or API key to resolve a recharge question.
Changing networks or returning later
Section titled “Changing networks or returning later”Use Close order / change network only when you have not sent funds. Do not pay the old address after closing that order. If you already sent funds, wait for confirmation or contact support instead of replacing the order and paying again.
The recharge interface can restore an existing order. Reopen and check it rather than assuming a closed browser tab cancelled the transfer. If new USDT payments are unavailable, an existing order can still need processing; review that order or contact support.
From balance to your first API request
Section titled “From balance to your first API request”After confirming your balance, follow the API quickstart, LLM tutorials or image and video tutorials. For usage planning, see LLM cost reconciliation and media batch budgeting. Funding the account and paying for individual API usage are separate steps: check the current model price and permissions before generation.
