Supported cryptocurrencies
A fresh deposit address is generated for each top-up. Unused addresses expire after 24 hours.
Bitcoin
The most widely held cryptocurrency. On-chain BTC deposits credit after 1 network confirmation. If you hold BTC on an exchange, you can send directly to your deposit address without converting.
Lightning Network
Bitcoin over Lightning is the fastest way to top up - deposits credit in under a second with near-zero fees. Ideal for smaller top-ups where on-chain fees would be disproportionate..
Ethereum
Ethereum is fast and widely available on every major exchange and wallet. If you're already in the Ethereum ecosystem, topping up with ETH requires no conversion - just send from your wallet or exchange.
USD Coin
A USD-pegged stablecoin. Since your bithost balance is denominated in USD, depositing USDC means no exchange rate conversion - 10 USDC adds exactly $10.00 to your balance. Good for predictable budgeting.
Litecoin
Litecoin is one of the oldest and most liquid alternative coins. It confirms faster than Bitcoin on-chain and typically has lower transaction fees, making it a popular BTC alternative for smaller deposits.
Dogecoin
Dogecoin has 1-minute block times and very low transaction fees, making it practical for everyday payments. It's widely available on major exchanges and straightforward to send.
XRP
XRP settles in seconds with minimal fees. If your exchange holdings are in XRP, you can deposit directly without converting to another coin first. One of the fastest settlement times of any coin we accept.
Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash is designed for low-fee on-chain transactions. It shares Bitcoin's block time but typically has much lower fees, which can make a meaningful difference on larger top-ups.
Dash
Dash features fast block times and optional PrivateSend mixing, which routes transactions through multiple masternodes before they settle. A solid choice if enhanced transaction privacy is a priority.
Zcash
Zcash supports shielded transactions using zero-knowledge proofs, which hide the sender, recipient, and amount on the blockchain. The strongest on-chain privacy option among the coins we accept.
Bitcoin SV
Bitcoin SV is supported for users who hold BSV and prefer not to convert before topping up. Deposits credit after 1 confirmation, the same as on-chain BTC.
EOS
EOS uses a delegated proof-of-stake model with fast block finality. If you hold EOS on an exchange or in a wallet, it's a quick way to get credit onto your account without a long wait for confirmations.
Solana
Solana offers some of the fastest transaction finality of any major chain - typically under a second - with very low fees. If you hold SOL, it's one of the quickest ways to get your balance topped up and a server running.
