For online transactions, a fast cryptocurrency is required. Popular coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum do not make great checkout coins because transactions are slower and fees can spike. This is why we use Solana. It is extremely fast and very cheap to transact with, making it ideal for online payments and creator payouts. For U.S. users, PayPal’s Solana wallet provides one of the easiest ways to get into crypto for both performers and fans.

Beyond PayPal, performers will need a crypto exchange that supports Solana deposits and allows fiat withdrawals to a bank account or card. If you set up an exchange in your country that supports Solana (SOL) deposits and fiat cash-out, you can receive extremely fast payouts from Steamy Drop and convert them to your local currency quickly. KYC (identity verification) will be required to withdraw fiat currency. This is normal and required by law for exchanges that connect to banks. Below is a list of major exchanges worldwide that support Solana trading or deposits and allow conversion to fiat currency.
