FAQs

Anyone can sign up for Circle’s wallet as a service offering and begin building immediately. Get started for free here.

No, you don’t need Circle Mint to use our wallet as a service offering. Get started by creating a free account for Wallets.

Note: Circle Mint is an institutional on/offramp service with limited availability only for large-scale enterprises and financial institutions.

‍

You'll be charged per Monthly Active Wallet (MAW) on a pay-as-you-go basis and billed in monthly arrears.

A rebate of $0.01 is automatically applied to every monthly active wallet containing at least 10 USDC throughout the month. Rebates are not applied to the first 1,000 eligible wallets as these are free to the customer. Learn more about our developer platform fee schedule.

‍

User-controlled: Enable end users to sign transactions directly and maintain control over their funds. Ideal for businesses with crypto-native end users. See docs.‍

Developer-controlled: Sign transactions and custody funds for internal operations or on behalf of end users. Ideal for businesses with mainstream end users. See docs.‍

Both types can be created as externally-owned accounts (EOAs) or smart contract accounts (SCAs).

Modular: Developers can customize the wallets’ key, paymaster, and blockchain infrastructure for various use cases

Modular Wallets are based on modular smart contract accounts (MSCAs).

Multi-party computation (MPC) is a form of cryptographic encryption that splits up a private key into unique components that can be distributed across multiple parties. This helps protect against accidental or unauthorized misuse of funds. Learn more about Wallets security setup.

Monthly active wallet (MAW): a wallet address created with Wallets that has conducted an on-chain transaction within the month period, such as initial wallet creation or sending or receiving funds.

USDC monthly active wallet (USDC MAW): a wallet address that has held at least 10 USDC at all times within the month period and has conducted an on-chain transaction, such as initial wallet creation or sending or receiving funds.

Developers that build apps with USDC MAWs can earn rebates on pricing for Wallets.

Gas Station supports Smart Contract Accounts (SCAs) on EVM-compatible chains and Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) on Solana and Aptos.

On EVM-compatible chains, Circle uses ERC-4337 to enable gas sponsorship, which applies only to SCAs.

Solana and Aptos do not support EVM-style SCAs. Instead, gas sponsorship is handled using the feePayer mechanism with EOAs. Circle’s Gas Station supports this model, allowing developers to sponsor gas fees on behalf of users with EOAs.

Yes, Gas Station charges will include the cost of the network gas fees that you’ve sponsored in USD plus a 5% fee on that cost, and the application of local taxes. Learn more about how Gas Station is billed.
