How CRYPT.PE works.

by the crypt.pe research team · reviewed

There's nothing else quite like this, so we wrote the whole thing down — starting with the questions everyone asks first: where does my money go, which wallet do I need, and is it safe?

01
add your wallet address
public address only — we can never touch your funds
02
share crypt.pe/yourname
the payer scans a qr from most wallets, no sign-up
03
crypto lands in your wallet
we detect it on-chain and issue the receipt
that's the 30-second version — the rest of this page explains every step in plain language.
01
what is CRYPT.PE

One link that gets you paid in crypto — without a middleman.

CRYPT.PE gives you a public payment page at crypt.pe/yourname. You put your wallet addresses on it once. Anyone in the world can open it, scan a QR code, and send you crypto — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDT and 15 more (19 coins) — directly to your wallet, wherever wallet-to-wallet payments are permitted, with no bank account, no sign-up for the payer, and no company sitting between you and your money.

On top of that page you get: exact-amount invoices priced in your local currency, automatic payment detection and receipts, a real-time dashboard, and a developer API. But the core idea stays the same everywhere: we route information, never money.

Who is it for? Freelancers invoicing foreign clients, creators taking tips, online stores adding a crypto option, NGOs accepting donations — anyone who wants to get paid across borders without giving up a percentage or control of their funds.
02
where's my money?

Your money never touches us. Here's the actual flow.

The single most important thing to understand about CRYPT.PE:

1. payer's wallet sends crypto
2. the blockchain settles it (public, verifiable)
3. your wallet receives it. done.
CRYPT.PE watches step 2 and shows you a receipt — that's all.

There is no "CRYPT.PE balance", no platform wallet, no withdrawal button — because your money is never here. It goes from the payer's wallet to yours in one hop, on-chain. That means:

  • Nothing to freeze. We couldn't hold your payout even if ordered to — we never have it.
  • Nothing to withdraw. Funds are already in your wallet the moment the payment confirms.
  • Nothing lost if we vanish. If CRYPT.PE shut down tomorrow, every coin you ever received stays exactly where it is — in your wallet.
The honest trade-off: blockchain payments are final. There are no chargebacks and no "undo". That protects you as a receiver — but it also means a wrong address can't be reversed, which is why we validate every address format before you can save it.
03
is it safe?

What we store, what we never ask for, and what could go wrong.

What CRYPT.PE stores: your email, your public wallet addresses (the same ones you'd print on an invoice), and your payment history metadata. That's it.

What we never store or ask for: private keys, seed phrases, exchange logins, or custody of any funds. Your public address lets people send you money — it can never be used to take it.

If anyone ever asks for your seed phrase or private key — including someone claiming to be CRYPT.PE support — it is a scam. Every time. No exceptions.

"What if my CRYPT.PE account gets hacked?" The worst an attacker could do is change the addresses displayed on your page — they can't touch funds you've already received. We still defend the account hard: two-factor authentication (TOTP), email verification, and email alerts on wallet changes. Enable 2FA in settings — it takes a minute.

"How do I know a payment is real?" Every payment we show links to the transaction on a public block explorer (Etherscan, Solscan, Mempool…). You never have to trust our word — you can verify every satoshi independently, forever.

04
wallets & networks

Most wallets that give you an address work.

CRYPT.PE never connects to, unlocks, or controls your wallet — we only display an address you paste in. So most wallets that support the asset and network work: mobile apps, browser extensions, hardware wallets, even a paper wallet. Popular choices per network:

networkcoinspopular wallets
EVM (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, BNB)ETH, POL, BNB, USDT, USDC…MetaMask, Rabby, Trust Wallet
BitcoinBTCMuun, BlueWallet, Sparrow
SolanaSOL, USDC (SPL)Phantom, Solflare
TronTRX, USDT (TRC-20)TronLink, Trust Wallet
TONTON, USDTTonkeeper
XRP · Litecoin · Dogecoin · Cardano · Polkadot · Bitcoin Cash · Aptos · Suinative coinsXaman, Yoroi, official wallets

13 network families, 19 coins — and for maximum security, hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) work perfectly: paste your hardware wallet's receive address and payments go straight to cold storage.

New to wallets? Start with Trust Wallet or MetaMask (free, mobile). Create the wallet, write your seed phrase on paper (never in a screenshot), copy your address, and paste it into CRYPT.PE. Stablecoins like USDT are the easiest first coin — 1 USDT ≈ 1 US dollar.
05
getting started

Live in under three minutes.

1
Claim your handle
Sign up and pick a username — that becomes your permanent payment URL: crypt.pe/yourname. We'll email you a verification link (verifying unlocks receipts and password recovery).
2
Add a wallet address
In the dashboard's wallets tab, pick a network, paste your address, give it a label. We validate the format instantly so typos can't slip through. Add as many networks as you like.
3
Share your link
That's it — your page is live. Put the link in your bio, invoices, or email signature. Anyone who opens it can scan the QR and pay you directly.
06
your payment page

Your public page: scan, send, done.

Your page shows your name, bio, photo, and a coin picker. When a visitor selects a coin they see your address and a QR code that opens directly in their wallet app. It works for both open amounts (tips, donations — payer chooses how much) and exact invoices (next section).

  • Make it yours: custom accent colour and light/dark theme in settings.
  • Social proof (optional): show your last few received payments as verified receipt links — off by default, toggle in settings.
  • Products: sell fixed-price items with their own shareable pages.
07
invoices & links

Charge an exact amount — priced in YOUR currency.

From the dashboard's invoice tab, type an amount in your local currency — dollars, euros, rupees, whatever you set — pick a coin, and get a link + QR. The payer sees the exact crypto amount quoted at the live exchange rate, so "₹5,000" becomes "0.0021 ETH" without you doing any math.

1
Create
amount + coin → invoice link (takes ~5 seconds).
2
Send
share the link with your client on any channel.
3
Watch it confirm
the invoice page detects the payment on-chain and flips to a receipt automatically — you get notified, they get proof.
Visitors also see prices hinted in their own local currency (auto-detected) — a customer in Berlin sees a € reference even if you invoice in $.
08
getting paid

Payments confirm themselves — usually before you can refresh.

We watch the blockchain for you. Ethereum-family payments typically confirm here in seconds (webhooks); Bitcoin, Solana and Tron within a minute or two. And if a payer just hit send and can't wait, the invoice page has an "already sent? paste your tx hash" box — we fetch that exact transaction on-chain and confirm it near-instantly.

Every confirmed payment produces a permanent receipt page at crypt.pe/r/<tx> with the amount, time, and a link to the transaction on a public block explorer. Send it to clients as proof, keep it for your books — it verifies itself forever.

Get notified your way: email receipts, and (on paid plans) Discord, Telegram, or your own webhook the moment money lands.

09
the dashboard

Everything you've earned, in one live view.

  • Overview: real-time payment feed with smart tags (tip / payment / invoice / whale), totals, and trends.
  • Multi-currency display: see your earnings in USD, EUR, INR, GBP, AED, CAD or AUD — your choice, converted live.
  • Wallets: manage addresses across all 13 networks with labels and verification.
  • Settings: profile, theme, alerts, 2FA, currency — and the support tab right next to it when you need us.
10
for developers

A Stripe-style API — minus the custody.

For stores and apps: create API keys in the gateway tab, then create orders programmatically, redirect customers to a hosted checkout, and receive signed webhooks when payments confirm. There's a WooCommerce plugin and embeddable widget too.

about crypt.pe

01

non-custodial by design

Payments settle wallet-to-wallet on-chain, straight from the payer to your own wallet. crypt.pe never holds, freezes or forwards funds — there is no platform balance and no withdrawal step, and every payment gets a verifiable on-chain receipt.

02

0% transaction fees

Plans are flat subscriptions with a free tier — compare that with the 1–2% charged by custodial processors. One page accepts 19 supported assets — including Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and Solana — across 13 networks, with simple pricing and no payout schedule.

03

tools merchants actually use

Exact-amount invoices with live tracking, product links, printable QR standees, HMAC-signed webhooks, CSV exports and a Stripe-style API — see the merchant guides or create your free page in about a minute.

04

how a payment works

You add wallet addresses you already own, share your crypt.pe link or QR code, and the customer pays from their own wallet. crypt.pe locks the amount at invoice time, watches the chain, matches the transaction and issues a receipt both sides can verify on a block explorer — software around the payment, never in the money flow.

05

available wherever wallet-to-wallet payments are permitted

Because settlement is on-chain to your own wallet, there is no bank partnership gating access and no account that can be closed over geography — local crypto rules still apply. crypt.pe publishes country guides for 60 markets and is available where wallet-to-wallet payments are legally permitted.

06

stablecoin-first, volatility optional

Accept USDT or USDC and a $100 invoice locks to a fixed token amount that targets a $1 peg — value movement between creation and payment stays minimal, though stablecoins can temporarily depeg, and issuer, liquidity and network risks remain. Prefer BTC, ETH or SOL? Token amounts are locked at invoice time either way, and your dashboard records the USD value of every payment for clean bookkeeping. Questions?
