What the Solana blockchain shows when you pay for an eSIM with Solana (SOL), what your exchange knows, why address reuse matters, and the network you must use. No ID, no email at checkout.

**Quick answer**

Paying for an eSIM with Solana reveals your Solana address, the SOL amount, the fee and the time to anyone who reads the Solana blockchain, along with that address's other transfers and tokens. **UnlistedSIM**, a no-ID eSIM seller paid in crypto, accepts **Solana (SOL)** with no ID and no email at checkout, a top-up from $10 and eSIMs from $1.09. We see the amount and the transaction ID, never an ID document.

## What does the Solana blockchain show about a Solana payment?

It shows the transaction to anyone, with no login and no time limit.

A Solana transaction lists every account it touches, including the account that pays the fee. A SOL payment shows the sending address, the receiving address, the amount, the time and the fee. Solana's documentation says every transaction pays its fee in SOL: a base fee of 5,000 lamports per signature, plus an optional priority fee.

Solana uses accounts. Your wallet address keeps one public history of its SOL transfers, and the token accounts attached to it show which tokens it holds.

The blockchain never shows your UnlistedSIM account number, your eSIM or your destination. Those exist only in our records, which are described field by field on [what we collect](https://unlistedsim.com/what-we-collect/).

## Does paying with Solana from an exchange reveal my identity?

To the exchange, yes: the exchange is usually the biggest leak, not the blockchain.

If you withdraw SOL from an exchange straight to our deposit address, the exchange records the withdrawal against your verified account: destination, amount and time. Check that the amount that arrives is exactly the amount shown, after any withdrawal fee, because top-ups are matched by their exact amount.

Exchanges verify their customers' identity under anti-money-laundering rules. Guidance from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) also asks exchanges and other virtual-asset service providers to collect originator and beneficiary information for transfers, the so-called travel rule. A payment sent from an exchange account is therefore tied to a verified name in at least one database, whatever the coin.

## Does reusing a Solana address link my payments?

Yes. Every payment from the same address is visible in one list, to anyone who looks.

Your Solana address is reused for every payment unless you create another one. A new address needs SOL for its fees, and the transfer that funds it links it to the first wallet. Keeping a separate address only for payments limits what one payment exposes about the rest of your holdings.

Our deposit addresses are fixed per network and shared by all customers. Anyone who knows that address can see every payment it receives, but not which account each payment credited. Treat it as an address that can be linked to UnlistedSIM: we never print it on this site, and it appears only on the payment page of your account.

## Which network should I use to send Solana?

Send only on **Solana**, and pick that same network both on the payment page and in your wallet or exchange.

> **Send SOL on Solana only** Send native SOL on the Solana network only. Tokens on Solana (USDC, USDT or any other SPL token) are not accepted, and SOL wrapped or bridged to another chain is not credited. Check the network twice before you send: a payment on the wrong network or in the wrong coin cannot be matched to your top-up.

## When is Solana a good choice for an eSIM payment?

**Good for:** Payments with very low network fees and a single required confirmation, from a Solana wallet.

**Watch out:** Only native SOL is accepted: tokens on Solana are not. The SOL price moves, so send the exact amount shown while the payment page still holds it.

Whatever the coin, the top-up goes to a prepaid balance. The eSIM is bought from it, and the QR code and activation code appear in your account as soon as the eSIM is ready. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable.

## How can I pay with Solana more privately?

Use ordinary, legitimate habits that keep a payment separate from the rest of your financial life:

1. **Pay from a wallet you control**, not straight from an exchange account.
2. **Use an address you have never published**: not one from a social media profile, a donation page or an invoice.
3. **Keep payment addresses apart from savings and income.** On coins that use accounts, one address shows everything it has ever done.
4. **Keep the transaction ID private.** Posted in public, it links your address to this payment.
5. **Remember what no coin changes**: the mobile network still sees your device (IMEI) and approximate location. Private checkout is not network anonymity; see [who sees what](https://unlistedsim.com/who-sees-what/).

UnlistedSIM does not accept Monero (XMR). The [pay privately guide](https://unlistedsim.com/pay-privately/) compares what each accepted coin reveals.

## How do I top up with Solana?

The same five steps apply to every coin. For Solana, pick **Solana** on the payment page.

1. **Top up $10 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes.
2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount.
3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account.
4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times:
5. **One balance for every product** — If you started from a plan, the eSIM is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and its QR code appears in your account. What is left stays on your balance for top-ups and other destinations. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new eSIMs and top-ups, but it is not refundable.

| Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min |
| Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min |
| Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min |
| Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min |

Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again.

## Paying for an eSIM with Solana: FAQ

### Can I buy an eSIM with Solana without ID?

Yes. UnlistedSIM asks for no ID document, no selfie, no ID number and no email. You top up a prepaid balance with Solana (SOL) from $10, then buy the eSIM from that balance. A random account number is your login. Some countries have local SIM registration rules; the [Travel eSIM ID Registry](https://unlistedsim.com/travel-esim-id-registry/) lists them with sources.

### Is paying with Solana anonymous?

No. The Solana blockchain is public: it shows the sending address, the amount and the time to anyone. Your name is not on it, but an exchange that knows your address, or a past payment, can link it to you. We ask for no ID and no email at checkout, yet we keep the coin, the network, the amount and the transaction ID once a top-up is matched.

### How many confirmations does a Solana top-up need?

The Solana network must confirm the transaction 1 times before your balance is credited. The table in the payment steps above shows the usual time per network. If you started from a plan, the eSIM is bought from the balance as soon as the top-up is credited, and its QR code appears in your account when it is ready.

### Who pays the Solana network fee?

You do. The fee is paid in SOL by the sending wallet, on top of the amount shown on the payment page, and it is not taken from your UnlistedSIM balance. Keep enough SOL in the wallet. If an exchange takes its withdrawal fee from the amount, the payment arrives short and cannot be matched by its exact amount.

### Can other customers see that I paid?

They can see that a payment reached our address, not that it came from you. Our Solana deposit address is shared by all customers, so anyone who knows it can look up every payment it receives. Nobody can tell from the chain which account a payment credited, or who sent it, without already knowing your address. Only our records link a transaction to an account. We answer only legally binding orders under the law of Panama, where the operating company is registered.

### What happens if I send Solana on the wrong network?

It cannot be matched to your top-up, and it may be lost. Send SOL on Solana only, and pick the same network on the payment page and in your wallet. If you made a mistake, contact support from your account before sending anything else. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week, including help with installing and activating your eSIM.
