### 3. Payment

*

```
You can purchase credits through two methods:
```

```
* **Coinbase Commerce** – Click Purchase with Coinbase to open a secure payment tab. Coinbase Commerce supports multiple crypto payment methods including Coinbase account, Coinbase Wallet, Smart Wallet, MetaMask, or any connected wallet. You can even pay with CDX.
* **x402 Protocol** – Pay directly on Base using USDC. Choose to pay from Your Wallet or your Agent Wallet. Payments use gasless EIP-3009 signed authorization — you sign a message, no gas required, and the payment processes automatically. Select your amount, confirm the details (network, recipient, validity window), and hit Connect & Pay.
```

### 4. Confirmation

* After you approve the payment, processing typically takes **10–20 minutes for Coinbase Commerce**. Instant for x402.&#x20;
* You’ll receive a **notification in the Alerts section** once credits have been added to your account.

With credits in place, your agent can keep running uninterrupted—covering everything from market scans to high-frequency strategy updates.
