- Follow on-screen instructions: for crypto, select currency and send to the provided wallet; for Stripe, enter card details; for bank/Wise, use provided account details.

Minimum Deposit for Account Activation
To activate an advertiser account on Blockchain-Ads, the minimum initial deposit is $10,000. This starting budget ensures campaigns have enough spend to generate meaningful impressions, clicks, and conversions so the Nexus optimization engine can properly learn, test audiences, and scale performance.
With smaller budgets, the system may not receive sufficient data to optimize bids, identify high-intent users, or unlock the full value of blockchain-verified targeting, which is why accounts are activated only once the $10,000 funding threshold is met.
Best Practices: Use cryptocurrency for instant processing, ideal for high-volume spenders; add funds in bulk to cover average monthly spends of $200K+; monitor balance in HUB to avoid campaign interruptions; request a prepayment invoice for large deposits.
Troubleshooting: Funds not showing? Check transaction status (hash for crypto, reference for bank). Sent to wrong wallet? Contact support@blockchain-ads.com immediately. Payment failed? Retry or switch methods. Bank delay? Allow 3 business days.

FAQs
Is the $10,000 a monthly budget?
No. The $10,000 is a one-time minimum deposit required to activate your advertiser account. It unlocks full platform access and can be spent at your own pace. How quickly you use it depends on how many campaigns you run and how you set daily budgets. A separate minimum daily ad spend of $360 per active campaign ensures each campaign has enough volume for optimization and meaningful results.
What payment methods are available?
Blockchain-Ads accepts cryptocurrency ( including BTC, ETH, USDT, and other major coins), credit card payments through Stripe, and bank transfers via traditional banking or Wise. You can use any method at signup or to top up your balance later, and mix methods as needed across deposits.
How fast do funds appear?
Crypto payments (via NowPayments) and Stripe card payments typically appear in your HUB balance instantly or within a few minutes once the transaction is confirmed. Bank transfers and Wise deposits usually take 1–3 business days to process and reflect in your account. If funds haven't appeared after the expected window, check your payment confirmation or contact support.
What are the minimum and maximum deposits?
The minimum initial deposit is $10,000, which is required to activate your advertiser account and unlock full platform access. After activation, you can add funds in any amount. There is no upper deposit limit, but if you plan to deposit $1M or more in a single transaction, contact support in advance so the team can coordinate processing and ensure a smooth experience.
