This guide walks you through exactly how to purchase a prop firm challenge using crypto, specifically USDC on Ethereum, using Coinbase as the sending wallet and Confirmo as the payment processor.
Step 1: Select Your Challenge
-
Go through the challenge purchase process as you normally would on the prop firm’s website.
-
Choose your account size, platform, and any other required options.
-
Always apply your discount code before moving forward.
Step 2: Continue to Payment & Select Crypto
-
Click “Continue to Payment.”
-
Choose Crypto as your payment method.
-
When prompted, select USDC.
-
Choose Ethereum (ERC-20) as the network.
Important: Make sure the network you select on the prop firm checkout matches the network you send from (Ethereum in this case).
Step 3: Copy the Confirmo Payment Details
Once you’re redirected to Confirmo:
-
Copy the wallet address provided.
-
Copy the exact payment amount shown.
These two details must be copied exactly to avoid payment issues.
Step 4: Open Coinbase & Prepare the Transfer
-
Open Coinbase.
-
Select Send / Transfer Crypto.
-
Choose USDC.
-
Paste the Confirmo wallet address into the recipient field.
-
Confirm that:
-
The token is USDC
-
The network is Ethereum (ERC-20)
-
Step 5: Enter the Exact Amount (Very Important)
-
Paste the exact amount from Confirmo into Coinbase.
Rounding Tip (Critical)
-
Coinbase may automatically round the amount.
-
Always check the cents:
-
If Coinbase rounds down, the payment may be short by a fraction of a cent.
-
This can cause the transaction to fail or not complete.
-
-
Always round UP to the nearest cent, never down.
Example:
-
If Confirmo shows
$250.1234 -
Make sure Coinbase sends
$250.13, not$250.12
Step 6: Preview & Send
-
Click Preview.
-
Confirm:
-
Token: USDC
-
Network: Ethereum
-
Amount: Correct and rounded up
-
-
Click Send Now.
This amount represents the total challenge cost.
Step 7: Transaction Confirmation
-
Coinbase may prompt you to confirm via the mobile app (sometimes it doesn’t).
-
Once sent:
-
Return to the Confirmo page.
-
You’ll see the transaction begin confirming on the blockchain.
-
-
Confirmation usually takes a few minutes.
Step 8: Receive Your Login Credentials
-
After the transaction confirms:
-
The prop firm processes the payment.
-
You’ll receive your account login credentials by email.
