USDC and GmodStore join card payments

You can now add funds to your ChrononLabs balance with USDC, alongside card payments. Garry’s Mod subscriptions bought on GmodStore are also credited to your dashboard balance once you connect your Steam account. Paying by card or USDC on chrononlabs.net costs less than buying through GmodStore. The lifetime plan is retired and no longer sold. This post explains how each option works.

Paying with USDC

The Balance page in your dashboard accepts USDC. To pay with it:

1. Open the Balance page and choose Add funds.
2. Enter the amount in euros and choose to pay with USDC.
3. Copy the one-time deposit address from the payment page and send the exact USDC amount on one of the networks shown at checkout.
4. Wait for the payment to be confirmed on chain. Your balance is credited once the payment is finalized.

The euro amount is converted to USDC at the European Central Bank's daily EUR/USD reference rate and rounded up to a whole USDC cent.

Each deposit address belongs to one payment. Send the exact amount within 1 hour. Payments are watched for up to 3 days after you create them, so a late or partial payment is still picked up.

The payment page shows live status: waiting, detected, partially paid, complete or expired. You can have up to 5 open crypto payments on your account at a time.

Buying through GmodStore

Garry’s Mod subscriptions can also be bought on GmodStore. ChrononLabs keeps completed GmodStore payments, including payments made before you created a ChrononLabs account, so you do not need to buy again. To add them to your balance:

1. Create an account or sign in.
2. Verify your email address.
3. Connect the Steam account you used on GmodStore.

Saved payments are then added to your dashboard balance automatically.

GmodStore plans cost more than adding the same amount on chrononlabs.net. For example, the one-server monthly plan costs $39 on GmodStore and adds €25 to your balance, while a €25 top-up by card or USDC on the Balance page costs €25. Use GmodStore if you prefer to pay there. Otherwise, topping up directly is cheaper.

If a payment is missing, contact support with your GmodStore order reference. Do not subscribe again to retry. The GmodStore page has the setup steps.

Paying by card

Card payments through Stripe work as before. Choose Add funds on the Balance page and pay by card, the same as with USDC. Whichever way you add funds, the money goes to your dashboard balance and pays for servers like any other top-up. Pricing is still per server, and the pricing page lists the current prices.
