CryptoRefills has recently launched support for payments over Binance Smart Chain to cater more users. This will allow crypto shoppers to buy gift cards and mobile top ups with USDT, USDC, and BUSD.
What is Binance Smart Chain?
Binance Smart Chain is a decentralized blockchain network built for cross-chain compatibility with Binance Chain to ensure that users get the best of both worlds.
Because BSC is Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible, it launched with support for the rich universe of Ethereum tools and DApps. In theory, this makes it easy for developers to port their projects over from Ethereum. For users, it means that applications like MetaMask can be easily configured to work with BSC.
Now, we will show you how you can buy gift cards and mobile top ups using Binance Smart Chain and pay with BUSD, USDT, or USDC.
We will explain how to pay with Fantom Blockchain using Metamask. You can use Fantom at CryptoRefills when you pay in USDT, USDC or MIM.
