Crypto Payment for Research Peptides: BTC, ETH, USDT Explained
- USDT minimizes price volatility during the lock window.
- LTC is usually the fastest and cheapest network option.
- The rate lock protects the quoted amount as long as confirmation lands in time.
Synedica is a crypto-only supplier. Card processors regularly close research-peptide merchant accounts citing "regulated material risk" — even though our products are legal research material. Crypto eliminates the processor as a single point of failure.
| Coin | Typical speed | Fee profile | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTC | Moderate | Medium | You want the most universal wallet support |
| ETH | Fast | Higher | You want faster finality and already use Ethereum |
| USDT | Fast | Depends on network | You want stablecoin pricing with less volatility |
| LTC | Fastest in practice | Low | You want cheap, fast checkout with simple confirmations |
The four currencies we accept
- BTC (Bitcoin) — most universally available, slower confirmations (~30 min for 2 blocks).
- ETH (Ethereum) — faster (~3-5 min for 2 confirmations), higher network fees.
- USDT (Tether) — stablecoin, no exchange-rate exposure during waiting period.
- LTC (Litecoin) — fastest and cheapest network fees.
How the 30-minute rate-lock works
The moment you select a coin at checkout, we fetch the live GBP/coin rate from CoinGecko and lock it for 30 minutes. The exact crypto amount you must send is displayed and copyable. As long as the network confirms within that window, the rate stands — even if the market moves.
Step-by-step guide
- At checkout, click your preferred coin.
- Copy the wallet address (use the copy button — never type addresses by hand).
- In your wallet app, paste the address and the exact amount shown.
- Send. You'll see a status indicator on the checkout page.
- Once 2 network confirmations are received, your order moves to "Preparing" and ships on the next dispatch day.
Privacy advantages
We never see your card details, your bank, or your real name from the payment side. We do collect a verified shipping address (because we have to ship somewhere), but the link between your wallet and your shipping address is held only on our private encrypted infrastructure.
If a supplier accepts cards but quietly ships from "Health & Wellness LLC" through a euphemistic merchant account, walk away. They are one chargeback away from disappearing with your reorder.
