Buying Credits¶

The buying credits option allows users to purchase credits, which act as the primary currency for various actions with Unbox’s technology. This straightforward process ensures that users always have the resources they need to engage in mints, token creation, and other activities.

What is the Price of Credits?¶

The cost of credits reflects the fees associated with each network. Some networks have a higher fees than others, ensure you use the right network for your purpose! Please note Credits are not refundable.

What do I need Credits For?¶

Transaction Fees:¶

• This fee rewards network operators, maintaining the network’s decentralization and security. Part of your transaction fee is distributed to stake pool operators, enabling the network to function.

Note: Think of this as your “gas fee” (A gas fee is a small charge paid to process and validate transactions on a blockchain network.¶

Collateral:¶

• Collateral is the minimum amount required in your wallet to execute a transaction. It safeguards the network against malicious activity and is refunded immediately once your transaction is confirmed. This amount is temporarily added to every transaction. Think of it as a small security deposit that you get back immediately after completing your transaction.

Note: if a transaction fails you will not get back your collateral, but due to determinism this is a highly unlikely scenario.¶

Deposit:¶

• The deposit is required for using the network. It is embedded into every token you mint and is returned when those tokens are burned. It’s similar to the coin you use in a supermarket trolley—necessary to start but refundable when you’re done.
