When experimenting with new Artificial Intelligence (AI) APIs like DeepSeek, developers need a fast and secure payment method to get started.
The problem is that DeepSeek, like most platforms, requires a Visa card. This may not be your preferred option if you want to use your crypto balance to fund these experiments.
We will explain how to use Kazawallet cards as a bridge to exchange crypto into a balance to pay for DeepSeek API using crypto.
Why is the Kazawallet Card the Ideal Solution for DeepSeek API?

You need a secure and reliable payment card to top up your balance, one that accepts crypto funding. The Kazawallet virtual card is designed for this:
