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:
- Exchange Crypto to API Credits: You can deposit any crypto balance (USDT, BTC…) into kazawallet, exchange it to a (USD/USDT/USDC) balance, and use it directly to top up DeepSeek balance using USDT (or other crypto).
- Complete Control: The most important feature for developers is expense control. You can freeze the card after topping up your balance and unfreeze it when needed.
- One Card for All Your Tools: You can use this Visa card for DeepSeek API for all your technical expenses (DeepSeek, Cloudflare, Google Ads…).
- Clear Fees and Limits: A 1.5% top-up fee, and the $200,000 daily limit covers all credit funding needs.
