Get tokens
Platform operations are paid in DPC, the DataPrism credit token. Creating a project costs 1,000 DPC and each data operation costs 100 DPC. The exchange rate is fixed: 1 dollar buys 1,000 DPC, so a project creation is worth about a dollar.
Open Credits from the top bar (the coins icon) to see your balance, the network you are on, and the purchase options.
Buy with a card
- Pick an amount or type a custom one. The page shows exactly how many tokens you will receive.
- Choose Card and complete the Stripe checkout.
- Tokens are minted to your account within a few moments of payment.
Buy with crypto
If your account holds USDC, choose Crypto instead. The app asks for an approval and a purchase transaction, then the exchange contract mints your DPC on the spot. On the Demo network a test USDC faucet is available from the payment page, so you can try this flow without real funds.
Allocate tokens to a project
Tokens live in your account and are spent from a project's balance. After you create a project you can fund it at creation time, or top it up later from the project's Tokens tab.
Next step: create your first project.
