Accept The Graph (GRT) payments
GRT is the token of The Graph, the indexing protocol that many web3 apps query their data from. easyway accepts GRT on Ethereum with the same checkout and API as ETH and the stablecoins. This page covers the contract that counts, why the network matters more for GRT than for most tokens, and what pricing a sale in a volatile token means.
Token, network and limits
| Token | Network | Contract | Confirmations | Min. withdrawal | Withdrawal fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Graph (GRT) | Ethereum · ERC-20 | 0xc944E90C64B2c07662A292be6244BDf05Cda44a7 | 12 | 27 GRT | 94 GRT (flat) |
This is the GraphToken address in The Graph's own list of protocol contracts for Ethereum mainnet. A "GRT" at any other Ethereum address is not this token.
Ethereum, not Arbitrum
Most of The Graph's protocol activity — indexer staking, delegation rewards and query billing — has moved to Arbitrum One, and GRT there is a different contract (L2GraphToken). Wallets and exchanges often show both under the same name and logo, and some exchanges offer Arbitrum as a GRT withdrawal network next to Ethereum.
Only Ethereum GRT is credited. The checkout labels the coin "Ethereum · ERC-20"; a customer withdrawing from an exchange has to choose the Ethereum (ERC-20) network there. GRT sent on Arbitrum to the same 0x… address lands on another chain and is not seen by the invoice.
Delegated GRT is also not spendable as is: it sits in the staking contract until the holder undelegates, waits out the thawing period and withdraws it to a wallet.
What paying looks like for the customer
The customer picks GRT, gets an amount and a fresh 0x… address with a QR code, and sends exactly that. A personal wallet needs a little ETH for gas; an exchange withdrawal is paid for by the exchange.
easyway tracks the address's GRT balance, so a direct transfer, an exchange batch payout or a multisig all count the same. The invoice is paid after 12 confirmations, usually a few minutes. Transfers under 0.2 GRT are skipped; several larger ones add up. Short or late payments are described in the underpaid and late payments guide.
Price risk and fees
GRT is not a stablecoin, and one GRT is worth a few cents, so invoice amounts run into hundreds or thousands of tokens. On a USD invoice the GRT amount is fixed from the exchange rate when the customer selects the coin; the payment is credited and later withdrawn in GRT, so price changes after that are on your side. An invoice priced directly in GRT (currency = "GRT_ERC20") has no conversion at all.
The platform fee is a flat 0.5% of each confirmed payment: 10000 GRT received leaves 9950 GRT on your balance. The withdrawal fee and minimum are fixed GRT amounts set from the gas of an ERC-20 transfer when GRT was listed. Every coin's numbers are on the pricing page.
Integrating
There is no GRT-specific code: create an invoice with the API (or a payment link if you don't write code), send the customer to the hosted checkout and ship the order when the signed invoice.paid webhook arrives. Runnable examples are in the quickstart; the sandbox guide walks through a test payment.
Common questions
Where is the GRT kept after a payment? On your easyway balance until you withdraw it. Live withdrawals only go to addresses you whitelisted with two-factor authentication; see security.
Which other Ethereum tokens can I accept? ETH (accepting Ethereum), Curve DAO (CRV), Ethena (ENA), Ondo (ONDO), Aave (AAVE), Uniswap (UNI), Chainlink (LINK), DAI and PYUSD and SHIB and PEPE, on the same invoice addresses.
