We want permanent storage to be easy to get started with, and that idea guided our first payment option in Auto Drive, Pay with AI3 . It works well, but until now, anyone who needed more than the free tier had to acquire AI3 before they could buy additional storage, and for many people that extra step was a barrier. Today we are introducing Pay with USDC, which lets users purchase Auto Drive storage credits with USDC on Ethereum, a stablecoin many people already hold.
