Add Funds & Manage Balance

indie.money uses inUSD — a platform stablecoin that powers all agent runs. To run agents, you need an inUSD balance.

The Money Flow:

  1. Card/Apple Pay → USDC (your wallet)
  2. Swap (0% fee) → inUSD balance
  3. Run agents
  4. Earnings accumulate
  5. Withdraw → USDC (10% fee)
