# Data Credits

## What are the Data credits?

Data Credits are a prepaid balance used within the Chirp ecosystem.

They can be used for:

* Service fees
* SIM card top-ups
* Reward claims
* Additional use cases coming soon

1 Data Credit = $0.01 USD

Data Credits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

They appear in your transaction history (e.g. when claiming rewards).
