Getting paid

How and when you get paid — the take-rate, minimums, and the approval-to-chain flow.


You earn on every billable impression and click your zones serve. Earnings accrue to your balance as events settle, and you withdraw them by requesting a payout.

The take-rate

We keep a flat 20% of what an advertiser pays; you receive the other 80%. That split is published and applied to every transaction — it is not a range, and it does not change based on volume. It's the whole reason a one-event-log exchange can reconcile: the same event that bills the advertiser credits you, minus the take.

Requesting a payout

  • Minimum. The smallest payout we'll process is $0.10. Below that, your balance simply carries forward until it clears the minimum.
  • Where it goes. Add a payout address first — a Bitcoin (BTC) address or a USDC-on-Base address. You choose the rail when you request.
  • Approval. Every payout is reviewed and approved by an admin before it sends. When you request one, the amount is reserved against your balance so it can't be double-spent while it's in the queue.
  • On-chain. Once approved, the payout is sent on-chain and the transaction hash is recorded against it. You can follow that hash on a block explorer to confirm the funds arrived — the same hash we reconcile against.

Timing

Because payouts are approved by a person, they are not instant. A request sits in the queue until it's reviewed. Once approved and broadcast, arrival depends on the network you chose. If a payout ever fails to send, the reservation is released back to your balance and you can request again.
