What you are actually promised

Stated once, enforced by the ledger.

The buyer is funded before your machine does anything

Escrow is held before dispatch. You are never running someone else’s job on credit.

Your price is your price

You publish the hourly rate. Nothing re-prices it, and no auction pushes it down at the moment of sale.

One fee

Fifteen percent of the total, taken out of it. No listing fee, no featured tier, no payout charge.

Capacity is metered, not estimated

Units bought are units billed, and the job log is part of the delivery.

Every step is a state in the ledger, and the escrow behind the order does not move until the delivery carries its evidence.

Money without mystery

Every cent has a state.

Acceptance releases 85 percent of the total into your balance and records 15 percent to the platform. Payout requests reserve balance atomically.

85% you15% platform

Escrow is funded before work starts and released only on acceptance. A dispute can refund, release, or split the exact total without creating or losing cents.
