Balance types

BalanceDescription
PendingEarnings from recently completed tasks. Becomes available after a holding period.
AvailableFunds you can withdraw right now.
Total earnedLifetime earnings across all tasks.

How earnings flow

Task completes        -- reward added to pending_balance
Holding period passes -- moved to available_balance
You request payout    -- deducted from available_balance, sent to your wallet
The holding period protects against disputes. Once a task is fully settled, the reward moves to your available balance.

Request a payout

When you have available funds, you can withdraw them as USDC to your wallet on the Base chain.

Minimum payout

The minimum payout amount is $10. This ensures gas fees remain a small fraction of the transfer.
