Two sides, one contract

Built for both ends of the deal.

Same escrow, same guarantees — here's what each side actually does.

1
🔍

Browse & hire

Pick a creator, describe the job, set the rate — locking USDC in escrow the moment you confirm.

2
📤

They deliver

The creator does the work and submits proof — a link, a screenshot, engagement metrics.

3
✅

You approve

Funds release instantly, minus a flat 1%. Not happy? The 48h window is there to review first.

1
✦

List your profile

Set your rate, link your socials, go live — one on-chain transaction, no approval queue.

2
🔒

Get hired, guaranteed

Funds are already locked in escrow before you start. The money is real before you deliver a thing.

3
💸

Get paid, same day

Brand approves, or 48 hours pass and it releases automatically. Every profile shows your real local time — "same day" actually means your day.

Why on-chain escrow

The parts that usually go wrong — solved by code.

No platform support ticket can un-send a wire transfer. A smart contract just doesn't have that failure mode.

🔒

Locked before work starts

Brands can't ghost after delivery, creators can't get stiffed after posting. The USDC is already committed.

⏱

48-hour auto-release

No response from a brand doesn't mean no payment. Anyone can trigger the release once the window closes.

💸

1% fee, full stop

No hidden platform cut, no card processor eating into rates. What's locked minus 1% is what arrives.

🌍

Timezone-honest

Every profile shows the creator's real local time. Same-day settlement really does mean the same day.

FAQ

Common questions.

More detail — including disputes and account help — lives in the in-app Support Center.

A brand locks USDC into the InfluenceEscrow smart contract when hiring a creator. The creator delivers and submits proof; the brand approves and the contract releases 99% to the creator and 1% to Influence — automatically, on-chain, with no manual payout step on either side.
48 hours after proof is submitted, anyone can trigger an automatic release to the creator. A brand going silent can't hold funds hostage indefinitely.
Influence runs on Arc Testnet right now — Circle's public test network for Arc, using testnet USDC with no real-world value. Every transaction is genuinely on-chain and verifiable, funded via the public Circle faucet rather than real deposits.
Listing a profile is self-serve and open to anyone. The "✓ Verified" badge is granted by the Influence team after manually confirming a creator's identity and social presence — request it from the in-app Support Center.
1% of the deal, deducted automatically when funds release — enforced by the contract itself (FEE_BPS = 100), not a policy that can quietly change. No listing fees, no subscription.
