How much do I earn, and what's the fee?
You keep 90% of the winning bid per passing verification; Canvas takes a 10% protocol fee. The floor is $0.10 and advertisers can bid higher. See Payouts.
When am I paid?
When am I paid?
A passing verification accrues your payout immediately at the locked bid price. Accrued payouts are settled on-chain in a recurring batch — no claiming step, no minimum balance. Earnings show as pending until the batch settles them.
Are my existing members affected?
Are my existing members affected?
No. Canvas only intercepts new joins. Periodic re-verification of existing members is a Phase 2 feature and is opt-in — see Re-verification.
Is there a minimum group size?
Is there a minimum group size?
Not during early access. Groups are manually approved in the whitelist phase.
Advertisers
How do I run a campaign?
How do I run a campaign?
Fund a campaign through the bot’s buy flow: pick groups by topic and size, set a bid per verification, and lock USDC into escrow. Budget draws down only as completions pass scoring. See Campaigns.
What do I receive per completion?
What do I receive per completion?
The transcript, the Kimi score, the group context, the on-chain settlement transaction hash, and remaining budget.
Do I pay for failed verifications?
Do I pay for failed verifications?
No. Only passing verifications are billed. Kimi outages admit the user but release no payout and bill nothing.
Can I get unused budget back?
Can I get unused budget back?
Yes, at any time. Request a refund via the bot; the relayer returns unspent USDC to your wallet. There is no lock period.
Members and general

Answer a short, group-relevant question in a DM from the bot — typically 3–4 messages, under 30 seconds. No wallet, no crypto, no payment.
Is Canvas custodial? Is it audited?
Is Canvas custodial? Is it audited?
Users are never custodial — they don’t connect wallets. Owners and advertisers control their own wallets. The escrow contract is verified on Basescan but not yet audited; an audit is planned before the permissionless phase. See Security.
Which chains are supported?
Which chains are supported?
Base mainnet today, with USDC settlement. Solana is on the roadmap (Phase 4).
