How the service works
From posting an errand to getting paid, and what to keep in mind along the way.
How an errand works
If you are the client
- Post the errand: what, where, the amount in USDC, the due date and how long you need to check.
- Providers apply. Read their profiles and choose one.
- Pay: sign the steps in your wallet. The money is locked in the escrow, not sent to the provider.
- The provider submits proof. Check it in time and approve.
- If no proof arrives by the deadline, you can take the money back.
If you are the provider
- Add your areas and languages in your profile, then apply to errands you can do.
- When you are chosen and the client has paid, do the errand.
- Submit proof (photos and a note) before the deadline.
- After approval, or when the check time ends, claim your payment from the errand page.
About amounts
Every amount is in USDC, worth about one US dollar. Japanese and Korean screens also show a small rough figure in yen or won. It is only a guide at a recent rate: you pay and receive USDC, and the real rate when you exchange may differ.
Stay safe
- Check the amount, the network and the address before every signature. A transaction cannot be undone.
- Keep talk and payment on WayHand. Anyone asking you to pay or chat elsewhere is breaking the rules; report it and stop.
- Start with small amounts until you know how it works.
Words used here
- USDC: a digital dollar. One USDC is worth about one US dollar.
- Escrow: a locked box on the blockchain. The money waits there until the errand ends.
