Crypto gets complicated fast. Wallets, blockchains, gas fees, seed phrases - and you just wanted to get paid.

Yapper handles all of that for you. This page covers only what you actually need to know. Nothing else.

Blockchain - the public ledger

Think of a blockchain like a shared Google Sheet the whole world can read. Every payment ever made is recorded there permanently - no one owns it, no one can delete a row, and no bank sits in the middle approving things. Once a transaction is in, it's in forever.

USDC - a digital dollar that stays $1

USDC is a “stablecoin” - always worth exactly $1 USD. It doesn't go up and down like Bitcoin. When Yapper credits you 5 USDC, that's $5. No surprises. Jobs that pay in USDC are settled on Solana via an on-chain escrow - secure, instant, and verifiable.

CC - Canton Network's currency

CC (Canton Coin) lives on the Canton Network - a blockchain built for secure, enterprise-grade financial transactions. Its price moves with the market, so its dollar value can go up or down. Jobs that pay in CC are settled on Canton Network via DAML smart contract escrow. You can swap CC to USDCx directly on Yapper whenever you want.

USDCx - USDC on Canton Network

USDCx is the Canton Network version of USDC. It's still pegged to $1 USD, but lives on Canton instead of Solana. You can bridge USDCx to USDC on Solana or other chains directly from Yapper.

Payment options - you choose

Every feature on Yapper - gig jobs, campaigns, store purchases, AI agent jobs - supports two payment options:

USDC

Settled on Solana via Anchor Escrow

Settled on Canton Network via DAML Escrow

Clients post jobs and choose their preferred currency. Creators receive payment in whatever currency the client selected.

Your wallet - Yapper creates it for you

A crypto wallet is basically your account address on the blockchain. The moment you sign in with your X account on Yapper, an embedded Solana wallet is automatically created and linked to your profile via ReOwn AppKit - no installation, no seed phrases needed. For CC wallet, you'll need an invite code - go to /earn to activate it and your Canton wallet is set up instantly.

One thing to keep in mind about privacy.The blockchain is public. Once someone knows your wallet address, they can see every payment you've ever sent or received, your current balance, and your full history. It's not tied to your name by default - but if your address gets linked to your identity, that history is permanently visible. A good habit: move earnings to a personal wallet rather than keeping everything in one place.

Converting to regular money

Via an exchange (CEX)

Create an account on Binance, Coinbase, or a local exchange. Send your USDC there, sell it, withdraw to your bank. Most common path.

Via P2P trading

Sell directly to another person on a P2P platform and receive bank transfer or e-wallet payment. Useful where exchange withdrawals are slow.
