Payments & Fees
Transparent pricing and instant payments powered by Solana blockchain
Fee Structure
ZaphWork charges a simple, transparent platform fee on all transactions. The fee varies by work type to reflect the different levels of service and support required.
Tasks & Gigs
10%For one-time tasks and gig services, we charge a 10% platform fee on the transaction amount.
Remote Work
5%For ongoing remote work positions, we charge a reduced 5% platform fee on weekly payments.
💡 Important:
The platform fee is always paid by the client (the person hiring). Freelancers receive 100% of the posted reward amount. What you see is what you get!
Freelancers Receive 100% of Posted Reward
Unlike many other platforms, ZaphWork doesn't take a cut from freelancers' earnings. When you see a task offering $100, you'll receive exactly $100 when the work is approved.
How It Works:
✨ Why This Matters:
Many platforms deduct their fees from freelancer earnings, making it hard to know what you'll actually make. On ZaphWork, the posted reward is exactly what you'll earn. Simple and transparent.
Fee Calculation Examples
Here are some real-world examples showing exactly how fees are calculated:
Example 1: $50 Task
Example 2: $200 Gig
Example 3: $1,000/week Remote Work
Solana Transaction Costs
ZaphWork is built on Solana, one of the fastest and cheapest blockchains in the world. This means transaction fees are incredibly low compared to other platforms.
Typical Transaction Costs
Why Solana?
⚡ Compare to Traditional Platforms:
Traditional payment processors charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. On a $50 payment, that's $1.75 in fees. On Solana, the same transaction costs less than $0.01. That's over 99% cheaper!
Instant Payment Processing
One of the biggest advantages of blockchain payments is speed. When a client approves your work, you get paid instantly - not in 3-5 business days, but in seconds.
Payment Timeline:
Client Approves Work
The client reviews your submission and clicks "Approve" to release payment from escrow.
Smart Contract Executes
The Solana smart contract automatically transfers funds from escrow to your wallet. This happens in 1-2 seconds.
Funds Available Immediately
Your USDC balance updates instantly. You can withdraw to an external wallet, use it for other transactions, or keep it in your ZaphWork wallet.
🚀 No Waiting Period:
Unlike traditional platforms that hold your funds for days or weeks, ZaphWork releases payment the moment work is approved. Your money, your control, instant access.
Withdrawing Funds to External Wallets
You have complete control over your earnings. You can withdraw your USDC to any external Solana wallet at any time, or keep it in your ZaphWork wallet for future transactions.
How to Withdraw:
Withdrawal Options:
To Your Own Wallet
Send USDC to your personal Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.) for full custody and control of your funds.
To an Exchange
Send USDC directly to a crypto exchange to convert to your local currency or other cryptocurrencies.
⚠️ Important:
Always double-check the destination wallet address before confirming a withdrawal. Blockchain transactions are irreversible - if you send to the wrong address, the funds cannot be recovered.
💡 Pro Tip:
You can also keep your earnings in your ZaphWork wallet and use them to fund tasks or gigs as a client. This saves you from having to deposit funds separately when you want to hire freelancers.
