Getting paid
Someone launched a coin for you, and its fees are waiting in your name. This page is everything you need to know. You don't need a wallet, an app, or to understand anything about coins.
Five screens, one thing to type
| Screen | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Your page | Find your handle on payday.foundation, or tap the link we sent you after you replied "claim" to @UsePaydayApp. You'll see how much is waiting. |
| 2. Sign in with X | This is the only proof we need that you are you. We read your handle and your profile's location, nothing else. We never post as you and never see your password. |
| 3. Keep it, or give it away | Keep it and get paid, or send all of it to a charity in your name. |
| 4. Your country, then one thing | Your country is filled in from your X profile; change it if it's wrong. Then type one thing: your UPI ID, Pix key, IBAN, M-Pesa number or similar. Bank and cash-pickup payments also ask your legal name. |
| 5. Check and claim | You see the amount, the 15% fee, what arrives in your currency, and when. Tap Claim. You get a receipt. |
The whole thing takes about a minute.
Keep it, or give it away
| If you choose | What happens |
|---|---|
| Keep it | We pay you by the way you chose, in your currency. Future fees are paid to you automatically at milestones. |
| Give it away | The whole balance goes to a charity in your country (or our default), in your name. No fee is taken. Future fees follow the same choice until you change it. |
Ways to get paid
Your country's own way comes first. Global options are always there. Digital dollars (USDC) are last in the list and only for people who want them.

The full table, with how each is sent, is on Ways to get paid.
What it costs
| Fee on payouts to you | 15% |
| Fee if you give it to charity | 0% |
| Currency conversion | At the payment provider's rate when the money is sent. It's printed on your receipt. |
| Anything else | Nothing |
The claim post
When you claim, @UsePaydayApp posts it, like this:
@yourhandle just claimed $2,412 from 1,204 holders of $LOTUS — paid by UPI 🇮🇳
It comes with a card showing the same thing. The post goes out when the money moves: if your claim is being checked, it waits until the check is done.
To turn it off, switch off "Every claim is a post." on the last screen before you tap Claim. Nothing is posted. Your page on payday.foundation still shows the claim, because every payment is public.
If you're not ready yet
The money waits in your name for 90 days from the first fee. Claiming resets the clock. If 90 days pass with no claim, a charity in your country receives it in your name, and we post that. How the 90 days work
If you don't want this
Tap "Not interested? Opt out" on your page and sign in with X. It's one tap, honored within 24 hours:
| After you opt out | |
|---|---|
| Your balance | Goes to a charity in your country, in your name |
| Future fees | Go to the same charity every week, in your name |
| Notices and posts | None |
| The Unclaimed board | You're removed |
| Changing your mind | Claim any time and it's yours again |
We can't stop people launching coins that name you, but nothing reaches you and nothing is kept.
When a claim gets a human check
| We check claims | Why |
|---|---|
| Over $2,500 | To make sure large amounts go to the right person |
| From X accounts under 90 days old | To stop impersonation |
A check usually takes less than 24 hours. The money stays in your name while we look. Accounts under 30 days old can't claim yet: come back when yours is older.
