How it works

From first contact to settled payment.

Four steps, one audited contract. Money only ever moves between the brand's wallet and the escrow — and every number on the way carries its source.

01

Connect & verify

Creators link X, Telegram and exchange referral accounts. Metrics sync read-only from the source — the platform never accepts screenshots.

  • Followers sync from platform APIs with a green verified dot.
  • Referral results are confirmed by exchange BDs or a read-only affiliate API.
  • Anything unverified stays clearly labeled as declared.
02

Agree & fund escrow

Terms go into a structured deal: scope, amount, chain, milestones and optional performance targets. On acceptance, the brand funds the audited escrow contract from its own wallet.

  • Funds lock on-chain before any work starts.
  • Milestones split the budget into separately released stages.
  • KOLHub never holds the money — the contract does.
03

Deliver with proof

The creator ships content and submits proof — links, files and reported metrics — into the deal record. The review window starts automatically.

  • One structured revision round is built into every milestone.
  • Performance targets are checked against the agreed brief.
  • If the brand goes silent, the milestone auto-releases when the window expires.
04

Settle & rate

On approval the contract releases payment to the creator's verified wallet. Both sides then leave a review bound to the settled deal.

  • Payouts go directly to the verified payout wallet.
  • Reviews exist only where money actually moved.
  • Reputation is two-way: brands are rated on payment speed and brief quality.

The safety net

Disputes

Either side can freeze a milestone and submit evidence. An independent arbiter rules on-chain: release, refund or split.

Auto-release

Creators are protected from silent buyers — an unattended milestone releases automatically when the agreed window expires.

Hidden profiles

Creators can stay masked, showing verified ranges only, and reveal identity per-company on their own terms.
