Risk notice

Before you use these methods to get paid, know where the risks areFees, exchange rates, account freezes, price swings, compliance and scams, laid out on one page.

·This site is education, not advice

Everything on this site is for education and information only. It is not investment, tax or legal advice, and it isn't telling you that you have to sign up, fund an account or trade. Whether you use a particular way to get paid, or a particular platform, is a call you make based on your own situation, and where it matters you should ask a qualified professional where you live.

·The risks you should know

• Fees and FX: the figure on the invoice is not what reaches you. Platform fees, the spread on the exchange rate and local cash-out costs all eat into what you actually take home. The numbers this site produces are directional estimates only.
• Account freeze and risk control: a payment platform can limit or freeze your balance over a risk flag or a dispute, and sorting it out can take a long time.
• Crypto price swings: a stablecoin sits close to one US dollar most of the time, but it has drifted off that mark for short stretches in the past, and the local amount you can convert into is set by the market in real time.
• Irreversible transfers: an on-chain transfer can't be reversed. Send to the wrong address or on the wrong network and the funds can be gone.
• Compliance and region: rules for crypto and for getting paid differ from place to place and keep changing. Whether something is compliant or even available depends on where you are, so go by your local official rules as they stand now.
• Scams and phishing: be wary of fake support staff, of anyone who wants you to pay first before funds are "released", and of anyone asking for your password, codes or private keys. These are all signs of a scam.

·Go by the official information

Fees, promotions, regional availability and platform rules can change at any time, and after the update date shown on this site the information may already be different. Do any account action on the platform's official website or official app. Before you sign up, check the official domain yourself, and watch out for copycat phishing sites.
