Which Chains and Wallets Does Dopamyn Support for USDC Payouts?
USDC Campaign Payouts on Base and Solana: The Short Answer
Dopamyn settles rewards in USDC on-chain, and the path is the same whether you're a brand funding a campaign or a creator getting paid. Brands lock a reward pool in USDC, every task is verified, and creators claim what they've earned directly to their connected wallet.
For USDC campaign payouts, Base and Solana are the two production chains you'll actually use today:
Base (EVM) is the primary chain. Reward pools are funded and settled here through Dopamyn's on-chain settlement contract.
Solana runs as a parallel path. It uses its own program but follows the same fund-pool, verify, claim flow.
Both are live. Everything below explains how wallets connect, what each side does, and what to expect when a payout clears.
Connect a Wallet, Get Paid in USDC
A wallet is how you interact with the on-chain layer of Dopamyn. There are two roles, and each needs a connected wallet:
Brands need a wallet to create a campaign and fund its reward pool with USDC.
Creators need a wallet to claim USDC rewards after completing verified tasks.
Dopamyn uses your wallet for the on-chain steps only — connecting a wallet is separate from logging in, so you sign up first and connect a wallet when you're ready to fund or claim.
You can connect an EVM-compatible wallet (used for Base) or a Solana wallet. Pick the chain that matches how you want to move USDC, connect once, and you're set for funding or claiming.
Which chains are actually live
It's worth being precise here, because not every chain that appears in the platform is one you should rely on:
****Base (EVM): Live and primary — fund and settle here
Solana: Live — parallel path, same flow
Other EVM chains (e.g. Ethereum, Polygon): Configured but not active for payouts
If you're starting today, Base is the default and Solana is the parallel option. Treat those two as your supported chains for USDC campaign payouts. The other EVM chains exist in the configuration but aren't active settlement paths, so don't plan a campaign around them.
How Brands Fund a USDC Reward Pool
If you're running a campaign, the on-chain part is straightforward:
Connect your EVM wallet (for Base) through the wallet connection flow.
Create the campaign, which registers it on Dopamyn's on-chain settlement contract.
Top up the reward pool with USDC so there's a funded pool participants can earn from.
Before you confirm the top-up, the platform reads your USDC balance and the gas estimate from the chain, so you can see what you're committing. The reward pool is held in escrow — funds stay locked in the contract until a participant's task passes verification. That's the core accountability mechanic: you're paying per verified action, not per promise.
You can also top up mid-campaign to add funds or open more participant slots without spinning up a new campaign. For the bigger picture on structuring a campaign end to end, see for projects.
How Creators Claim USDC Rewards
For creators, the flow is built so you don't pay gas to get paid:
Complete the tasks in a campaign you've joined.
Each task is individually verified before any payout is unlocked.
Once you're confirmed as a winner, your reward is settled to your connected wallet through the settlement contract, and the claim page confirms receipt.
In practice, the heavy lifting happens during verification — by the time you reach the claim step, the reward has been settled and you're confirming it landed rather than kicking off a brand-new transaction. The result is USDC in your wallet for real, verified engagement. For more on how earning works, see for creators.
Why On-Chain USDC Instead of Off-Platform Payments
The reason Dopamyn settles in USDC on Base and Solana comes down to accountability:
Escrow first. The reward pool is locked in the contract until verification passes. Brands aren't trusting an intermediary to hold and disburse funds.
Verified, then paid. Every task completion is checked before a payout triggers, so brands pay for genuine engagement and creators get paid for real work.
Auditable settlement. Because payouts run through an on-chain contract, every reward is traceable on-chain rather than buried in an invoice.
This is the practical version of "humans approve, agents execute" — you set the rules and fund the pool, and settlement happens transparently on-chain.
Quick FAQ
Do I need crypto experience to get paid?
You need a wallet that supports Base (EVM) or Solana and the ability to connect it. The claim flow is designed so creators confirm a settled reward rather than manually triggering a transaction.
Can I choose between Base and Solana?
Yes — both are live. Base is the primary EVM path; Solana is the parallel path. Connect the wallet that matches the chain you want to use.
What happens to unclaimed funds in a reward pool?
Reward pools are escrowed in the settlement contract until verification clears, which keeps funds tied to actual, verified outcomes rather than upfront spend.
Are other chains supported?
For USDC campaign payouts, treat Base and Solana as the supported chains. Other EVM chains appear in the configuration but aren't active settlement paths today.
