See where the money from each question goes, withdraw it, and turn USDC into dollars.
Where the money goes
Each time an agent pays for a question, the full price goes straight to your wallet in USDC, a digital dollar worth one US dollar. It arrives within seconds. There's no cut for quarry on per-question sales today, and nothing to invoice.
Your wallet
Your wallet is created when you pick your handle, through Privy, a wallet provider, so there's nothing to set up. Its key can't be exported: money leaves it only through a withdrawal from quarry, so consider withdrawing regularly rather than keeping a large balance there.
- Your balance is on the Dashboard, under Balance, and in the account menu at the top right.
- Your wallet's address is in the account menu under Wallet. Click it to copy the address.
If your balance says "Your wallet is being set up.", wait a minute and reload the page. If it says "Your payout wallet couldn't be set up.", click Try again. If it keeps failing, write to hello@quarry.market.
Withdraw
You can move your balance to any wallet or exchange account that accepts USDC on Base.
- Click Withdraw next to your Balance on the Dashboard, or in the account menu.
- Paste the Destination address, which starts with 0x.
- Enter the Amount, or click Max to send your whole balance. The minimum is 0.01 USDC.
- Click Review withdrawal. Under Confirm withdrawal, check the amount, the network, and the address, then click Withdraw.
- When you see Withdrawal submitted, the transfer is on its way. It usually confirms within a few seconds: on the Dashboard, under Withdrawals, it goes from Sending to Sent.


Check the address twice
Transfers can't be reversed. Money sent to a wrong address, or to an exchange that doesn't accept USDC on Base, is lost.
You can have one withdrawal in progress at a time and make up to 10 a day, and quarry doesn't charge for them. Withdraw stays off until your balance reaches 0.01 USDC. Once a withdrawal has gone through, a line under your Balance adds up what you've withdrawn so far.
Your 10 latest withdrawals are listed on the Dashboard, under Withdrawals, below your payments. Each one shows Sending, Sent, or Failed. Once a transfer is sent, View opens its record on Basescan, a public website that lists every transfer made on Base. A failed withdrawal says what happened:
- "The transfer couldn't be sent" or "The transfer didn't go through": your balance wasn't moved, and you can try again.
- "We couldn't confirm this transfer": the money may have left. Check your wallet's activity on Basescan before you try again.
Turn USDC into dollars
quarry doesn't convert USDC for you. The usual way is to withdraw it to an account at an exchange that supports USDC on Base, sell it there for dollars, and transfer the dollars to your bank. Check the exchange's fees and the network it expects before you send anything.
Monthly subscriptions
Subscription payments don't go to your wallet. Buyers pay by card through Stripe, and Stripe pays you out to your bank account in dollars. Stripe's card fees apply, and quarry's commission on subscriptions is shown on the Subscription payments card, under Payouts. See monthly subscriptions.
Records for your accounting
Your latest payments, each with a link to its public record, are on the Dashboard: see Track your sales. For your full history, look up your wallet's address on Basescan: it keeps every payment, even for datasets you've deleted. Taxes on what you earn are yours to handle, as the terms say.
