## Where the money goes [#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]

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 [#withdraw]

You can move your balance to any wallet or exchange account that accepts USDC on
Base.

1. Click **Withdraw** next to your **Balance** on the **Dashboard**, or in the account menu.
2. Paste the **Destination address**, which starts with 0x.
3. Enter the **Amount**, or click **Max** to send your whole balance. The minimum is
   0.01 USDC.
4. Click **Review withdrawal**. Under **Confirm withdrawal**, check the amount, the
   network, and the address, then click **Withdraw**.
5. 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**.

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has gone through, a line under your **Balance** adds up what you've withdrawn so far.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 [#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 [#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](/docs/creators/pricing#monthly-subscriptions).

## Records for your accounting [#records-for-your-accounting]

Your latest payments, each with a link to its public record, are on the
**Dashboard**: see [Track your sales](/docs/creators/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](/terms)
say.
