In short
The dollar edition is SaTT without a wallet or token: you sign in with e-mail or a social network, fund AdPools by card in US dollars, and creators withdraw earnings to a bank account from $20. The fee is 15% of the pool budget, taken at funding. During the alpha it runs in test mode with test dollars.

What is the dollar edition?
The same product as the crypto edition, priced and paid in US dollars. Your balance is in dollars (cents precision), and dollar AdPools appear in Explore next to crypto ones.
It covers everything an advertiser or creator needs: creating and joining AdPools and Quests, AI drafts and generators, and withdrawals.
How does money move in and out?
| Step | How | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Top up | Card checkout by Stripe (also Apple Pay or Google Pay where offered) | $10 minimum, $5,000 maximum per top-up |
| Fund a pool | Debited from your balance at creation | Minimum pool budget $10 |
| Earn | Rewards credited to your balance after the 48-hour maturation | — |
| Withdraw | Bank payout through Stripe Connect (Stripe handles identity checks) | From $20 |
SaTT never holds card or bank details; Stripe, a regulated payment provider, does.
What does it cost?
- Platform fee: 15% of the AdPool budget, taken when the pool is funded. A $100 pool gives $85 to creators. The form shows the net amount before you launch.
- AI generations in AI Studio: $0.50 each from the balance. Generating AdPool ideas is free.
- Unspent budget: returned to your balance when you close the pool. The fee is fully refunded only if you cancel before any creator submitted a post.
The crypto edition is cheaper for pools funded in SaTT (5%). See Payments and fees FAQ.
What changes during the alpha?
During the public alpha the dollar edition runs in test mode: you add test funds from your dashboard, nothing is charged to a card and withdrawals are simulated. Every rule (fees, maturation, review, withdrawal minimum) behaves as it will with real money.
Dollars or crypto: which should you choose?
Choose dollars if your team or your creators do not use crypto, or if you want card payments and bank payouts. Choose crypto if you hold SaTT (5% fee instead of 15%) or want every payout signed and paid by a smart contract. Both editions use the same oracle, the same fraud checks and the same pricing modes. Compare with the crypto edition.

Frequently asked questions
Can a creator earn in dollars from a crypto pool?
No. A crypto pool pays in its token to a wallet; a dollar pool pays to the dollar balance. A creator can use both editions with one SaTT account.
How long until I can withdraw?
Rewards become available after the 48-hour maturation (and, for performance pools, the 20% holdback after the pool ends). From $20 of balance you can request a payout. See Withdraw dollars.
Is there a separate credit unit?
No. The balance is US dollars, shown with your locale’s formatting, for example $125.40 in English.
