In short
SaTT keeps a platform fee of 5% on AdPools funded in SaTT and 15% on pools funded in other tokens or in dollars. Dollar fees are taken when the pool is funded; crypto fees are deducted from each payout. Creators are paid after a 48-hour maturation, and performance pools hold back 20% until a final check.

What fees does SaTT charge?
| Pool funded in | Fee | Where the fee goes | When it is taken |
|---|---|---|---|
| SaTT | 5% | Half burnt, half ecosystem | On each payout |
| Other tokens (e.g. USDT, USDC) | 15% | Half buy-back-and-burn vault, half ecosystem | On each payout |
| US dollars | 15% | Platform | When the pool is funded |
The fee is set by the funding token on-chain; nobody chooses it per pool. The oracle is not a fee recipient. Gigs use the same 5% / 15% model.
When are creators paid?
- Nothing is payable for 48 hours after a post’s first measurement.
- Fixed per post: paid once, in full, after maturation.
- Performance: up to 80% of the earnings until the pool ends; the 20% holdback after a final check that the post is still live and its numbers did not collapse.
- Crypto performance claims: at most once every 24 hours, plus one final claim after the end.
How do dollar top-ups and withdrawals work?
Top-ups are made by card through Stripe Checkout, from $10 to $5,000 per top-up. Withdrawals go to a bank account through Stripe Connect from $20. During the public alpha the dollar edition runs in test mode, so no real money moves.
Key takeaways
- 5% fee for pools in SaTT, 15% for other tokens and dollars.
- Dollar fees are taken at funding; crypto fees on each payout.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the fee lower in SaTT?
Pools funded in the SaTT token pay 5% instead of 15%; half of that 5% is burnt. It is enforced by the smart contract.
Are amounts shown gross or net?
Prices on crypto pools are gross: the fee is deducted when the creator claims, and the pool page shows the net under each price. Dollar pool budgets show what creators will receive after the fee.
Is the fee refunded when a pool closes?
In dollars the fee is fully refunded only if the pool is cancelled before any submission. On crypto pools the fee is only taken on payouts, so the unspent budget comes back whole.
What is the holdback for?
It protects advertisers against posts deleted or purged after being paid. If the final check passes, the 20% is paid; if the post is removed or its numbers collapsed, it is forfeited. A temporary outage never forfeits it.
How long do I have to claim crypto earnings?
Claims must be signed and submitted before the pool’s end date plus a 3-day claim grace period. After that the owner can withdraw the unspent budget.
What does AI Studio cost?
One generation costs $0.50 from the $ balance in the dollar edition, or credits paid in SaTT in the crypto edition. Generating AdPool ideas from a website is free.
Who handles my card and bank details?
Stripe, the regulated payment provider. SaTT never stores card or bank data; Stripe does the identity checks for withdrawals.
What happens if I dispute a card top-up?
The disputed amount is debited from the balance, which can go negative; the account is then frozen for spending and withdrawing until the dispute is resolved.
