Overview

ACN settles with providers in daily batches. All calls served during a period are aggregated, the platform fee is deducted, and the net amount is sent as a single USDC transfer on Base.

​
Minimum Settlement Threshold

Settlements are only processed when the accumulated amount exceeds $0.10 USDC. If your daily earnings are below this threshold, they carry over to the next settlement period until the minimum is met.

​
Provider Wallet

You must have a USDC-compatible wallet on Base to receive settlements. Configure your settlement wallet address during onboarding.
Make sure your wallet can receive ERC-20 tokens (USDC) on Base. Most standard Ethereum wallets work — MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, hardware wallets, etc.

​
Tracking Settlements

View your settlement history in the provider dashboard at provider.acn.exchange, or via the provider API: 
curl https://api.acn.exchange/v1/provider/settlements \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your_provider_key"

​
Disputes

If you believe a settlement is incorrect:
  1. Check the call log for the settlement period
  2. Verify the call counts match your internal logs
  3. Contact support with the settlement ID
Refunded calls (5xx errors, timeouts) are not included in settlement amounts.
