Wallet verification
What signing a message proves, and when it is required.
Registering a wallet stores an address. Verifying it proves you control it: your wallet signs a one-time message from the platform, and only the real key-holder can produce that signature.
When it's required#
| Action | Verification |
|---|---|
| Client deposits | Required, an unverified sender address could be claimed by anyone on a shared/exchange wallet |
| Worker payouts | Optional, exchange deposit addresses can’t sign messages, and that’s fine |
How to verify#
- 1On the wallet card (
/client/depositsor/work/earnings/setup), click Verify. - 2Your wallet app (e.g. Phantom) pops up a signature request, approve it. It costs nothing.
- 3The signature is checked instantly; your wallet shows as verified.
ℹ Changing address resets verification
Register a different address and you'll need to verify again (and payout access pauses for 24h).
