How Voraq pays you: the 80/20 split, explained

Where the money comes from, exactly how much reaches your wallet, and what the remaining 20% actually pays for. With the arithmetic written out.

Most "get paid to" platforms won't tell you what percentage of the advertiser's money you're receiving. They quote you a points balance, apply an opaque conversion rate, and the question of what they kept never comes up.

We think that's the wrong way round. Here's our arithmetic.

Where the money actually comes from

Voraq doesn't fund rewards out of its own pocket, and there's no token emission propping it up. The chain is short and boring:

  1. An advertiser wants survey responses, or wants their video watched. They pay a market research firm or ad network for it.
  2. An offerwall provider aggregates those offers and distributes them to publishers like us.
  3. You complete an offer.
  4. The provider pays Voraq a fixed amount for that completion.
  5. Voraq pays you a share of that amount, in USDT.

The number that matters is step 5, and it's 80%.

The arithmetic

If a survey pays us $1.00 for your completion:

Amount
Provider pays Voraq$1.0000
Your share (80%)$0.8000
Platform share (20%)$0.2000

At $0.05 for a short video:

Amount
Provider pays Voraq$0.0500
Your share (80%)$0.0400
Platform share (20%)$0.0100

The split is applied per completion, at the moment the provider's postback lands, and both sides are stored to six decimal places. Rounding error is carried to the platform side, never yours — so the two parts always sum to exactly what the provider paid, and rounding never costs you a fraction of a cent.

On top of the USDT, every completion also credits 10–50 $ADS loyalty points. Those aren't a share of the revenue; they're issued by us, held in-app, and become claimable when the $ADS token launches.

What the 20% pays for

Being straightforward about this: it isn't profit margin in any meaningful sense yet.

  • On-chain settlement. Every claim is a real Polygon transaction, and Voraq's treasury pays the gas — not you. That's a per-withdrawal cost we absorb.
  • Chargeback exposure. Providers can reverse a completion up to 60 days after crediting it. When that happens after you've already withdrawn, the loss is ours. The 14-day maturity window reduces this but doesn't eliminate it.
  • Fraud prevention. Proxy and datacenter detection, device fingerprinting, velocity checks, signature verification on every postback. This is what keeps our provider accounts alive — a publisher that sends bot traffic gets terminated, and every real user loses access with it.
  • Infrastructure and development. Servers, database, RPC providers, the people building it.
  • Marketing. Bringing in the users who make the whole thing viable.

Why 80 and not 50, or 95

The percentage is a live business decision, and there are real forces on both sides.

Push it too low and there's no reason to use Voraq over a competitor — the offers are literally the same offers, sourced from the same providers. The only thing we compete on is what reaches you and how reliably it arrives.

Push it too high and the platform can't absorb chargebacks or fund the fraud prevention that keeps provider accounts in good standing. Platforms that promise 95% typically either aren't paying it or won't be around long enough to matter.

80% is where we landed. It's deliberately aggressive, and it's sustainable because our costs are mostly fixed while revenue scales with users.

If it ever changes, we'll say so before it takes effect — and this article will be updated with the date. A revenue split that quietly drifts downward is exactly the behaviour that makes people distrust this entire category.

How to check us

You don't have to take this on faith:

  • Your wallet page itemises every completion with the USDT credited.
  • Every claim produces a transaction hash on Polygon. It's public, permanent, and verifiable without our involvement.
  • The full economic model, including treasury mechanics, is in the whitepaper.

What we can't show you is the provider's side of the invoice — those contracts are covered by NDAs we don't get to waive. That's a genuine limit on how far this transparency goes, and we'd rather name it than pretend it isn't there.
