Your payout address is the Base-compatible wallet address where Fundwork sends your USDC when a client approves your work. Getting this right before work is submitted for approval is one of the most important steps you take as a talent on Fundwork.

​
What a Payout Address Is

A payout address is a standard Ethereum-format wallet address (0x…) that is compatible with Base. Any wallet that supports Base and can hold ERC-20 tokens (including USDC) works as a payout address. Examples include self-custody wallets like Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask configured for Base, and other EVM-compatible wallets pointed at the Base network.
Your .base.eth name appears on your completion receipts and profile, but payments are sent to the underlying wallet address associated with that name — or to whatever address you explicitly configure as your payout address.

​
How to Set Your Payout Address

1

Open your Fundwork profile settings

Log in to Fundwork and navigate to your account settings or profile page.
2

Locate the Payout Address field

Find the Payout Address section under payment or wallet settings.
3

Enter your Base-compatible wallet address

Paste your full wallet address (0x…). Double-check every character — do not rely on memory or partial copy-paste.
4

Save and confirm

Save your settings. Verify the address displayed matches exactly what you intended to enter.

​
Why You Must Verify Your Address

Payments are sent directly and irreversibly to your configured payout address. If you enter an incorrect address, your USDC will be sent to the wrong destination and cannot be recovered or reversed. Always double-check your address before saving, and verify it again before your first payment.
Because Base transactions are final once confirmed on-chain, Fundwork has no ability to recall or redirect a payment after it has been submitted. The responsibility for a correct payout address rests entirely with you.

Alpha Note

Fundwork is currently in alpha. Payout address configuration and wallet settings are subject to change as the platform evolves. Check back for updates before public launch.
