Frequently Asked Questions

🛡️ What is RightWayPay?

RightWayPay is a decentralized, non-custodial Milestone Payment Protocol built for software developers, bot creators, UI/UX designers, and digital contractors on Telegram. Funds are locked directly into an audited, verified smart contract on Base Mainnet until deliverables are inspected.

🔒 What does "100% Non-Custodial" mean?

Non-custodial means RightWayPay never holds your cryptocurrency or private keys. When a buyer locks USDC, it is held strictly by immutable smart contract code on Base (0xb749...ED22 ↗). There are no admin backdoors or custodial sweeps.

⏳ How does the 72-Hour Anti-Ghosting Shield work?

When the seller delivers the project, they tap Mark as Delivered. This starts a 72-hour inspection clock on the Base blockchain. If the buyer approves early, funds release immediately. If the buyer goes silent for 72 hours without raising a dispute, the seller can claim the payout unilaterally.

⚖️ How does the Plan B Proportional Split Engine & AI Arbiter work?

Instead of unfair "winner-takes-all" outcomes, RightWayPay uses an isolated Court Engine combining deterministic heuristics and GPT-4o log analysis to assign fair percentage settlements (e.g., 100/0, 70% Seller / 30% Buyer, or 50/50 Compromise):

• Environment & Missing Keys: Buyers who opt for self-install are responsible for configuring their local .env and host dependencies.
• Third-Party API Quotas: External rate limits (HTTP 429) or exhausted API balances are infrastructure limits, not code defects.
• Anti-Scope Creep: Demanding extra features not listed in the original milestone invoice favors the seller.
• Partial Deliverables: If core features work cleanly with minor bugs, the engine assigns a proportional split.

💰 What are the protocol fees?

• Buyer Deposit Fee: 0% ($0.00)
• Completed Payout Fee: 1.00% (99% to seller, 1% to protocol treasury)
• Full Buyer Refund Fee: 0% (100% returned to buyer)

🚫 Acceptable Use Policy (What is prohibited?)

RightWayPay strictly supports legitimate bespoke software and digital deliverables (scripts, bots, web design, UI/UX, API integrations). Physical goods requiring shipping, as well as malware, drainers, exploits, carding, or stolen credentials, are automatically blocked and strictly prohibited.
