FAQ
Is it free for clients?
Yes. Building techpacks, posting jobs, receiving bids, sending messages, reading [POW] profiles — all free. The only fee is 9% on a funded [SPS] milestone.
Can I add or drop services?
Any time. The first service is free. An extra service is active the moment payment clears, at that service’s monthly rate ($9/mo each for now). A cancelled service stays active to the end of its billing month. Moving the free service onto one you already pay for requires cancelling that paid service first. The monthly price recorded at checkout stays on a paid subscription while it remains active.
What happens in a dispute?
ADN mediates against the record. Every [POW] upload, every approval, every [SPS] event is signed and time-stamped. Funds stay held until the dispute resolves.
How does a producer receive funds?
Through Stripe Connect. The client’s payment is held by ADN and, on milestone release, the full milestone amount transfers to the producer’s connected account — 100%, no commission deducted.
What if the work doesn’t match the techpack?
Do not approve the milestone. Request a revision. The [SPS] milestone does not release without approval (or carrier delivery on the final milestone). ADN mediates if the producer disputes the rejection.
Can a single job run through ADN?
Yes. There is no subscription required for clients. Post one techpack. Fund only the milestones the job requires. The 9% applies on each funded milestone.
How is this different from Alibaba or Thomasnet?
Three differences: bids are blind, so pricing reflects the producer’s actual cost. Funds are held against the techpack, so no wire is ever sent on a promise. Every producer is American and ID-verified.
What if the producer stops responding mid-production?
Only the funded milestone is at risk; future milestones sit unfunded. The [POW] record is the dispute trail. ADN mediates against the record.
