Why Pokat
The brief, the contract, the payment. One link.
Pokat runs the whole freelance deal in one workspace. The brief, the references, the milestones, the signed approval, and the payment — codified into one URL, with a cryptographic audit trail and settlement that lands straight in your wallet.
Pain
Scope drift
Pokat
Versioned blocks. Signed snapshots. Diff before approve.
Pain
Late payment
Pokat
Card → USDC → wallet in ~30s. No bank holds.
Pain
"I never agreed to that"
Pokat
SHA-256 of blocks + IP + UA + UTC. Court-grade audit.
Pillar 02
Closed-loop, crypto-invisible
Your client sees a normal checkout. Behind it, fiat → USDC bridge. They book a vendor expense, not a digital asset. You receive instantly. No FX, no SWIFT delay.
Pillar 03
Portal-as-product
One URL per project. Linear scroll of blocks, versioned commits, cryptographic approval audit. White-label your branding on Pro. The portal IS the deliverable.
One URL · five surfaces
Everything you and your client need. Nothing else.
Tab · Feed
The story
Vertical stream of blocks: brief, references, milestones, signature. Scroll, comment, approve.
Tab · Files
The library
Shared workspace with folders and per-file comments. Drop refs, react inline. Drag picks into Feed.
Tab · Messages
The chat
DM thread for general convo. Separate from per-block feedback so context stays clean.
Tab · Comments
The review
Aggregated threads across blocks, files, and project-wide. Frame.io-style review, in one tab.
Tab · Payment
The quote
Milestone breakdown, fees shown as line items, Pay → Transak → USDC settles to your wallet.
How payment works
Two fees. Both shown on every invoice.
Your client pays a flat 3% processing fee (pass-through to the on-ramp). You pay Pokat 6% on Free / 3% on Pro per milestone. Both lines render before the Pay button — no hidden math.

Why creators switch
The math is half the story. Here's the rest.
vs. Stripe Connect
The pain
Locks out 50+ countries. 3-7 day KYC. Need a business entity.
Pokat
Paste a USDC wallet. Billable in 60 seconds, anywhere on Earth.
vs. PayPal / SWIFT
The pain
4-5% cross-border + hidden FX + 3-5 day hold on international wires.
Pokat
Card → USDC on-chain in ~30 seconds. No FX hit. No bank hold.
vs. Upwork / Fiverr
The pain
They own your client list. Leave the platform, lose your history.
Pokat
You bring the client. Pokat hosts the workspace. Relationship is yours.

vs. Stripe Connect
The pain
Indonesian PT? Brazilian CNPJ? Nigerian CAC? Stripe Connect locks out 50+ countries. The ones who CAN sign up wait 3-7 days for KYC review, prep tax forms, link a business bank account.
Pokat
Paste your USDC wallet. EIP-55 checksum validation catches typos. You're billable in 60 seconds, anywhere on Earth.
vs. PayPal / SWIFT international
The pain
PayPal: 4-5% on cross-border + hidden FX spread + 3-5 day hold. SWIFT wire: $25-60 flat + correspondent bank fees + 2-3 days clearing. Both eat into a $5,000 invoice like termites.
Pokat
Card → USDC on-chain in ~30 seconds. Buyer pays in their currency, you receive USDC in your wallet. No FX hit. No hold. Polygon network fees are pennies.
vs. Upwork / Fiverr
The pain
You don't own your client list. Leave the platform, lose access to past chats, files, payment history. The marketplace owns the relationship.
Pokat
You bring the client. Pokat hosts the workspace. The relationship is yours — always. Send a Pokat link from your Instagram bio or your last email signature.
