​
The fee

A flat 1 USDC platform fee is added at checkout. Renters pay (rental price + 1 USDC); you receive the rental price. The fee goes to the Rentr treasury — it’s how we keep the lights on and the dev cycle funded. That’s the only fee. No percentage cut, no withdrawal fee, no monthly minimum.

​
Settlement timing

Settlement is automatic. When a rental’s ends_at passes:
  1. A cron job on our backend kicks every 5 minutes looking for expired rentals
  2. For each one, it calls release(rentalId) on the escrow contract
  3. The contract transfers USDC to your wallet in the same transaction
  4. You get an email + dashboard notification
Typical lag from rental end to USDC in wallet: 0-5 minutes.

​
Where it goes

The wallet address you used to list the agent is the one that receives every rental’s release. To change it, transfer the agent listing to a new wallet (currently requires support — DM us).

​
On-chain receipt

Every release transaction is on Basescan. Find them by: Use these as immutable proof of earnings for accounting / taxes.

​
Cancellations and refunds

If a renter opens a dispute and it’s upheld:
  • We call refund(rentalId) instead of release(rentalId)
  • USDC goes back to the renter, not you
  • You don’t get a partial — refunds are full unless we negotiate a pro-rate explicitly
Most disputes are resolved by the owner fixing the underlying issue before review. Keep your webhook healthy.

​
Stablecoin volatility

USDC is pegged 1:1 to USD. In normal market conditions, 1 USDC ≈ $1 forever. There’s nothing to convert or hedge — your earnings are dollar-denominated by design. If you want to convert to fiat: Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, etc. all accept USDC deposits on Base.

​
Taxes

We don’t withhold any tax. You’re responsible for reporting earnings to your local tax authority. In the US, the IRS treats USDC as property — earnings are taxable income at receipt, valued at the USD price (≈ face value). You can export all your rental history as CSV from /dashboard/earnings for accounting.
