Many adult publishers prefer crypto payouts: a stablecoin transfer usually arrives in minutes, and it does not depend on a bank that accepts adult businesses. But "weekly payouts in USDT" can mean very different things from one network to the next. This guide explains the three parts of any payout policy (the hold, the minimum and the schedule), then shows how each works on Lana Network, step by step.
We run Lana Network, so our own terms are the worked example. They are published on our payments page; nothing here goes beyond it.
The three parts of a payout policy
The hold. Earnings are not payable the day they are booked. The network waits a few days so it can remove invalid traffic first. A hold protects advertisers, and in the end publishers too, because a network that pays for bots does not keep its advertisers.
The minimum. The balance you must reach before money is sent. It exists because every transfer has a cost. A high minimum on your method can lock a small site's earnings for weeks.
The schedule. When payouts go out: weekly, monthly, or on request. Payment terms such as Net7 mean earnings of a period are paid seven days after the period closes. We explain those terms in which adult ad networks pay upfront.
A low minimum with a long hold, or a weekly schedule with a high minimum, can both be slow in practice. Read the three together.
USDT and USDC: what the network names mean
USDT and USDC are stablecoins that track the US dollar. Each exists on several blockchains, and a payout is sent on one specific network. Sending to an address on the wrong network can lose the funds, so the network name matters as much as the coin.
- USDT on TRC20 runs on the Tron blockchain. Tether lists TRC20 among its supported protocols.
- USDC on Solana runs on the Solana blockchain. Circle, the issuer, documents USDC on Solana.
Your wallet or exchange tells you which networks an address accepts. If it does not list TRC20 or Solana, do not use that address.

How a payout works on Lana Network, day by day
- Every day, the valid impressions of the previous day are priced and settled. Your earnings are added to your balance, in hold.
- Seven days later, those earnings become available. Traffic found invalid during the hold is taken back before it is paid.
- Every week, payouts are processed for available balances of 10 USD or more.
- At any time, you can also request a payout yourself from your Payouts page, once your available balance is at least 10 USD.
- After the transfer, we record its transaction reference in your dashboard and email you.
So earnings from a given day are typically paid in the first weekly run after the day they become available, or earlier if you request them.
The minimum: 10 USD, whatever the method
The minimum payout is 10 USD of available balance, for both methods. Below that, the balance simply keeps growing until it reaches it. We chose a low minimum on purpose: a small site should not wait a month to see its first payment.
| Method | What you enter | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| USDT (TRC20) | A TRC20 wallet address | 10 USD |
| USDC (Solana) | A Solana wallet address | 10 USD |
| Bank wire | Not available yet | None |
Amounts are in USD. Bank wire is not available yet.
The address rules that protect your money
Payout fraud usually does not look like hacking; it looks like a changed address. Three rules make that hard:
- You type your own payment details in your account, yourself.
- A new or changed address waits 72 hours before it can be used for a payout, and we email you when it changes. A stolen login cannot redirect your money unnoticed.
- One record per payout. Each payout has an amount, method, address and transaction reference, and it can be paid only once. A recorded payment is never deleted; a correction is recorded after it, with a written reason.
Questions to ask any network about crypto payouts
- Which coin, and on which blockchain network?
- What is the minimum for that exact method, and is the first payment different?
- Is there a fee per payout, fixed or in percent?
- How long is the hold, and what happens to traffic found invalid during it?
- How long before a new address can be used?
If a network cannot answer these in writing, that tells you something too. Our publishers page lists the rest of our terms in one place.
Frequently asked questions
When do I get my first payout?
Earnings of a day become available 7 days after that day settles. Once your available balance reaches 10 USD, it is paid in the next weekly run, or sooner if you request a payout from your Payouts page.
Why can I not use my new wallet address right away?
For your security. A new or changed payment method can be used 72 hours after you save it, and we email you when it changes, so nobody can redirect your money without you knowing.
Do you pay by bank wire or PayPal?
Not today. Payouts are in USDT on TRC20 or USDC on Solana. Bank wire is not available yet.
