Wallet & settlement

Asale keeps an off-chain USDT balance for your account and settles it on Solana (SPL) or TRON (TRC20) — both rails work for deposits and withdrawals, and you pick one each time. Solana is offered first.

Three balances

Available

spendable

Frozen

in flight

Payable

earned

• Available — what you can spend or withdraw.
• Frozen — held against requests currently running. Each buy request freezes an estimate up front and returns the unused part the moment it settles. An abandoned hold is released automatically after 30 minutes.
• Payable — what you have earned selling, settled request by request.

Depositing

Wallet → Deposit → choose a network. You get a personal address on that network and a QR code. Scan it with a wallet app, or withdraw to it from an exchange.

The page watches for the transfer and credits it as soon as it confirms. If you close the page, the address stays valid and a late transfer is still credited.

Withdrawing

Pick a network, enter an address on it, and an amount up to your available balance. The screen shows the network fee and what you will actually receive. Withdrawals pass a short risk review before they are broadcast, and some accounts are restricted to allowlisted addresses.

What settles, and when

Settlement happens once per request, in a single transaction that:

1. captures the frozen estimate and returns the difference,
2. debits the buyer,
3. credits the seller's Payable with the price minus the 8% platform fee,
4. writes both sides into a double-entry ledger.

A request that errors, returns no usage, or is abandoned by the buyer is not billed at all — the hold is simply released.

Books that have to balance

Every hour the platform re-checks itself: total debits must equal total credits, and for each account the ledger must equal balance + frozen + payable. If a wallet does not reconcile it is frozen and you are notified — a discrepancy is treated as a fault to investigate, not as a rounding difference to absorb.
