Get paid in USDC, straight to your wallet.
Every validated report is paid in USDC on Arbitrum to the address you give us. You join with one tap in Telegram and paste your wallet's address in the app. No signature and no wallet connection: we have no access to your wallet, and we can't make transactions or withdraw your money.
USDC, on-chain, to your wallet.

What we need, and why
It's where your rewards go
There is no TapQA balance to withdraw. When a report is validated, the payout goes to this address in USDC on Arbitrum, and the bot sends you the transaction link.
Just the address
Only your public address, the same thing anyone can see on a block explorer. No signature, no wallet connection, nothing to approve, no gas.
One address, one tester
An address someone else already uses is refused. Every change is confirmed in the bot chat, so you would see a change you didn't make.
What we can and can't do
TapQA can
- send your rewards to this address
- see the address you gave us
TapQA can't
- access your wallet or anything in it
- make, sign or approve transactions for you
- withdraw or move your money
- see your recovery phrase or private key
An address only tells us where to send money. Taking money out of a wallet needs its private key, and the key never leaves your wallet. Anyone can look up any address on a block explorer; giving it to us shares nothing beyond that.
Which address to give
A blockchain transfer can't be undone: money sent to a wrong address is gone. Take a minute here.
0x and 40 letters and digits. TapQA shows it in groups of four, like here, so you can compare it with your wallet.
- Network
- An Ethereum address. It is the same address on Arbitrum, where we pay.
- Wallet
- Your own: Bron, MetaMask, Trust, Rabby or any other Ethereum wallet. Open Receive and copy the USDC on Arbitrum address.
- Exchange
- Only if it accepts USDC deposits on Arbitrum One. Not sure? Use your own wallet.
- Not these
- TON, Tron, Bitcoin or Solana addresses, names like name.eth, token contract addresses. The app refuses them.
- Copy it
- Paste, don't type. A wrong letter in a copied address is caught; in a typed one it may not be.
We never ask for any of these
- your recovery phrase (12 or 24 words) or private key
- a signature or a wallet connection "to verify" your payout
- sending funds or paying a fee to receive a reward
Anyone who asks is not TapQA. Don't do it, and write to @tapqa_bot.
People ask
When do I get paid?
After a reviewer validates your report, it goes into the next payout run. Each run sends one transfer per tester, and the bot messages you the transaction link.
When do I add the address?
Any time after you join, in TapQA → Account. You can report without it; your payouts wait until you add it, and the bot reminds you when a report is accepted.
Which wallet should I use?
Bron is recommended: you test the Bron app anyway, and it holds USDC on Arbitrum. Any Ethereum wallet works too, such as MetaMask, Trust, Rainbow or Rabby.
Can I use an exchange address?
Only if the exchange accepts USDC deposits on Arbitrum One. Many don't, and a transfer they don't support may be lost. Your own wallet is the safe choice.
Do I need crypto in the wallet first?
No. You only give us its address, and an empty wallet is fine.
Which network do payouts use?
USDC on Arbitrum One. Your Ethereum address is the same on Arbitrum, so there is nothing to switch.
Can I change the address later?
Yes: TapQA → Account → Change address. Not while a payout to the current one is on its way. Each change is confirmed in the bot chat.
Who sees my address?
Only the TapQA team, usually shortened like 0x5aAe…eAed. Testers never see each other's addresses.
It says the address is already used
That address belongs to another TapQA account. Use a different one, or write to @tapqa_bot if it's yours.
