How FaucetFunds Works
FaucetFunds is a payment clearinghouse for reward and faucet platforms.
FaucetFunds maintains internal ledger balances for participating users and operators. Connected sites credit user balances through the FaucetFunds API, operators fund payout capacity for those sites, and withdrawals are reviewed and processed manually by administration.
System Roles
User
Users receive balance credits from participating platforms and may request withdrawals once the applicable method minimum is reached.
Users cannot deposit funds into FaucetFunds.
Operator
An Operator is a site owner, webmaster, or platform administrator who funds payout balances used to credit users through FaucetFunds integrations.
Operator balances are separate from personal user balances and are used solely for platform payout activity.
Operator balances should be treated as a hot wallet used for active payout operations.
Payment Flow
- An operator funds a FaucetFunds operator balance for a supported method.
- A connected site submits payout credits to FaucetFunds through the API.
- The operator balance is reduced and the user balance is credited internally.
- The user requests a withdrawal when the applicable minimum is met.
- Administration reviews the request and settles it manually.
Important Limitations
- FaucetFunds does not provide deposit functionality for users.
- FaucetFunds does not provide withdrawal functionality for operators.
- There are no minimum or maximum operator deposit limits.
- Operator balances are intended only for connected-site payout activity and should be funded only as needed.
- Network fees are determined by the underlying blockchain at the time of settlement and are deducted during withdrawal processing.
