Pricing & Guidelines

1. Click Connect Wallet on the homepage Featured Projects card. We support Privy-managed EVM (MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase, Rainbow) and Solana (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare) wallets.
2. Pick the project you want to promote and a tier from the live pricing above.
3. Approve USDC spend (one-time per chain) and submit the promote transaction. Your project goes live within seconds of confirmation.
4. When your slot expires, it returns to the pool automatically. Lifetime promotions never expire.

Sponsored slots are visible to every visitor. To keep VibeTalent useful, we enforce a short list of rules.

Allowed

• Real, working products you (or your team) shipped.
• Open-source projects with a public repository.
• Hackathon or experimental builds — clearly labeled as such in the description.
• Hiring announcements tied to a real project or company.

Not Allowed

• Pump-and-dump tokens, rug pulls, or projects with unverifiable claims.
• Adult, illegal, or hateful content.
• Affiliate-link aggregators or pure ad funnels with no real product.
• Trademark or IP infringement, impersonation, or scams.

We reserve the right to remove a sponsored slot that violates these rules. In that case the remaining paid time is refunded to the original wallet. Decisions are made by the moderation team and can be appealed via feedback.

How much does it cost to feature a project on VibeTalent?

Featured slots start at $2 USDC for 24 hours. We offer four tiers: Day ($2), Week ($10), Month ($29), and Lifetime ($199). Prices are read live from the on-chain contract on Base — no hidden platform fees on top.

What payment methods are accepted?

USDC on Base or Solana. Connect any Privy-supported wallet — MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase, or Rainbow on EVM, and Phantom, Backpack, or Solflare on Solana. Gas is paid separately in ETH (Base) or SOL (Solana).

How long does my featured slot last?

Day = 24 hours. Week = 7 days. Month = 30 days. Lifetime persists indefinitely until the contract is upgraded or removed. The slot starts the moment your transaction confirms on-chain.

Where does my project appear?

At the top of the VibeTalent homepage in the Featured Projects section — the first thing founders see when they visit the marketplace to scout talent.

What happens when my slot expires?

It returns to the available pool automatically — no action needed on your end. Lifetime promotions never expire.

Can I get a refund?

Sales are final once your slot goes live. The one exception: if we remove a slot for violating the content guidelines, the unused paid time is refunded to your original wallet.
