Essentials

What Realife is

The simple version: Realife turns stablecoin payments into protected real-world commerce orders.

What is Realife?+
Realife is a stablecoin escrow marketplace for real-world goods and services. Buyers can pay with stablecoins, sellers can offer real products or services, and the order can be protected with escrow, delivery or service confirmation, and an NFT-linked receipt.
Is Realife only an NFT marketplace?+
No. Realife uses NFTs as receipts, claims, or transaction rights connected to real-world commerce. The goal is not speculation or collectible hype. The goal is to make blockchain useful for real products, services, work, delivery, and trusted settlement.
What can people buy or sell on Realife?+
Realife is designed for physical goods, digital services, online sessions, local or offline services, creative work, business services, travel offers, tickets, merch, fitness sessions, education, consulting, and other real-world value. Some categories may require verification, manual approval, or restricted rules.
Who is Realife for first?+
The first wedge is crypto-native sellers and buyers who already use wallets or stablecoins. This includes remote workers, developers, designers, marketers, moderators, creators, service providers, small sellers, DAOs, Web3 teams, and stablecoin users who need more protection than direct transfers or Telegram OTC deals.
Tokenization

NFT receipts and real-world rights

In Realife, tokenization means attaching an onchain receipt or claim to a real order outcome.

Why does Realife use NFTs?+
Realife uses NFTs to represent a receipt, claim, access right, or proof connected to a product, service, order, or outcome. The NFT is part of the transaction record. It helps show what was purchased, what should be delivered, and how the order moved through the Realife flow.
What is an NFT receipt?+
An NFT receipt is a tokenized record linked to a real-world order. It can represent the buyer's claim to a product, service, session, delivery, or completed outcome. It is not meant to be an empty picture. It is meant to connect digital ownership with a real commerce action.
Does the NFT mean I legally own a physical asset?+
The safest way to understand it is: the NFT can represent a transaction right, claim, receipt, access, or proof connected to a real-world order. Exact legal meaning can depend on the category, seller terms, jurisdiction, and future marketplace policy.
Can a service be tokenized?+
Yes. A service can be represented by an NFT-linked order or claim. For example, a design task, consulting session, fitness session, online class, marketing task, website work, or local service can have scope, price, delivery terms, proof, buyer confirmation, and dispute history connected to the order.
Escrow

How protected orders work

Escrow is the trust layer between strangers: the buyer should not blindly prepay, and the seller should not work without payment confidence.

How does escrow work on Realife?+
A buyer pays for a product or service, and the funds are held in escrow while the seller fulfills the order. After the product is delivered or the service is completed and confirmed, funds can be released to the seller. If something goes wrong, the order can move into a resolution path.
When does the seller get paid?+
The seller gets paid after the order reaches a successful outcome: delivery, completion, buyer confirmation, or another accepted settlement state. Realife is designed around completed commerce, not instant payout before the seller delivers.
What happens if buyer and seller disagree?+
If there is a dispute, funds stay in escrow while the issue is reviewed. Realife can use order state, seller proof, delivery proof, service evidence, deadlines, messages, buyer confirmation, account history, and manual review for exceptional cases.
Can every dispute be solved automatically by a smart contract?+
No. A smart contract can hold and release funds, but it cannot fully judge real-world quality, damaged goods, missing items, late delivery, or subjective service work. Realife combines smart contract logic with order evidence, policies, reputation, deadlines, and human review when needed.
Services and delivery

Goods, services, and order rooms

Realife is built for real commerce flows, not only simple NFT listings.

How do online services work?+
Before payment, the buyer and seller should understand scope, deliverables, timeline, revision rules, acceptance rules, and refund conditions. The seller then submits work or proof inside the order flow. The buyer can accept, request revision, or open a dispute before the deadline.
How do physical goods work?+
Physical goods can include product condition, packaging proof, shipping details, tracking, buyer inspection, and confirmation. For fragile or higher-risk items, Realife can require stronger seller rules, verification, deposits, insurance, or category restrictions.
What is a protected order room?+
A protected order room is the place where the order lifecycle is tracked: payment, NFT receipt, order state, seller proof, buyer confirmation, messages, revisions, dispute status, release, refund, or resolution.
Can sellers offer local or offline services?+
Yes. Realife can support local services such as fitness sessions, lessons, tours, photography, repairs, beauty services, cleaning, coaching, and other offline work. Local service listings can include country, city, and service area.
Payments and wallets

Stablecoins, wallets, and onboarding

Realife starts crypto-native, but the product is designed to become easier for Web2 users over time.

What currency does Realife use?+
Realife is designed around stablecoin commerce, especially USDC flows. Stablecoins make global settlement faster and more native to Web3 users, while escrow adds protection around real-world outcomes.
Do I need a wallet?+
For the current Web3 flow, users connect a wallet to mint, list, buy, or interact with protected orders. Realife is also preparing easier onboarding through Web2-style login and embedded wallets so normal users can use the product without learning every crypto step first.
What chain is Realife on now?+
The current live MVP runs on Base Sepolia testnet. Realife is not yet a mainnet commerce product. The next major step is security hardening, compliance planning, mainnet USDC readiness, and limited real transaction pilots.
Do users need real funds on testnet?+
No. The current MVP is for testing flows such as NFT creation, marketplace listings, trading, and protected escrow logic. Testnet usage should not require real mainnet funds.
Trust and safety

Rules, reviews, and compliance discipline

Real-world commerce needs more than open posting. It needs rules, proof, and safety controls.

Is Realife fully permissionless?+
Not for every flow. Real goods and services require safety rules, restricted categories, seller verification, dispute policy, and support paths. Some sellers, listings, or high-risk categories may need manual review or approval.
How does Realife reduce fraud?+
Realife can use wallet history, user profiles, seller verification, order evidence, delivery proof, service proof, buyer confirmation, dispute history, IP and country signals, admin review, and future reputation tools to detect suspicious behavior and improve trust.
What happens to prohibited or fake listings?+
Realife can remove fake, empty, unsafe, or prohibited listings and restrict risky categories. The platform is designed to become a trusted commerce layer, not an unmoderated place for anything.
Is Realife compliant today?+
Realife is currently a testnet MVP. Before scaling mainnet commerce, Realife needs legal review, marketplace terms, restricted category policy, supported-market strategy, seller verification rules, security audits, and custody or payment partner diligence where required.
Business model

How Realife makes money

The business model is tied to completed protected commerce, not fake volume.

What fee does Realife charge?+
The base model is a 2.5% fee on completed transactions. Realife earns when protected commerce closes successfully, so the platform is aligned with real buyer-seller outcomes.
Are there future paid seller tools?+
Yes, but only after real transaction demand exists. Future tools can include verification, storefronts, promoted listings, analytics, AI seller workflows, and risk-based protection fees for higher-support orders.
Will Realife launch a token?+
There is no token today and no guaranteed airdrop. Realife can use points, reputation, access, and rewards tied to real contribution. A token should only be explored later if it is legally safe and useful for rewards, governance, or participation.
AI

AI as a commerce assistant

AI is useful, but it is not the core product. The core product is protected stablecoin commerce.

How does Realife use AI?+
AI helps sellers create better listings faster: descriptions, categories, delivery terms, service scope, buyer-friendly wording, visual assets, translation, search, metadata, and order support. AI reduces friction, but escrow, NFT receipts, and order state are the core trust layer.
Can AI help with disputes?+
AI can help collect evidence, summarize buyer and seller claims, flag missing proof, check policy, and prepare cases for review. It should assist human decision-making, not blindly replace it for complex real-world disputes.
Still early

Realife is live on testnet and moving toward mainnet commerce.

The current MVP is for proving the product surface: minting, marketplace activity, protected order flows, wallet-based onboarding, AI-assisted listings, and admin tooling. Mainnet launch requires security hardening, compliance review, USDC settlement readiness, seller onboarding, and controlled pilots.
