You found an artist — or a writer — whose work you love. You've never met. Everything here exists to get your comic made together, and to keep both of you safe while you do. Here's what you'll see at each step.
Plan the pipeline
The writer maps every stage of the book — pencils, inks, colors, letters, the cover — picks who does each, and sets the pay: per page or flat. The whole cost is on screen before anyone commits.
The money locks before a line is drawn
When it's an artist's turn, the writer funds their stage into its own vault. The artist sees it locked before signing — and each artist is funded only when their turn comes, never the whole book up front.
Pages arrive — watermarked
The artist uploads each page. The writer reviews a watermarked copy; the clean file unlocks when that work is paid for. Approve it, or ask for changes with a note.
Approve, and they're paid
One approval moves that batch's pay straight from the vault to the artist's wallet. No invoice, no chasing. Batch by batch, the book gets drawn and the artist gets paid as they go.
Publish it and sell it
The finished issue goes on the store. Readers get a free preview — never the whole book — and buy with a card or Apple Pay.
How a milestone contract works
Each artist's pay is locked in a smart contract before they start, and released milestone by milestone as the work is approved.

Where the money sits while you work
Not with the writer. Not with the artist. Not with renaissBlock.
Pays in
By card or Apple Pay. No crypto knowledge needed.The vault
Each artist's pay gets its own vault. Every milestone stays locked until it is released to the artist or returned to the writer.
Gets paid
Milestone by milestone. Cash out to a US bank once verified, typically 1–2 business days.Runs the platform around the contract. Never holds the money or your wallet keys.
Public proof
The vault sits on the Solana blockchain. Either of you can look it up, any time.Rules in the code
The 24, 48 and 72-hour rules are built into the smart contract, not left to a promise.Digital dollars
Paid in USDC, a digital dollar pegged 1:1 to the US dollar.
What happens when things go sideways
The rules are set before anyone starts, so nobody has to argue them later.
The artist is paid anyway
72 hours after delivery, an unanswered milestone pays out automatically.Revisions are capped
The limit is part of the terms both sides accept before any work starts.Watermarked until paid
The writer reviews watermarked previews. The clean originals unlock with payment.48 hours of grace, then a refund
The writer can extend or take the funds back. If nobody acts, they return automatically.Full refund for 24 hours
Cancel a milestone before it starts, or in its first 24 hours, and get everything back, fee included.The money comes back in 14 days
Funding the artist doesn't accept within 14 days returns to the writer on its own.Look it up
The locked funds sit at a public address on Solana that anyone can check.Both sides rate each other as the work lands
Those ratings and each person's on-time record follow them to the next project. So before you work with a stranger, you can see how they've treated everyone before you, and they can see you.Merit is earned, not claimed
Every craft you work in has its own ladder — writer, artist, colorist, letterer. You climb it by delivering milestones that get approved, and both sides rate every one. Nobody can talk their way up.
