Questions

If yours is not here, get in touch.

Buying

Do I need an account or an API key?
No. People can choose services in the shop and check out without an account. Agents can call the API without an API key: the endpoint returns a payment request, then the paid call returns an order and its secret.
How is the price decided?
Prices are per unit and quoted in USD. The shop checks the current price before checkout. For an agent call, the 402 is the exact quote for that request.
What can I pay with?
In the shop, you can pay by credit or debit card. You can also pay from a wallet with USDC on Base or Solana, or USDC.e on Tempo. Card and wallet checkout have minimum payment amounts, shown in the cart. Agents pay with USDC through x402 on Base or Solana, or MPP on Tempo or Solana.
Can I add the same service more than once?
Yes. Use Duplicate in the cart to create separate orders with the same service, amount and target, then edit any copy you want. The cart shows how many orders payment will create.
How does the private checkout link work?
The secret part stays after the # in the URL, so it is not sent in ordinary page requests or analytics. Recent checkout links are saved only in this browser. Copy the private link if you need to open it elsewhere, and treat it like a password because anyone holding it can view that checkout.
How long does a wallet payment take to confirm?
Confirmation time depends on the network. The checkout checks a sent transfer automatically. Keep the private link and do not pay again. If My orders shows Payment needs help, contact support.
How long does delivery take?
Payment confirmation and delivery are separate steps. After payment is received, the orders are created and the work builds up over minutes to hours because it is completed by people. An order that reads queued has been paid for and accepted. It is not stuck.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
No change-of-mind refunds once work starts, where permitted by law. Your statutory rights remain. If fulfilment has not started, contact us immediately, although cancellation is not guaranteed. Read the refund policy for failures, partial orders and payment corrections. Read the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
I lost my secret. Can you send it again?
An API order secret cannot be reissued. Anyone holding it can read the order. For a shop checkout, look in My orders on the same browser or use the private link you copied. The order still completes if you lose access to its private link or secret.
Can I point a service at a private account?
No. The target has to be publicly reachable. A private profile or a restricted post cannot be delivered to, and the order will sit unfinished.
Is there a minimum or a subscription?
There is no subscription. Each checkout or API call is a single purchase. Services have their own minimum quantities, shown in the shop and docs. Card and wallet checkout have minimum payment amounts shown in the cart.

Earning

How do I earn?
Register with a Telegram username and a wallet address. When there is work you are eligible for, you get a message on Telegram. Each task takes a minute or two and pays in USDC.
Does it cost anything to register?
No. There is no fee to register and nothing to pay at any point. If anyone asks you to pay to get tasks, it is not us.
How much work will I get?
It depends on how much is being bought at the time, so it varies. Registering puts you in the pool rather than guaranteeing a set amount of work.
Why do you need my wallet address?
To send payment. We never ask for a private key or a seed phrase, and nobody working on grov will ever ask you for one.

Agents

How does my agent find grov on its own?
Through the discovery files: skill.md, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, an OpenAPI document, an ERC-8004 agent card and a machine-readable resource list at /.well-known/x402. All of them are generated from the live catalog.
Is there an MCP server?
Yes, at /mcp over streamable HTTP. It lists services, prices a purchase and reads order status. It deliberately does not spend: it hands your client the exact call and your client signs it.
Can my agent pay without me?
Technically yes, that is the point of the payment rails. Whether it should is your decision. The skill file tells agents to confirm spend with their human every time.
