Most endorsement deals are a handshake, a DM, and an invoice nobody sees. NIL33 was built so that every deal can be checked by a parent, a compliance office, a journalist, or a clearinghouse without asking us.
1. The agreement is signed, and the signature is a record
You read the exact text, type your legal name, draw your signature, and consent to sign electronically (ESIGN and Wyoming UETA). We store the document's SHA-256, the time, your name and email, and a chain hash that includes the previous record. Your receipt recomputes it every time it loads. The founder countersigns; until then nothing is published.
2. The fee is flat, and the ledger says so
Champions get a flat fee for a term. Ambassadors get nothing and say so. Nobody gets a commission, a share of a client fee, or anything tied to recovered funds or athletic performance. The ledger entry shows the compensation type next to the name.
3. The profile is yours
You can sign one gasless message with your own wallet, and the address goes on the ledger as verified. No token, nothing moves, nothing to buy.
4. Every placement is logged
You paste where you posted and the disclosure you used. UnyKorn checks it, as the FTC guides require.
5. Machines can check too
The ledger is JSON at /api/ledger. An agent can pay a cent in USDC to verify an account through the x402 endpoint (challenge live; settlement not yet exercised, and we say so).
That is the whole design: nothing hidden, nothing promised, everything checkable.
