Your USD balance lives in Forge under Earnings. It's the running total of all the money you've earned but haven't cashed out yet.
The page shows:
- Current balance — what's available right now to cash out.
- Pending balance — credits that are in a brief hold (refundable Drops within the first 24 hours, recently-completed Premium Nasqs in their attribution-settlement window).
- Lifetime earnings — total ever earned, all sources, since you signed up.
- This month — running total for the current calendar month.
Below the summary, every credit and every cashout is listed in History. Filter by source (Drop, Subscription, Access Nasq, Premium Nasq) or date range.
A few things:
- Pending balance moves to current balance automatically. You don't do anything.
- Your balance is in USD regardless of where you're based. Currency conversion happens at cashout if your payout bank takes another currency.
- Refunds (a viewer disputes a Drop, a subscription is canceled mid-period) come off your balance immediately. If your balance can't cover it, it goes negative and earns out of future revenue.
When you're ready to move money to your bank, see Cashing out.
