Lot workflow: publishment to acquisition

A lot is a scouted model profile that travels through a clear, blockchain-audited journey before an agency acquires it. This guide follows that journey end to end, from a scouter's first draft to the moment a deal is finalized onchain.

Every stage maps to an onchain status, so the scouter, the model, the agency, and the wider community all read the same source of truth. If you are new to wallets and onchain actions, start with the Web3 guide first.

Draft: the Hunt Item

Everything starts offchain. A scouter creates the lot as a Hunt Item — model name, contact email, measurements, citizenship, location, and a portfolio link. Spotting the right model type matters here; the Faces guide covers the categories every scouter should recognise at a glance.

Status: NOT_FOUND — the lot lives only in the scouter's workspace, and one lot per model identity is enforced. Step-by-step creation is covered in Scouting instructions.

Model confirmation

Before a lot can go public, the model must confirm it. The scouter invites the model by email; the model signs in with the matching address, reviews the Model Agreement, and either accepts or rejects with a reason.

If rejected: the confirmation state resets so the scouter can edit the profile and re-invite — there is no need to recreate the lot.

Publishment: going onchain

Once confirmed, the scouter publishes the lot onchain together with its pricing terms: a minimum price and a profit share, plus an optional immediate “buy now” price. Publishing writes the onchain record and moves the lot into community review.

Status: VOTING.

Community voting

Newly published lots enter a voting phase. Other scouters review them and cast approve or reject votes weighted by their karma; a creator cannot vote on their own lot. The first side to reach the decision threshold wins, and admins can finalize a decision when needed.

Scouters track pending lots on the voting page. Approval rewards the creator with karma and activates the lot; rejection cancels it and applies a karma penalty.

Status: ACTIVE on approval, CANCELED on rejection.

Live auction

Active lots appear in the marketplace, where agencies browse with filters and see only pre-deal data — nickname, measurements, citizenship, and portfolio — never private contact details. Several agencies can hold active bids on the same lot at once.

Each bid carries an upfront amount plus a profit share and must respect the minimum step. When the scouter has set an immediate price, an agency can accept that deal instantly. Negotiation continues in private, per-agency deal rooms. Agencies can go deeper with the Bidding guide and the Shortlists guide.

Status: ACTIVE.

Accepting a bid: settlement

The scouter explicitly accepts a winning bid — the latest bid does not win automatically. Acceptance opens a settlement window of roughly seven days, during which the agency may appeal and the scouter cannot yet withdraw.

Status: SETTLING.

Appeals

Within the settlement window an agency may appeal — for example, if a profile was misrepresented. An admin reviews the deal room and resolves it in one of three ways: refund and reopen the lot, refund and close it, or dismiss the appeal so the deal proceeds.

Status: APPEALED while under admin review.

Acquisition: fulfillment

When the window passes without a successful appeal — or the agency fulfills early — the deal is finalized onchain. The lot records its acquiring agency, counters update for both sides, and, when both parties allow it, the deal can surface publicly on the live market board.

Status: FULFILLED — the acquisition is complete and immutable.
