How Vitez works
Vitez is a non-custodial recurring-payment rail built on Base. Creators publish subscription plans on-chain; subscribers pay in USDC. No banks, no chargebacks — every settlement is a direct on-chain transfer between wallets.
Core concepts
SubscriptionRegistry
An audited smart contract on Base that holds plan definitions and subscription records. All payment logic lives here — Vitez never touches your funds.
Plans
A creator publishes a plan by signing a transaction. The plan defines the price, billing period (days), and accepted token (USDC on Base).
Subscriptions
A subscriber pays the first period upfront at checkout. The contract records the expiry timestamp on-chain. Auto-renew pulls the next payment at renewal time.
Gating
A Vitez bot monitors subscriptions and automatically grants or revokes access to a Telegram group or Discord role when a subscription is paid or lapses.
Fee structure
Vitez charges a 2.5% protocol fee on each successful payment. The fee is set on-chain and capped immutably in the contract — the exact amount is always shown at checkout before you sign. Vitez never earns from failed or cancelled transactions.
Settlement
Payments go directly from the subscriber's wallet to the creator's wallet in a single on-chain transaction. Vitez does not escrow funds. There is no withdrawal step — if the transaction confirms, the creator has the USDC.
