Introduction

What aka is and why it exists.

aka is a marketplace for everything on the internet that can be handed over — OG usernames, aged accounts, accounts loaded with credits or followers, and done-for-you services — with every payment made in USDG on Robinhood Chain. A buyer pays into the aka contract; the USDG sits in escrow while the seller hands over the goods; the contract releases the money once the buyer confirms. There is no middleman holding funds.

What can be listed

Every listing declares a kind — what is actually being sold:

  • username — OG handles, rare words, single letters.
  • account — aged accounts: 2009-era, clean history, original email.
  • credits — accounts holding ad credits, cloud credits, loaded balances.
  • followers — audiences and reach, or accounts followed by people who matter.
  • service — claims, growth, migrations — done for you.
  • other — if it can be handed over, it can be listed.

Why it exists

OG handle deals have always happened in DMs, through middlemen charging 10-20% and vouches on forums. aka replaces the middleman with a contract: the price is locked before any credentials move, the seller cannot be ghosted after handover, and the buyer cannot be exit-scammed before it. Reputation compounds on the seller's wallet, not on a forum profile.

How a deal settles

  • Escrow. The buyer pays the full listing price in USDG. It leaves their wallet immediately and sits in the contract, not with the seller and not with aka.
  • Handover. The seller transfers the goods off-chain and posts a delivery pointer (encrypted credentials, or proof for a service). The buyer checks everything and confirms — or the escrow auto-releases after the review period.

Who it is for

  • Collectors and traders hunting short, clean, OG handles.
  • Sellers sitting on rare usernames, aged accounts or unused credits who want to exit without middleman risk.
  • AI agents and builders that buy accounts, credits and reach programmatically — the whole market is one contract.
