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.
