Job Poster Guide

StableLance makes it simple for recruiters to fund their wallet, create projects, and send direct payments to freelancers — all powered by USDT on the Polygon network (POL). You can use any supported exchange, but here we’ll guide you through the two most common ones: OKX and Binance.

Quickstart

If you haven’t done the quickstart configuration yet, please do so before proceeding.

​
Funding your wallet

​
Step 1. Buy USDT (Stablecoin)

You’ll need USDT (Polygon Network) to fund your StableLance wallet. You can buy it directly from your exchange using fiat or via peer-to-peer (P2P) trading.
💡 Official OKX tutorial: How to buy crypto with OKX →
  1. Open your OKX App or log in to okx.com.
  2. Go to the Buy Crypto tab in the top menu.
  3. Choose P2P Trading or Quick Buy.
  4. Select USDT as the cryptocurrency.
  5. Enter your desired amount in USD (e.g. 10or10 or 50).
  6. Choose your preferred payment method (bank card, transfer, etc.).
  7. Review the rate and tap Buy USDT.
  8. Wait for the transaction to complete, then check your Funding Account to see your USDT balance.
After buying USDT, it’s held in your Funding Account. You’ll transfer it later to your StableLance wallet via Withdraw.
💡 Official Binance tutorial: How to buy crypto on Binance P2P →
  1. Open your Binance App or go to binance.com.
  2. Tap or click Buy Crypto → P2P Trading.
  3. Choose USDT and select your preferred fiat currency (e.g. USD).
  4. Tap Buy USDT and choose a verified seller.
  5. Enter the amount you want to purchase (e.g. $20).
  6. Complete payment and wait for confirmation.
  7. Once confirmed, the USDT will appear in your Funding Wallet.
For faster transactions, choose verified (yellow-badge) merchants with a 95%+ completion rate.

​
Step 2. Buy a Small Amount of POL (Polygon Gas Fee)

You’ll need a small amount of POL (formerly MATIC) for network fees — typically less than $0.05 per transaction for withdrawing your money out from StableLance in the future.
StableLance transactions between job posters and freelancers are gasless. Only sending out will require POL.
💡 Official OKX tutorial: How to buy crypto on OKX →
  1. In OKX, go to Trade → Convert or Buy Crypto.
  2. Select From: USDT, To: POL (Polygon).
  3. Enter a small amount — around 1–1–2 worth is enough.
  4. Tap Convert Now.
  5. You’ll see your POL balance appear in your Funding Account.
💡 Official Binance tutorial: How to buy and sell crypto instantly with Binance Convert →
  1. Open the Binance App or website.
  2. Navigate to Trade → Convert.
  3. Select From: USDT, To: POL.
  4. Enter the amount (around 1–1–2 worth).
  5. Tap Preview Conversion → Confirm.
  6. Your POL will appear in your Spot Wallet.

​
Step 3. Send USDT to Your StableLance Wallet

After you’ve bought USDT (and a bit of POL), you can now send your funds to your StableLance wallet address.
⚠️ Important: Make sure you use the Polygon network (POLYGON / MATIC) when withdrawing to StableLance.Using the wrong network can result in permanent loss of funds.
💡 Official OKX withdrawal tutorial: How to withdraw crypto on OKX →
  1. In the OKX App or website, go to Wallet → Assets → Withdraw.
  2. Select USDT.
  3. Choose On-chain withdrawal.
  4. Select or Paste your StableLance wallet address (Polygon network).
  5. Set Network: Polygon (POL).
  6. Enter the amount (e.g. 10 USDT).
  7. Review and confirm the withdrawal.
💰 Fee: OKX charges 0.8 USDT, so sending 10 USDT will result in 9.2 USDT arriving in your StableLance wallet.
You can track your transaction under Assets → Withdraw history or through Polygonscan.
💡 Official Binance withdrawal tutorial: How to withdraw crypto from Binance →
  1. On the Binance App or website, go to Assets → Funding or Spot Wallet.
  2. Tap Withdraw.
  3. Select USDT.
  4. Select or Paste your StableLance wallet address (Polygon network).
  5. Choose Network: Polygon (POL).
  6. Enter the amount (e.g. 10 USDT).
  7. Tap Withdraw → Confirm.
💰 Fee: Binance charges 0.08 USDT, so sending 10 USDT will result in 9.92 USDT received by StableLance.
You can verify successful transfers under Wallet → Transaction History or by checking your wallet on Polygonscan.

​
Step 4. Verify Funds in StableLance

Once sent, return to your StableLance dashboard → Wallet Management.
You’ll see your USDT balance reflected within 1–2 minutes (Polygon confirmations are fast). Your funds are now ready to use for creating projects, milestone funding, or direct freelancer payments.

​
Creating Projects

There are two ways to setup projects:
  1. Direct Invite
  • Invite a freelancer of your choice if you know their email. They will receive an email even if they aren’t registered yet to StableLance.
  1. Publish to Marketplace
  • Any freelancer can see the Marketplace and apply to your post. You can then choose which freelancer to work with.
But both are the same in terms of setting up.

​
1. Create a New Job
