1. Trust Wallet Setup

 

Northline creates a dedicated Trust Wallet for each project.

This wallet becomes the secure holding point for funds related to scopes of work, milestones, or stage payments.

 

 

2. Upfront Funding by the Mine

 

Before work starts, the mine transfers USDT into the trust wallet.

This step confirms that the mine is fully funded for the scope and removes the risk of delayed or incomplete payments.

 

 

3. Milestone Verification

 

Once a milestone is completed, Northline conducts a structured verification process, which may include:

• photographic evidence

• production data

• timesheets

• machine utilisation logs

• supervisor confirmation

• compliance and safety clearance

 

Only verified milestones move forward to payment release.

 

 

4. Evidence Review

 

Our team performs an independent review of submitted evidence.

This protects both the mine and the contractor by ensuring the work completed matches the contracted terms.

 

 

5. Payment Release

 

When both parties confirm completion, Northline authorises a release from the The Trust Wallet.

Funds move instantly from trust to the service provider.

 

 

6. Off Ramp Support

 

Service providers can convert USDT to their nominated fiat bank account, usually same day or within 24 hours, using the TDCR offramp.
