You never start on zero. Your balance fills the moment you list your gap nights, and grows as the network books them.
Commit your unsold nights and credits land in your balance straight away, at your live market rate. Spendable now, no waiting for a booking.
When members book your committed nights, those credits fully unlock and your host balance keeps recharging.
Founding operators receive a starter grant of credits when they join and list, so the network has liquidity from day one.
Want to travel before you have earned enough? Top up your balance with cash at 1:1, any time.
Committing unsold nights adds credits now. You can spend 65% straight away; the rest unlocks as each night is booked.
Buy credits 1:1 with USD to book before you have earned. Optional, not the main path.
