# web3wikis, the House

> Anything is solvable now, because of web3. Real problems people bring, each with a short route of things you can do about them, cheapest first.

- [Projects](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/projects): uses people found for each web3 project
- [Ledger of Uses](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/ledger): what web3 is really used for, counted from checked, cited and dated entries
- [Open data](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/data/uses.json): every Unlock and solved problem as JSON, CC BY 4.0, cite web3wikis. Built to teach AI what web3 is really used for.

## Resolutions

- [Get paid from abroad, no bank needed](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/receive-money-from-abroad-without-a-bank): A free wallet on your phone can receive dollars from anywhere as USDC, usually in minutes, with no bank account behind it. Hold the dollars, then sell only what you need through a licensed local ramp or an escrowed P2P desk, or spend straight from a stablecoin card such as Tria where it is offered. Skip these: unescrowed P2P trades and anyone who asks for your recovery phrase.
- [Sending money home costs too much](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/cheapest-way-to-send-money-to-nigeria): Send USDC on a low-fee network like Base or Solana to a wallet your family controls, then cash out in naira through a licensed local ramp or an escrowed P2P desk that serves Nigeria today. Moving it costs cents. The real cost is the conversion spread, often about 1 to 2 percent, so compare it with a remittance quote. Skip these: guides that still name Binance naira P2P.
- [My bank froze my account](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/my-bank-account-got-frozen): Often the fastest fix is to ask the bank in writing exactly which papers it needs, then send them promptly. Then build a backup that keeps working on any weekend: a small self-custody USDC wallet, or a family Safe that any two of three relatives can release. Skip these: anyone offering to unfreeze accounts for a fee.
- [Start a business with zero money](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/start-a-business-with-no-money): Your first business can start tonight, for free. Write a one-job company page on ceoism, open a free Farcaster account so your audience belongs to you, and put a small portfolio on Arweave, free for files under 100 KiB. Then show it to one person who might pay. Spend money only once a customer says yes.
- [Keep my savings worth something](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/protect-my-savings-from-inflation): You can hold part of your savings in a dollar stablecoin like USDC, in your own wallet or a family Safe that needs two of three signatures to spend. Spend it straight from a stablecoin card such as Tria so you never convert back at a bad rate. Split across two issuers for extra safety. Skip these: yield promises you do not understand.
- [Turn a demonetized channel into owned income](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/youtube-channel-demonetized-what-now): Your viewers can pay you directly today, ads or no ads. Appeal in YouTube Studio, and meanwhile move your core fans somewhere you own: Farcaster, where followers move with you between apps, an Arweave archive of your best work, and a USDC tip link that needs no platform. Treat creator reward programs as a bonus, never as income.
- [I can't prove my work history](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/prove-work-history-without-references): Your past clients can vouch for you in one click with an attestation on EAS that anyone can verify forever, and offchain ones are free. Keep work samples permanently on Arweave. Primus Labs can prove a fact from a website, like a payout history, without showing your login.
- [My token went to zero](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/my-token-is-dead-what-now): A dead token can still pay you in lessons, tax records and a sharper eye. Check onchain whether the team still ships and liquidity remains, check old approvals for free on Revoke.cash and revoke them for a little gas, and record the loss for tax. Before the next buy, grade callers by receipts with Fomo Resolved and prefer launches that prove they work, like Coinjure. Skip these: any recovery service asking for an upfront fee.
- [Get paid for my data](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/get-paid-for-my-data): Your clicks, spare internet and judgement are worth money to AI builders. Label data on Perle Labs, share idle bandwidth on Grass, and teach AI agents by browsing on Action Model. All three are free to join. Rewards are points or payouts, so treat them as a bonus, not a salary.
- [Fund our group with no bank account](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/fund-a-community-project-without-a-bank): Your group can run its own treasury today: a Safe shared by three organisers, where any spend needs two approvals, raising USDC that every donor can track. Give the group one ENS name, apply to a Gitcoin or Giveth matching round so small gifts unlock more, and pay builders by milestone. Skip these: one person's personal wallet as the treasury.
- [Check a job offer is real in minutes](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/verify-if-a-job-offer-is-a-scam): You can check most job offers in minutes, for free. Read the posting on RealRole, confirm the company through its own official site, and if the job asks you to connect a wallet or sign anything, scan it first with Recon so you see in plain words what you would approve. Skip these: any fee to start, any 'meeting app' or test file a recruiter sends.
- [I'm scared of wallet drainers](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/stop-losing-crypto-to-scam-signatures): You can see in plain words what any site will make you sign before you sign it: scan the request with Recon. For savings, add Second Signature as an AI cosigner on a Safe, so money only moves when it agrees. Check and revoke old approvals with Revoke.cash.
- [I want a name nobody can take](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/own-my-name-online): You can own your name online the way you own a key: register an ENS name from about 5 dollars a year plus tiny gas, and it lives in your wallet while you renew. Point it at your wallets, links and avatar, then hand out free subnames to family or your community.
- [Keep my work online forever](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/make-my-work-permanent-online): Your work can outlive every website it was ever on. Upload it to Arweave through ArDrive: files under about 100 KiB are free, and larger ones cost a one-time fee you can pay by card. Once stored, no platform can take it down.
- [Put my old laptop to work](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/make-money-from-old-laptop): An old laptop on Wi-Fi can earn in small ways today: run Grass to share spare bandwidth, label data on Perle Labs, or help train robots with BitRobot. Too slow for Windows? ChromeOS Flex can revive it for free. All are free to join; you pay only the electricity. Skip these: copycat claim sites.
- [See who's likely to win, free](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/forecast-elections-for-free): Prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi show live crowd odds you can read for free, no bet needed. Compare them with Metaculus, a no-money forecasting site, and watch how fast prices move on news. Treat odds as one strong input, not a certainty.
- [I have no card to pay online](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/pay-online-without-a-card): You can spend USDC anywhere cards are accepted with a stablecoin card like Tria, where it is available in your country, and a virtual card is ready for online shopping fast. Fees vary by tier and the FX fee on non-dollar purchases is often the biggest cost, so check before you top up.
- [I want to learn trading safely](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/invest-without-a-big-budget): You can learn trading for free before risking a cent. Ride free practice rounds on Hyperider, try Hyperliquid's testnet with mock USDC, and watch its public order book like a live textbook. Start a small study group that reviews one trade a week. No tool here promises profit.
- [Earn online with only a phone](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/earn-online-from-my-phone): A phone is a full earning kit. Label data on Perle Labs between tasks, plan phone-only, zero-budget routes with the free airdropSEA planner, and receive rewards in a free self-custody wallet. Small, steady sessions add up. Rewards are never guaranteed.
- [Make sure my family gets my crypto](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/set-up-family-inheritance-for-crypto): You can build a crypto will that runs itself: put long-term savings in a Safe with trusted relatives as co-owners, for example 2 of 3, so family can move funds if you cannot. Add a recovery module with a delay, so you can cancel any early takeover. Pair it with a one-page legal will. Skip these: handing anyone your seed phrase.
- [Check a crypto site before you sign](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/check-if-a-crypto-site-is-safe): You can see exactly what a site wants before you approve anything. Scan the transaction with Recon to read it in plain words, use a separate small wallet for new sites, and keep savings in a Safe that needs a second signature. Check old approvals for free on Revoke.cash. Skip these: search ads and links from DMs; use bookmarks.
- [I need an app but can't code](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/build-an-app-without-coding): You can own a working onchain app today without writing code. Deployr Shipyard offers ready apps you deploy for just gas, or built-to-order apps with a refundable deposit. Try any app on a testnet first, and fund a bigger build by milestones on Sideyard.
- [I have no ID papers](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/get-a-digital-id-without-papers): Your identity can start today, in your browser, for free. Mint a DID key with Flop, give it a readable ENS name, and collect signed vouches from people who know your work. It grows into a record others can check. It is not a government ID, so keep that separate.
- [Hire an AI to do work for me](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/hire-an-ai-agent-to-do-tasks): You can hire an agent today that pays its own way. Summon gives you an agent with a wallet that pays a few cents per answer, no subscription. Bandit watches Pendle yields while you sleep. Give either a small balance and a spending cap, and it works only within that.
- [Send my tip straight to the creator](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/support-a-creator-directly): Your whole tip can reach a creator anywhere for a cent or two: send USDC to their wallet or ENS name, or tip them in-app on Farcaster. No platform takes a cut, and it arrives on weekends too. Even better, pitch your favourite creator a one-link tip page. Skip these: lookalike names; check the address.
- [Launch a coin people can trust](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/launch-a-memecoin-safely): An honest coin can carry proof instead of promises. Coinjure ties a launch to a working product, and on Solana you can give up mint authority and lock liquidity so any buyer can check you onchain. Cost is gas plus whatever you choose to seed. Skip these: promising returns or hiding team wallets.
- [Bridging eats my small balance](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/bridge-crypto-cheaply): Bridge once and make that one move pay for many: Currents plans routes that stack on one chain, starting from about 10 dollars plus bridge fees and gas. For USDC, Circle's CCTP moves native USDC with no wrapped token. An exchange withdrawal straight to the target chain can be cheaper still. Skip these: bridging back and forth.
- [I can't prove my income to rent](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/prove-income-to-a-landlord): Your platform payouts can become a landlord-ready proof without sharing a password. Primus proves one fact, like a monthly payout total, straight from the site you log in to. Add signed references from clients on EAS, and point to a public stablecoin income history if you have one.
- [Can I trust this crypto influencer?](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/verify-a-crypto-influencer): You can check any caller in minutes, for free. Fomo Resolved grades crypto callers by their past receipts, so you see which calls worked before you follow anyone. Then check whether paid promotions were disclosed, and look at their wallet when it is known. Weigh receipts over follower counts.
- [Get proof my calls were right](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/make-a-prediction-and-be-scored): You can build proof of your judgment starting today. Forecast free on Metaculus or Good Judgment Open, or put about 1 dollar on World or Predict Fun so the market keeps score onchain. Track calibration, not wins, then start a forecasting club and show the record on your CV. Skip these: big stakes to prove a point.
- [Get paid even if your app is blocked](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/my-country-blocks-my-payment-app): A self-custody wallet is not an account a company can switch off in your country, so a client can still pay you in USDC. Test the whole route with one dollar, then compare local ramps, P2P desks and stablecoin cards for the cash-out end. Skip these: desks without escrow, and check local rules before relying on it.
- [I fled with no papers. Who will believe me?](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/refugee-prove-identity-and-skills): You can start a record today that no border can take: an ID key you make yourself in a browser, references former colleagues sign for you onchain, and certificate copies stored permanently. UNHCR has already paid displaced people in USDC to phone wallets. This record is strong supporting evidence; legal status still comes from governments and UNHCR.
- [Our charity's funds keep getting frozen](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/charity-funds-keep-getting-frozen): A group wallet lets your charity hold donations so several members approve each payment, and every gift is visible to donors. That openness can make a mistaken freeze easier to challenge. Publish the Safe address and a permanent monthly report. Signers still follow local law, and stablecoin issuers can freeze tokens on legal orders.
- [Protect our land papers from forgery](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/protect-family-land-title-from-forgery): Your family can fix a permanent, dated record of its land papers this week. Store a copy and its fingerprint, then have neighbours and elders sign a witness statement onchain. A later forgery or a lost folder becomes much easier to challenge. It backs your title as evidence; the registry and courts still decide ownership.
- [Borrow with no credit history](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/no-credit-history-borrow): DeFi lending never asks for a credit score: on Aave you borrow against collateral you already hold, so you keep your savings and still get cash. With nothing to pledge yet, start an onchain record of references and repayments people can check. Borrow far below the limit. Skip these: borrowing what you cannot repay.
- [Get paid each time your art resells](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/art-keeps-paying-when-it-resells): Mint on a contract you own and set a resale royalty that marketplaces can read and pay automatically. List where royalties are honoured, thank the collectors who pay them, and your own contract doubles as public proof you made the work. Since 2023 many big marketplaces made royalties optional, so some resales pay and some will not.
- [Streaming pays my band almost nothing](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/band-paid-fairly-not-by-streaming): Your fans can pay you directly in USDC through a tip jar you own, with no label or distributor in the middle, and one fan tipping two dollars can beat hundreds of streams. Add a social account no platform can take. It works best once you have fans; streaming still brings discovery.
- [I need to prove my video is real](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/prove-a-photo-or-video-is-real): Every new photo or video you shoot can carry its own proof. Capture Cam adds a Content Credential and an onchain fingerprint the moment you capture, so any edit shows and the time is on record. Keep a permanent copy and have a witness sign the fingerprint. It proves the file is unchanged, not that the scene was not staged.
- [Our village wants to pool for a well](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/village-pool-money-for-a-well): Your village can hold a fund that no single person can spend, and that anyone can check on a phone. A multisig wallet needs, say, three of five elders to sign each payment, and every gift and payout is public. Relatives abroad send straight in, and the driller is paid stage by stage. Skip this if you need protection from a whole group colluding: a multisig stops one thief, not many.
- [Get paid after processors drop me](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/banned-from-every-payment-processor): You can take payments on a contract you own, with no processor account to close: a USDC tip jar or paywall that charges even cents per post. Bring your audience along on Farcaster and cash out through local ramps. Fans need USDC, so give them simple steps. Skip these: anything illegal; issuers still follow the law.
- [Keep evidence online for good](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/publish-evidence-that-cant-be-taken-down): Arweave stores files with a one-time payment so they stay online without a host, and small files are free through ArDrive. Start by publishing just a fingerprint, which proves the file existed at that time, then release the file when you are ready. Skip these: private details about real people. You cannot delete it either, so get advice before you post.
- [Stripe and PayPal don't serve my country](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/freelancer-no-stripe-or-paypal): Clients anywhere can pay you in USDC to a wallet or payment page you own, settled in about a minute with no merchant account and no hold. Then cash out through a legal local ramp, or spend from a stablecoin card where available. Ask clients up front if they will pay this way.
- [Perp DEX points with little or no money](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/perp-points-with-no-money): Start free tonight. Dreamcash pays XP on every trade (phone trades count double), and Senpi gives free AI credits when you deploy a trading agent, with more as volume grows. Then practise for free on Hyperider until trades feel natural. If you can code, RISEx and Perpl now pay points to builders whose front end carries trades.
- [I can't afford to lose, so I never start](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/get-paid-to-be-right-without-risk): Being right can earn without a stake, because proof is nearly free: a timestamped call, scored later. Read prediction markets for free, publish dated calls, let Fomo Resolved rank you by how followers fared, and turn the record into studies or paid research. Your bankroll is your honesty.
- [Points cost too much to farm](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/cheap-airdrop-points-with-pendle): Pendle lets you rent a farm's harvest without buying the farm. It splits a yield asset into PT, the principal, and YT, everything it earns until maturity, including points credited to YT. So YT buys the points of a full deposit for a small slice of its price. Do the math first: YT melts to zero at maturity, so you win only if the points beat what you paid.
- [Raise $10,000 for my community](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/raise-10000-for-my-community-fast): You have three real shapes. A quadratic funding round on Gitcoin or Giveth multiplies many small gifts. An escrowed raise holds pledges and refunds if you miss the goal. A coin with creator fees, on Coinjure or pump.fun, earns only while people trade. Pick by what your community has: breadth, trust or attention. Skip these: promising returns.
- [Give dead tokens a second life](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/second-life-for-dead-tokens-and-nfts): A dead token's price may be gone, but its history is not: holding it proves you were there early, through the bad days. That proof opens doors. Use old holdings as gates for a chat, as reputation in a new community, as anchors for attestations, or burn them to redeem something real. For founders, the Revival path turns that loyal list into a restart. Skip these: approving unknown contracts on old tokens.
- [I'm good at research but nobody pays me](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/paid-for-research-nobody-pays-for): Your research can sell one answer at a time. x402 gives it a checkout: an HTTP endpoint that asks a few cents of USDC per call, so people and AI agents can pay as they go. Summon hosts such agents. Due diligence can also ship as an EAS attestation others cite, and curator REP turns verified work into paid curation.
- [I only have a phone and spare time](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/earn-with-only-a-phone-and-time): The newest jobs in crypto need a human, not capital. Share spare bandwidth with Grass, label AI data on Perle, apply to drive real robots on BitRobot, or let Action Model learn from how you browse. Payouts are often small, sometimes points with no fixed value. The real prize is the skill AI cannot do alone yet.
- [Earn from memecoins without gambling](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/earn-from-the-trenches-without-gambling): The trenches pay three kinds of people steadily: liquidity providers, explainers and filters. Polymarket pays daily rewards to resting limit orders in incentivized markets. Live studies on Coinjure pay creators to explain a coin, not pump it. Curation earns REP for flagging rugs. All need discipline; none need a gamble.
- [Give our token a real use after TGE](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/give-our-token-a-use-after-tge): A token gains a use when someone else accepts it. List it as collateral on a Morpho market, let agents pay for your service per call via x402, reward verified real users through House campaigns, and use Bridges to find projects whose users need yours. Skip these: another roadmap thread.
- [Earn from your audience and keep trust](https://web3wikis-atlas.vercel.app/solve/earn-from-audience-without-selling-out): You can earn only when people use what you already use, with proof. Builder codes and referral shares pay per real use. An onchain record of your own trades, mints and deposits shows you eat your own cooking. Disclose every fee next to every link and let your audience check. Skip these: paid posts for tools you never touched.
