Credits and escrow

Credits are the platform currency used inside Authoriflow.

Your credits are set automatically by the platform using the website's own score signals, especially DR and other website quality data.

That means the credit value comes from the giving website, not from the request itself.

What credits are for

Credits are used when you want to:

• Request a backlink
• Increase the bid on a request with a multiplier
• Pay for network activity in the marketplace

How credits are calculated

Authoriflow calculates credits automatically based on the giving website's score profile.

In practice, that means:

• A stronger website gets a higher credit value
• A weaker website gets a lower credit value
• The value only changes when the website score changes
• Every backlink given by the same website follows the same credit value until that score changes

This keeps the platform predictable and fair.

Credit multiplier

When creating a request, a user can add a multiplier to bid more credits.

The multiplier does not change the website's base credit calculation. It only changes how much the user is willing to offer for that request. For example, a 150% multiplier charges 1.5x the base credit cost, and a 200% multiplier charges 2x.

Use a multiplier when you want to:

• Compete more aggressively for a placement
• Increase the request's appeal
• Pay more than the default calculated amount

What escrow means

Escrow means credits are held temporarily while an exchange is in progress.

This protects both sides:

• The requester knows the task is being handled
• The giver knows the reward is reserved

Simple flow

1. A request is accepted
2. Credits are locked in escrow
3. The backlink is placed
4. The backlink is verified
5. Credits are released or returned based on the result

Why this matters

Escrow keeps the marketplace fair and reduces confusion.

It makes the exchange process feel more predictable for both sides.

Good habits

• Keep an eye on your available credit balance
• Review the cost before sending a request
• Make sure your site settings match your strategy
• Remember that your credit value follows your website scores
• Use a multiplier only when you want to bid more on a request

If you understand credits and escrow, the rest of the platform becomes much easier to follow.
