Commercial path

Choose the lane that matches the buying motion

This is the shortest route from “we should keep evaluating” to “we know what we need next.” Crypto settlement stays native on-site. Invoice and wire buyers move into a Mercury-backed commercial lane with confirmation inside one business day.

// COMMERCIAL OPS

The commercial system should feel as deliberate as the rest of the site: clear tier fit, explicit buyer assurance, and a credible bank-transfer route instead of a vague manual handoff.

  • No wallet connect, browser extension, or forced account creation.
  • Mercury-backed invoice and wire handling are the primary bank-transfer path for commercial tiers.
  • Tier selection should clarify the next step, not create a new research task.

Payment + procurement

Mercury-backed invoice / wire

Invoice and wire buyers start on-site, but the bank-transfer path is anchored in Mercury operations rather than a vague “email us for details” flow.

  • Submit billing context without creating an account.
  • Receive the right invoice or wire route by email within one business day.
  • Manual fallback stays available if bank ops require review before instructions are issued.

Crypto lane

Native on-site settlement

Crypto buyers stay in the product flow: choose the chain, select the token, send to the displayed address, and optionally submit the transaction hash immediately or later.

  • Base, Ethereum, and Unichain are supported.
  • USDC, USDbC, ETH, and WETH are accepted where supported on-chain.
  • The response loop is still explicit: buyers get confirmation and next-step timing.

Commercial FAQs

Answer the buyer questions before they slow the motion

FAQ

What is the difference between the three tiers?

Tier 1 is a fast, fixed-scope audit. Tier 2 is for settlement infrastructure and recurring commercial flow. Tier 3 is for high-touch protocol or infrastructure deployment where scoping, procurement, and implementation all matter.

FAQ

How does the Mercury path work?

Mercury-backed invoice and wire handling are the primary bank-transfer route for commercial engagements. Buyers submit billing context on-site, then Orkid confirms the right invoice or wire instructions by email within one business day.

FAQ

Do I need a wallet or account to start?

No. Crypto buyers can submit intent without wallet connect or account creation. Invoice and wire buyers start with billing context only, then receive the right follow-up route by email.

FAQ

What if we are interested but not ready to pay today?

Use the launch brief, protocol packet, or comparison pages to keep evaluating. The commercial path is for teams that already have a scoped need or want a formal buying lane.
