How It Works
deves.me uses blockchain wallets under the hood for authentication and optional crypto settlements. Here's everything you need to know.
How Sign-In Works
Multiple ways to sign in — no crypto knowledge required.
Google or Apple
Social login — no wallet extension needed
Sign in with email and password
WalletConnect
Connect an existing wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.)
Wallet connection is optional
Your Wallet
Connect an external crypto wallet (like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet) to enable crypto settlements.
deves.me never stores your private keys — your wallet is managed entirely by your wallet app.
Your wallet address (starts with 0x...) is visible on the Wallet page after you connect.
Your Private Key
Your private key is managed by your wallet app — deves.me never has access to it.
Open your wallet app
MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or whichever wallet you connected.
Find the export or backup option
Each wallet app has its own settings for revealing your private key or seed phrase.
Store it securely
Never share your private key or seed phrase with anyone.
Use your key anywhere
Wallet connection
What If deves.me Shuts Down?
Your funds and wallet exist independently of deves.me.
Export your key
Import into any wallet app to access your funds
Your wallet
Connected wallet stays yours — use it anywhere
Permanent records
On-chain settlements verifiable on Basescan
How Crypto Settlements Work
Pay debts with USDC — a digital dollar verified on-chain.
USDC is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar (1 USDC = $1), issued by Circle. Currently using Base Sepolia (testnet) — testnet USDC has no real value.
Create
Settlement record is created in the database with status 'pending'.
Transfer
You sign the USDC transfer in your wallet. Transaction is sent to the Base blockchain.
Persist
Transaction hash is saved to the database — even if your browser crashes, your payment is safe.
Verify
Our server verifies the transaction on-chain. Settlement auto-confirms — no manual approval needed.
Automatic verification
Supported Wallets
deves.me supports standard Ethereum wallets (EOA) for crypto settlements. Connect MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet.
