FidMarket Documentation

1. 1Open an active listing and choose Buy Now
2. 2Connect the wallet that will be used for the purchase
3. 3Enter the recovery address you want associated with the FID
4. 4Sign the requested Farcaster transfer authorization
5. 5Deposit the required payment into escrow
6. 6Wait for payment confirmation and any required seller authorization
7. 7Track the order while settlement completes
8. 8Verify the FID has moved to your wallet after settlement

• Confirm the FID number and listing details
• Confirm the wallet and recovery address you intend to use
• Review the total payment and any fees shown in checkout
• Make sure your wallet is on Optimism when requested

1. 1Connect the wallet that controls the FID
2. 2Open the sell flow and choose the FID to list
3. 3Set your price and review the listing details
4. 4Complete any requested authorization step
5. 5Publish the listing

A paid order may require a fresh seller authorization before the FID can be transferred. Open the order using the seller wallet and follow the action shown on the order page.

Do not manually transfer the FID outside the order flow while a paid order is in progress. Doing so can prevent normal settlement.

1. 1Buyer enters the offer amount and recovery address
2. 2Buyer signs the requested transfer authorization
3. 3Buyer approves and funds the WETH offer
4. 4The offer becomes available for the seller to review
5. 5Seller accepts or rejects the offer
6. 6An accepted funded offer becomes an order
7. 7The normal settlement process completes the FID transfer and payment release

Buyer actions must be completed with the wallet used as the buyer on the order, and seller actions must be completed with the seller wallet. If you connect a different wallet, the required action may not appear.

Authorizations have deadlines. If an order takes longer than the authorization window, you may be asked to refresh and sign a new authorization before settlement can continue.

Refreshing an authorization does not charge the buyer again. It only replaces an expired transaction permission with a fresh one.

1. 1Make sure you are connected with the original buyer wallet
2. 2Click Refresh buyer authorization
3. 3Review the refreshed transfer details
4. 4Sign the new authorization in your wallet
5. 5Return to the order page and wait for the seller or settlement step

• A buyer or seller authorization has expired
• A required signature is still missing
• The seller no longer controls the expected FID
• The receiving wallet is not eligible for the transfer
• Payment or escrow confirmation is still pending
• An on-chain transaction needs additional review

If an order enters a needs-review state, the automated flow is paused so the transaction can be checked before any further action is taken. This is a safety state, not automatically a failed or lost transaction.

Where available, account tools let an owner prepare and complete an FID transfer outside of a marketplace sale. The wallet must control the FID and any required recipient authorization must be completed.

Some account actions may be temporarily unavailable while an FID has an active listing, paid order, accepted offer, or settlement in progress. This helps prevent conflicts between account changes and a marketplace transaction.

Any marketplace fees that apply to a transaction are shown as part of the checkout or transaction flow before the relevant payment is submitted.

For escrowed Buy Now payments, a refund is returned according to the escrow terms for that order. In the current escrow flow, the refund destination is the original buyer wallet recorded when the payment was deposited.

A refund cannot be redirected to a different wallet after the deposit has already been made. If the original wallet is compromised or inaccessible, contact support before attempting a refund.

If an existing paid order only asks you to refresh an authorization, do not create a second checkout or send another payment. Refreshing a signature is separate from payment.

• Confirm you are on the normal order page rather than an unrelated page
• Confirm the connected wallet matches the buyer or seller on the order
• Refresh the page after reconnecting the wallet
• Make sure your wallet is on the requested network

If the order page offers a refresh action, use it and sign the new authorization. You will not be charged again for refreshing an authorization.

Do not create another order or send another payment. Keep the existing order ID and contact support so the current transaction can be reviewed safely.

On-chain FID ownership and what a Farcaster client displays can update at different times. Confirm the transaction status first, then allow time for client-side propagation where applicable.
