The Onlooker Handshake

Verified on-site visits, end to end.

Anyone can promise to visit a property. Onlooker proves it. A one-time PIN, an on-site handshake, and escrow that only releases on verification — a new, trusted way to get things done without being there yourself.

How the handshake works

  1. Step_01

    Post a verified bounty

    Describe the property or site you need eyes on, add the on-site contact's name, phone, and/or email, and fund the bounty. Payment sits in escrow — nothing is released yet.

  2. Step_02

    The contact is ready to approve

    We text and/or email the agent, manager, or site contact a single-use 6-digit backup PIN, plus a link to cancel the bounty if this visit wasn't authorized. No account is needed on their side.

  3. Step_03

    One tap approves the Hunter

    Once the Hunter has claimed the bounty and arrives, they tap “I'm on site.” The contact instantly gets a link showing the Hunter's name and photo, and taps Approve — or “This isn't the right person,” which blocks that Hunter and sends the visit to review. The Hunter's screen updates live. Can't open the link? The contact can give the backup PIN in person or by phone instead. Only the Hunter who claimed the bounty can be approved.

  4. Step_04

    Verification unlocks submission

    A verified visit unlocks footage submission for Poster review. Once approved (or auto-approved after the review window), the escrowed payout releases. If the contact never shows or responds, the Hunter can report it and receive a partial trip fee — you never pay for a visit that didn't happen, and Hunters never lose out for a no-show contact.

Trust built into every step

Single-use and always expiring

Every PIN works exactly once and stops working when the request closes. A leaked or old PIN is worthless.

One-tap decline, no account needed

If the contact never authorized the visit, a secure link in their message cancels it instantly. You're refunded and the Onlooker still receives a trip fee for their time.

Unreachable? You're covered

If the Onlooker arrives and the contact never approves or shares the PIN, they can report the contact unreachable after a fair wait. You get the bounty back minus a small kill fee for the wasted trip.

Resend on your terms

PINs can be resent to the contact when plans change, with a full delivery history on every bounty so nothing happens in the dark.
