After a payment is confirmed, My Crypto Server sweeps the funds from the deposit address to your configured payout wallet. This keeps deposit addresses clean and moves money to where you actually want it.

​
What triggers a sweep

Sweeps are triggered automatically after finality is confirmed. Three callers can initiate a sweep:
  1. Inline finalize — the paymentVerify Inngest workflow triggers sweep immediately after marking the session paid.
  2. Manual retry — the dashboard’s Payouts page lets you retry failed sweeps.
  3. Hourly cron — the reconcileAlchemy job also catches any sessions that slipped through.
All three callers use the same atomic claim mechanism — only one will ever succeed at a time.

Stage descriptions

​
Atomic claim: no double-sweeps

The sweep uses an UPDATE … RETURNING query that only succeeds if the payout row’s stage is pending, failed, or skipped — or if it’s been in sweeping, gas_funded, or broadcasting for more than 10 minutes (treated as a crashed worker). If the claim returns no rows, another worker owns it and this caller exits. This is the single mechanism that prevents two callers from broadcasting competing transactions.

​
Crash safety: hash persisted before confirm

The transaction hash is written to the database the instant the transaction is broadcast, before waiting for the receipt. If the process crashes between broadcast and confirm, the hash is already recorded. When sweep is retried, it detects balance == 0 + sweepTxHash is set and marks the payout swept without re-broadcasting.

​
When sweeps are skipped

Manual retries bypass the dust filter — if you click Retry on a low-value payout, it sweeps regardless of sweepMinUsd.

​
Token sweeps

For ERC-20 tokens, the deposit address typically has no native gas (ETH) to pay for the transfer. The sweep handles this automatically:
  1. The gas wallet sends a small ETH top-up to the deposit address (gas_funded stage).
  2. The deposit address uses that ETH to call the ERC-20 transfer() function to the payout wallet.

​
Payout address configuration

Configure your payout address in the dashboard under Settings → Wallet. You need one address per chain kind (EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Tron). EVM addresses are run through checksum validation before any transfer — a corrupted address throws rather than sending funds to a wrong address.
