01Trust
Privacy and trust are the product.
WaitLayer is built to measure sponsor delivery without collecting the private work developers do in their terminal. A hard boundary sits between WaitLayer and everything you do — enforced before any data leaves your machine.
Never collected
Blocked before anything leaves your machine.

Allowlist
A short, fixed allowlist — describes the ad, not the work.
Install ID
Agent type
Surface type
Client version
Eligible display duration
Sponsor impression ID
Click event
Coarse region
Payout account status
Fraud-review signals
The allowlist is enforced in the client. If a field is not on it, it is never assembled into a payload.

03No editor patching
No third-party bundle patching.
WaitLayer uses official integration points, local status-line commands, hooks, and wrappers where available. It does not modify third-party editor bundles to inject sponsor surfaces.
Ad disclosure
If a message is sponsored, it says so.
- Every sponsor line is clearly labeled
- No hidden endorsements
- No disguised recommendations
- No unlabeled native ads
- No misleading sponsor placement
04Legal & compliance
The full policy set.
Some payout methods may require identity, tax, sanctions, wallet-risk, or compliance checks. Availability may vary by region.
