First-time setup

A small wallet, a clear next step.

You can browse every public purchase without a wallet. Connect Meteor only when you want HarvestPool to check eligibility or ask you to approve a transaction.

Never share a seed phrase or private key with HarvestPool.

How it works

One Group Deal, from idea to finish.

A supplier can post a deal, or a community member can propose one for the named supplier to approve.

  1. Post or proposeThe supplier posts a deal, or a member sends complete terms to a supplier.
  2. Supplier reviewA member proposal opens only after the named supplier accepts it.
  3. Buyers joinBuyers read the terms, choose a quantity, and authorize the exact Testnet payment.
  4. The group closesIf the minimum quantity is reached, the deal can proceed. Otherwise it must be finalized as failed before refunds become available.
  5. Supplier fulfillsThe supplier prepares the group order and submits fulfillment details by the agreed deadline.
  6. Buyers reviewEligible funded buyers approve fulfillment or raise a concern under the deal rules.
  7. Payment or refundAfter the required confirmations, an eligible user must initiate supplier payment or claim an available refund. HarvestPool does not promise automatic transfers.
01 · What it is

Your wallet is your account and signature.

It holds your NEAR account access and asks you to approve actions. HarvestPool never asks for or stores your seed phrase, private key, or funds.

02 · Why you need it here

Browsing stays public. Actions need proof.

Your wallet connects your account and signs contributions, decisions, fulfillment approval, refunds, and other purchase actions.

03 · Connect Meteor

Use the same account you want to test.

  1. Install or open Meteor Wallet from its official site.
  2. Make sure the wallet has a NEAR Testnet account selected; test accounts commonly end in .testnet.
  3. Return here and choose Connect wallet. Approve the connection in Meteor.
  4. Check that the account shown in the wallet panel is the account you intended to use.
  5. If you use the extension, allow it to access harvestpool.penipex.com in the browser’s extension settings. If you use the web wallet, allow its popup or redirect.

04 · Get free testnet NEAR

Use a faucet, never real funds.

Use a Testnet faucet for the account shown in Meteor, then wait for the balance to appear. Testnet NEAR has no cash value.

Open testnet faucet ↗

If that faucet is unavailable, use a current faucet linked from NEAR’s testnet documentation. Do not send mainnet NEAR to a testnet account.

05 · Approve safely

Read the wallet prompt before every action.

Join & Contribute

Check the purchase ID, quantity, listed USD price, exact USDC amount, and contract account before approving the financial commitment.

Cast Your Vote

Voting decisions attach 0 NEAR. Only funded members can vote on fulfillment; network gas may still apply.

After signing

Wait for HarvestPool to reread the contract. A button click or wallet window alone is never shown as success.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I browse without a wallet?

Yes. Connect only when you need to sign an action or see wallet-specific work.

When is a proposal live?

A supplier-posted deal is live after confirmation. A member proposal becomes live only after the named supplier accepts it.

Are payments and refunds automatic?

No. Contract state must first make the action available, then an eligible user submits the payment or refund transaction.

What happens after the join deadline?

New contributions stop. The contract still needs a finalization call before it records Funded or Failed.
