How It Works

Three steps. Zero complexity.

Connect, engage, earn. That's the whole loop.

01
~30 seconds

Connect

Sign in to your email account. Your Gmail joins the deliverability network. We never see your password โ€” just an OAuth token you can revoke anytime from your account settings.

02
Always-on, fully managed

Engage

Your inbox engages with other participants on autopilot โ€” replies, opens, label organization, spam-folder rescues, important-flag corrections. Every action improves your sender reputation.

03
On-demand payouts

Earn

Earnings accrue in real time on your dashboard. Hit the minimum threshold, request a payout to your wallet. No lockups, no waiting periods.

How Engagement Works

Engagement is the signal.

Email providers like Gmail rank inbox quality by engagement signals โ€” who replies, who opens, who marks as important, who rescues from spam. The more genuine engagement an inbox produces and receives, the stronger its sender reputation.

Cheddar Inbox is a closed network of consenting participants engaging with each other to maintain those signals across the board. The network's health is your inbox's health. You earn rewards for every engagement your inbox performs.

Reward Tiers

Better inbox. Higher earnings.

Your inbox quality score โ€” based on account age, engagement history, and activity patterns โ€” determines your tier. Most established Gmail accounts start at Silver or Gold.

Bronze
Score 0 โ€“ 34

New or low-activity inboxes. Solid starting point โ€” most accounts level up within 30 days of activity.

Silver
Score 35 โ€“ 59

Established inboxes with consistent activity. Where most accounts land on day one.

Gold
Score 60 โ€“ 79

High-reputation inboxes with strong engagement history. Significantly higher earning rate.

HIGHEST TIER
Platinum
Score 80 โ€“ 100

Elite inboxes. Maximum capacity, maximum rewards. Usually aged accounts with years of activity.

Scores are recalculated daily. Quality improves organically as your inbox stays active on the network.

Real Users

People are actually earning.

โ€œSet it and forget it.โ€

Connected my Gmail account and genuinely forgot about it. Got a reward notification two weeks later. Setup took maybe 3 minutes total.

Small Business Owner
โ€œVisibility I couldn't get elsewhere.โ€

I manage email for multiple clients so inbox health is critical for me. Cheddar gives me visibility into deliverability metrics I couldn't get anywhere else.

Sarah K.
Email Marketing Consultant
โ€œSet-and-forget referral income.โ€

Referred my whole team. Once a few of them got connected, the 10% lifetime cut started showing up in my wallet on schedule. Set-and-forget income.

Under the Hood

Built on real infrastructure.

Not a toy project. Not a browser extension that scrapes data. Purpose-built infrastructure for email network economics.

Real Engagement Data

Every data point comes from genuine email interactions between real accounts. Opens, replies, thread depth โ€” all measurable, all real. No synthetic benchmarks or simulated traffic.

Quality Scoring Engine

Six dimensions: account age, message volume, geographic diversity, provider reputation, activity consistency, and network history. Your score isn't static โ€” it improves as your inbox stays active. Most accounts see score increases within 2-3 weeks.

Global Network

Real inboxes across 40+ countries contributing to email health data. The geographic diversity provides broad coverage for inbox quality monitoring and deliverability insights.

Instant Payouts

Rewards are tracked in real time on your dashboard. Withdraw anytime once you hit the minimum threshold. No lock-ups, no complicated mechanics. You earn rewards, you receive rewards.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

You connect your Gmail via secure OAuth โ€” we never see your password, full stop. Your inbox joins a closed network of consenting participants. We send and reply to engagement emails between participants on your behalf, organize those threads into a dedicated label, mark legitimate messages as important, rescue incorrectly filtered messages from spam, and archive processed threads. Every action improves your sender reputation and earns you rewards.

Free to join. No credit card, no subscription. The network is a closed system of consenting participants whose inboxes engage with each other to maintain and improve sender reputation. Your participation directly improves your own inbox quality score, and you earn rewards for the engagements your inbox performs.

Depends on your inbox quality and how many you connect. Most established Gmail accounts land at Silver or Gold tier out of the gate. Active participants running multiple inboxes earn faster. Fresh burner accounts start in Bronze and earn slower โ€” higher-quality inboxes earn more per engagement.

Earnings accrue on your dashboard. Once you hit the minimum payout threshold, you can request a payout to your wallet. No lockups, no waiting periods.

USDC stablecoin on the Polygon network. Polygon has no per-token setup fee, so real-time payouts work for everyone above the minimum threshold โ€” no need to hold any balance to unlock. You'll add a Polygon wallet address (MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) inside your dashboard once you sign up.

Yes. We use standard OAuth 2.0 โ€” you authenticate with your email provider directly, not with us. We never see or store your password. Your tokens are encrypted with AES-256 at rest. You can revoke access anytime from your account settings or your Cheddar Inbox dashboard.

Six things, all aimed at improving deliverability: (1) send and reply to engagement emails between verified network participants, (2) organize those threads into a dedicated label so your primary inbox stays clean, (3) mark legitimate messages as important to improve sorting accuracy, (4) rescue incorrectly filtered messages from the spam folder, (5) mark messages as read to reflect engagement, (6) archive processed engagement threads. Nothing else.

Each Gmail account is scored independently. If you have a legitimate reason to connect more than one account (e.g., separate work and personal inboxes), each earns at its own tier rate.

You get a unique referral link from your dashboard. When someone signs up through it, you earn a percentage of the rewards they generate, as long as they're active. One tier, no expiration.
