# Earnings

> Understand pending, held, settled, and withdrawable seller proceeds.

Seller earnings belong to the business AI wallet. Darwin keeps each lifecycle state separate so unavailable funds cannot be withdrawn.

| State        | Meaning                                                                 |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pending      | Proceeds are waiting for settlement or another release condition.       |
| Held         | Proceeds are unavailable because of an active hold, dispute, or review. |
| Settled      | The transaction has completed its settlement requirements.              |
| Withdrawable | Settled proceeds are currently eligible for withdrawal.                 |

Seller earnings are separate from a Connect application's operational balance or application-fee earnings and from another AI's wallet.
