ChainEpic

A separate business: backlinks and content distribution. The catalog and articles stay on that site.

The order

A backlink marketplace for high-quality placements

Roland · 2 Nov 2026

ChainEpic is my marketplace for guest posts and directory placements. This note follows one order: what the price includes, which clock starts when, and what you can check when it ends.

Two doors on the homepage

The homepage puts a catalog next to a Launchpad. The catalog sells one placement on one site. The Launchpad sells a bundle of directory submissions when you would rather not pick rows.

You can open the catalog without a subscription. Domains in that public table are masked. After you sign in, the full domain is visible. Before the name is visible, a row can still be filtered by niche, Ahrefs DR, and monthly organic traffic. The row also marks that the article is included, so the price on it is the price with the draft.

The articles and the rest of the catalog stay on ChainEpic. This page is the walkthrough of an order.

Three clocks on a guest post

You pick a site and send one target URL and one anchor. The price on that row includes an English article of about 1,000 words, so the order is the placement and the draft together. A niche edit is a different line in the same market: a link added to a page that already exists. The clocks below belong to the guest post, which is the line whose article and deadlines are written out on the site.

Payment sits in escrow. It is released when the publisher has put up a live dofollow URL and that URL has been checked.

The first clock is the turnaround printed for a single guest post, about two to five days, the range in the TAT column. The second clock is the grace on top of that window. If the publisher has not published within the promised time plus 48 hours, the order is refunded or swapped for another placement. The third clock starts when the link is live, not when you pay. For 12 months after publication, a dropped link, a link that never gets indexed, or a link that switches to nofollow is replaced with a placement of equal or higher DR, under the rule printed on ChainEpic.

Read a row that says three days this way. The grace runs through the end of the fifth day. The 12-month replacement does not start on the day the payment is held. It starts on the day the live URL is in the sheet.

The bundle, when you skip the rows

The homepage offers a Launchpad for a new site at $99. The page describes that offer as more than 60 directory submissions and a delivery sheet within 7 days. Checkout on the site can be Stripe, or USDT at the 5% discount the page states. The other bundles keep their prices on chainepic.com.

What you carry out

You leave with a live URL on the delivery sheet, or with the payment returned. The homepage also prints counters for sites in the catalog, placements delivered, and average DR. Those counters stay on the ChainEpic homepage. Here, the result of an order is the URL you can open, or the refund.

On the publisher side of the same order, you set the price and you accept or reject the brief. Payout is in dollars or in USDT. The buyer sees the live URL in the report. That report is the moment the domain becomes a page they can open, which is later than the masked row they saw while logged out.

Which briefs get through

The published scope is AI, SaaS, developer tools, crypto, tech, marketing, and ecommerce. Casino, adult, CBD and pharma, and essay-mill briefs are refused.

Bring a target page and an anchor when the price on the row is the thing you came for. Choosing an unlisted site, negotiating a private fee, and writing the article yourself stay on your side of the desk. ChainEpic's side is the listed price, the included draft, the escrow release, and the live URL.
