Problem

Home · Top · Table of Contents

Freelance work often requires one party to trust the other before payment or delivery is complete. TrustLedger puts escrow, work submission, dispute resolution, and reputation updates on-chain so participants can follow a deterministic process.

Implemented System

Home · Top · Table of Contents

TrustLedger includes:

  • Escrow proposals initiated by either the freelancer or client.
  • Encrypted pre-deployment contract drafting with Markdown/HTML/plain-text terms, wallet allowlists, separate session keys, snapshot sharing, and optional plaintext-blind live rooms.
  • Native-token and allowlisted ERC-20 escrow.
  • Work submission, approval, warranty holdback, and deadline claims.
  • Juror staking, committee selection, commit-reveal voting, appeals, rewards, and slashing.
  • Participant ratings and recovery tracking.
  • A Next.js frontend with wallet connection, email flows, notifications, i18n, and file upload support.
