🔥 Your Pitch

In today's scenario, freelancers face a lot of risks and unsureness. Difficulty in finding new projects, unsureness about payment and clients changing requirements midway are some of them. Freelancing Hubs exist which aim to curb some of these issues but the problem with them is that they charge a high fee and tend to favour clients more as they are their source of income.

What LancerSquare aims to provide and several ways Blockchain can help:

• A network where freelancers and clients can contact each other directly
• Decentralisation means greater transparency and no one has unfair power
• No middleman to charge fees
• Better sureness about fee payments through Smart Contracts
• Clients can not change requirements midway
• Integrated payment system ensuring easier and faster payments

It will be platform where clients can upload their projects which freelancers can browse through and pick up. Before a project is assigned, the client will have to deposit the promised reward in form of cryptocurrency in a smart contract. After a project is assigned, any changes to the contract can be done only if it is authorised by both the sides. Different checkpoints can be incorporated in the smart contract for progression based rewards (which can also help in disputes arising due to human subjectivity about quality of work). This leads to a more transparent and trustful system for everyone.
