Pitch Deckboundless.trustlesswork

The Problem

Trust in the gig economy
is broken.

Nigerian freelancers struggle with wage theft and delayed payments, while clients fear incomplete or low-quality work. Traditional escrow is slow, expensive, and inaccessible for everyday gigs.

The Architecture

Non-custodial.
Milestone-driven.

Job & Milestones
Client Deposits USDC
Clients post jobs with defined milestones. Total USDC is locked securely in a Soroban smart contract via Trustless Work.
Delivery & Approval
On-Chain Release
Freelancer submits work. Upon client approval, XDR is signed via Freighter wallet, releasing USDC instantly.
Dispute Resolution
Fair Arbitration
If issues arise, an independent resolver steps in to adjudicate and route funds fairly, leveraging on-chain transparency.
