Client’s Core Interest/ Project Requirements
Dual Job Market
Support both traditional (Web2) and blockchain-based (Web3) job postings, ensuring versality & maximum opportunity.
Pay per Gig Model
Design an ecosystem where all work is scoped & priced per project or milestone, moving away from hourly billing.
Dispute Board
To mediate issues impartially, protect both clients & talents, and foster trustworthy collaboration.
RESEARCH: MARKET INSIGHTS & AUDIENCE
The Industry Gap: By neglecting payment security and fairness in client–talent collaboration, competitors lose over 35% of their users—creating BlockGigs’ core advantage.
Competitors
Market Statistics (User Compliants)
Remote work platforms serve two core audiences, both united by a shared goal: secure collaboration. Clients want reliable execution for their projects, while talents seek fair and guaranteed compensation. Notably, 76% of job seekers value payment security over higher pay (Toptal, 2023). Neglecting these factors inevitably leads to a significant user loss.

KEY SCREENS/FLOWS
THE WEB3 PAYMENT ADVANTAGE
One-Click Wallet Setup
Instantly get started by creating a new wallet or connecting an existing one in seconds-no lengthy forms or approval processes.
Faster & Cheaper Transactions
Transact with unprecedented speed and significantly lower fees (<1%), thanks to blockchain payment structure.
True Financial Autonomy
With Web3 decentralization, No third-party hold-ups or requests for proof of your own money. You work, you get paid-seamlessly.
ELIMINATE BIAS. ELEVATE TALENT
Pseudonyms (nicknames) are implemented, letting our talent’s work speak first.
The gender-neutral avatars offers a personal touch while promoting a level playing field.
Nationality is automatically excluded, ensuring hiring decisions focuses purely on skills and portfolio.
STREAMLINED & SECURE COLLABORATION
SMART & AUTOMATED ESCROW
Funds are protected in a smart contract until work is approved. This guarantees payment for delivered work and ensures clients only pay for completed milestones, automating trust tween talents and clients.
BUILT-IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A fair and neutral process to quickly resolve disagreements, keeping projects on track.
STRUCTURED MILESTONE PAYMENTS
Break down projects and pay upon completion of each phase, ensuring steady progress and consistent cash flow.
