The Problem
Freelancer marketplaces today are plagued by high platform fees, trust issues between clients and workers, payment fraud, and poor dispute resolution systems. On traditional Web2 platforms, freelancers have little control over their identity, reputation, or earnings. Even in Web3, there’s often no standardized way to verify work history or resolve conflicts fairly.
The Idea
Create a blockchain-based freelance marketplace where users own their professional identity, get paid securely, and resolve disputes transparently through community governance.
Intended Target Audience
General Users & Everyday People, Developers & Builders, Brands & Businesses, Organisations & Institutions
How LUKSO Solves This
LUKSO provides the building blocks to power a next-gen freelance platform:
- Universal Profiles give every freelancer and client a verifiable digital identity that stores their portfolio, reputation, and job history — all onchain and fully owned by the user. No more rebuilding your profile from scratch on every new platform.
- Secure Payments with Smart Contracts ensure that funds are only released when work is completed, protecting both parties from fraud or ghosting.
- DAO-Based Governance lets the community vote on disputes through a decentralized process. Instead of relying on a centralized support team, LUKSO’s infrastructure enables fair and transparent conflict resolution.
- Low Fees, High Transparency: With no middlemen taking cuts, and with all transactions and reputations verifiable on the blockchain, trust becomes a built-in feature — not a problem to solve.
Thanks to LUKSO, freelancers finally get a professional home onchain, where their identity and reputation are portable, secure, and community-verified.
