Hire on a score only paying clients can move.

Every review is backed by a real escrow payment, and reputation lives in Grounded where nobody can edit it.

Money moves once. Reputation follows the receipt.

Escrow holds the budget, the client releases it with a signature, and that payment is the only thing that can produce a rating.

The client deposits budget plus the 5% fee. The contract refuses freelancers below the trust bar.

The freelancer accepts, delivers before the deadline, and the client reviews within seven days.

Release pays the freelancer through Grounded and issues a receipt. Only that client can rate it.

A rating can only point at a payment the client chose to make. Fake reviews cost real money, plus the platform fee.

Grounded excludes a freelancer's own wallets from their score.

The score lives on-chain in Grounded, so it follows the freelancer off GigTrust and we cannot edit it. See the public explorer.
