HotSkills is a prototype of a freelancing platform which stores it's data on blockchain.
Application deployed at https://aurora.hotskills.app, currently running on NEAR via Aurora. Smart Contract deployed to Aurora testnet at address 0xaD53f2EB80b0205675F445F4F524d3dF69f79eb9.
The idea of HotSkills was inspired by Verified Market Research, which says the freelance market size was valued at USD 3.8 billion in 2020. Growing at a CAGR of 15.02%, it is expected to grow to over USD 12 billion by 2028. I decided to promote mass adoption by attracting freelancers to the crypto industry. To attract freelancers into crypto I’m going to create a crypto freelancing platform with fast and secure payments guaranreed by smart contracts. Low fees. No middleman.
The platform allows users to earn crypto by executing paid tasks added by others or by promoting their own services. Two types of tasks are currently available: First Come First Serve - the first user who applied will be set as an assignee, Selected by Author - the task author can select an executor from the candidate list e.g. by their ratings or based on their profile info. The task author can request changes if they are unsatisfied with the result or open a dispute for third-party result verification - TBD. Users can create their profiles to provide more info for customers. Users can add, pause/resume, or delete their services. Others can request that services.
