Crypto freelance marketplace (CryptoGigs)
CryptoGigs on /gigs connects buyers and sellers of freelance services paid in cryptocurrency. Listings describe deliverables, timelines, and accepted assets. Eligible orders can use 2-of-3 multisig escrow and the platform dispute process — confirm the live order state before you fund.
How CryptoGigs works
Sellers publish gigs with scope, price, delivery time, and accepted crypto. Buyers place orders through the gig detail page, fund escrow when the route supports it, and communicate via in-app chat.
Milestones or single-delivery gigs depend on how the seller structured the listing. Read deliverables carefully; subjective creative work can lead to disputes if expectations are not documented in the order thread.
Reputation scores, completion rates, and reviews help assess sellers but are not guarantees. Start with smaller orders when working with a new counterparty.
Escrow and delivery
When escrow is enabled for the selected asset, buyer funds lock in multisig custody until the buyer releases or a dispute resolves. Sellers should not begin expensive work until escrow funding is confirmed in the UI.
Delivery proofs — files, links, or messages — should be uploaded to the order chat. If delivery fails or quality is disputed, either party can open a dispute per /help/cryptogigs-disputes.
Off-platform payments bypass escrow protections. CoinExchange.Cash cannot recover funds sent outside the order flow.
Verification and fees
Wallet connection or account sign-in is required for orders. Higher volumes or risk signals may trigger additional verification steps shown in settings.
Platform fees, network fees, and FX exposure depend on the crypto chosen. The order breakdown shows amounts before you confirm.

Compared with traditional freelance platforms
Mainstream freelance marketplaces often hold fiat in platform balances and enforce chargebacks through payment processors. CryptoGigs settles in cryptocurrency with multisig escrow on eligible routes — chargeback protections of card networks do not apply.
Global fiat platforms may require extensive KYC for payouts. CoinExchange.Cash uses activity-dependent verification; requirements can be lighter for small wallet-first orders but are not absent.
Centralized talent pools curate supply; CryptoGigs is peer-listed. Quality varies; diligence is the buyer’s responsibility.
Freelance marketplace risks
