CryptoGigs: The Freelance Marketplace Where You Get Paid in Crypto
CryptoGigs is a non-custodial freelance marketplace where freelancers and clients transact in cryptocurrency with 2-of-3 multisig escrow protection. No banks, no chargebacks, no intermediaries.
CryptoGigs is a peer-to-peer freelance marketplace built into CoinExchange.Cash. Sellers list their services, buyers pay with any cryptocurrency on any supported chain, and funds are secured in a 2-of-3 multisig escrow until both parties agree the work is complete.
Why Freelance for Crypto?
Traditional freelance platforms charge 20-30% in fees, hold your money for weeks, and require bank accounts. For freelancers in countries with limited banking access, or anyone who prefers the speed and privacy of cryptocurrency, these platforms are a poor fit.
CryptoGigs solves this by connecting freelancers and clients directly, with payments in cryptocurrency and escrow protection via 2-of-3 multisig — the same battle-tested security model used for all transactions on CoinExchange.Cash.
The Problem with Traditional Platforms
| Issue | Traditional Platforms | CryptoGigs |
|---|---|---|
| Fees | 20-30% platform fee | Minimal escrow fee |
| Payment speed | 14-30 day hold | Instant on escrow release |
| Banking required | Yes | No — just a crypto wallet |
| Chargebacks | Buyers can reverse payments | Impossible with crypto |
| Global access | Limited by banking | Anyone with internet |
| Privacy | Full KYC required | Optional verification |
How CryptoGigs Works
For Freelancers (Sellers)
- Create a gig at /gigs/create — describe your service, set your price in USD, choose a delivery timeframe
- Receive orders — buyers select your gig and fund the escrow
- Deliver your work — upload files and mark the order as delivered
- Get paid — when the buyer approves, funds are released directly to your wallet
For Clients (Buyers)
- Browse gigs at /gigs — filter by category, price, and delivery time
- Place an order — select your crypto and chain, add requirements
- Fund the escrow — send crypto to the vault address
- Receive delivery — review the work, request revisions if needed, then approve
Escrow Protection
Every CryptoGigs transaction uses a 2-of-3 multisig escrow:
- Buyer holds one key
- Seller holds one key
- Arbitrator (CoinExchange) holds one key
Funds can only move when 2 of 3 keys agree. This means:
- The seller can't take the money without delivering
- The buyer can't take back the money after receiving good work
- If there's a dispute, the arbitrator mediates fairly
