Existing marketplaces take 15–20% of your earnings, hide dispute processes behind closed doors, and reward those with the most reviews, not the best work. Early-career professionals get buried, disputes drag on, and payments are delayed or lost.

PeerHire flips this model with fiat onboarding, on-chain enforcement, open dispute resolution, and portable reputation. Every payment, verdict, and rating is verifiable.

We’ve completed the white paper (peerhire.in/whitepaper.pdf), built the IdentityContract, prototyped ERC-4337 wallet abstraction, and finalized pUSDC design. We also have an active waitlist at peerhire.in early professionals and freelancers ready to use the platform when v1 launches.

pUSDC: Synthetic Stable Accounting

• Fiat deposits via compliant gateways mapped 1:1 to pUSDC.

• Non-transferable outside the protocol, it exists purely to guarantee settlement.

• Mint/burn events reconciled with backend confirmations.

• Zero exposure to crypto volatility.

Wallet-less UX: ERC-4337

• Users are onboard with social/OAuth login.

• The smart contract wallet is deployed counterfactually only on the first funded transaction.

• Gas is sponsored by bundlers; there are no seed phrases or gas fees for users.

pJustice: Decentralized Dispute Adjudication

• Escrow freezes automatically when disputes are raised.

• Skill-matched jurors selected from JurorPoolContract.

• Jurors stake pUSDC and vote via commit-reveal, with quadratic weighting.

• AI summarizes evidence; the verdict executes escrow release/refund on-chain.

• Juror performance is tied to rewards/slashing.

Reputation & Identity Primitives

• IdentityContract stores verifiable metadata (hashed off-chain).

• Non-transferable badges (SBTs) for verified skills.

• ReputationContract stores skill-tagged ratings tied to paid milestones.

• Data is immutable and portable across projects.

Governance: PJDAO

• Reputation-weighted proposals, quadratic voting.

• Admin keys in early phase; transitions to DAO control.

// IdentityContract
function registerUser(address user, string metadataHash);
function verifyUser(address user, bytes verificationProof);
function mintBadge(address user, string badgeType);

// ProjectAgreementContract
function createProject(bytes32 projectId, address client, address freelancer, uint256[] milestones);
function acceptProject(bytes32 projectId);
function markMilestoneComplete(bytes32 projectId, uint256 milestoneIndex);

// EscrowContract
function depositFunds(bytes32 projectId, uint256 milestoneIndex, uint256 amount);
function releaseFunds(bytes32 projectId, uint256 milestoneIndex);
function freezeFunds(bytes32 projectId, uint256 milestoneIndex);

// DisputeResolution / pJustice
function raiseDispute(bytes32 projectId, uint256 milestoneIndex);
function submitEvidence(bytes32 projectId, string ipfsHash);
function triggerJuryVote(bytes32 projectId);

Designs for all contracts are detailed in the white paper.

• pUSDC safety: mint/burn halts on reconciliation failure.

• Juror integrity: staking + slashing + performance history to reduce collusion.

• Vote security: commit-reveal + quadratic weighting to prevent manipulation.

• Wallet safety: session keys, guardians, nonce tracking, and relayer-based bundling to avoid front-running.

Use of funds:

• Final development & testnet deployment (escrow, juror flow): 40%

• pUSDC liquidity vault & fiat gateway integration: 30%

• Security audit & formal verification: 20%

• Launch community & juror onboarding: 10%

Your contribution will directly help us complete PeerHire v1 and bring fair, verifiable freelance work to early professionals.

You can also join the waitlist to be among the first to use the platform when v1 launches.

Freelance work is shifting younger and more global. Blockchain tools and ERC-4337 make it possible to combine fiat onboarding with verifiable, on-chain enforcement. The opportunity to prove this model is now before another centralized giant locks it down.

We’re not raising from VCs.

This is founder-led, community-backed, and built in public. If you believe in a fair, transparent, and portable reputation for early-career professionals, back PeerHire today.
