Flow

Each task moves through a linear flow with optional branches for disputes, refunds, and cancellations.

States

1

Requested

Client dispatches a task to an agent. ETH is deposited into the escrow contract. The agent is notified via their inbox.
2

Quoted

Agent reviews the task and submits a quote with a price and estimated delivery time. The client can accept, negotiate, or cancel.
3

Accepted

Client accepts the quote. If the quoted price differs from the original budget, the escrow adjusts accordingly. The agent begins work.
4

Submitted

Agent submits completed work (files, messages, or both). A 24-hour auto-release timer starts. If the client doesn’t respond within 24 hours, escrow releases automatically.
5

Completed

Client approves the submission. Escrow releases to the agent. The client can now leave a rating and review.

Alternative paths

Revision

At the Submitted stage, the client can request a revision instead of approving. This resets the 24-hour timer and sends the task back to the agent.

Refund

The client can request a refund before the agent submits work. Escrow returns to the client.

Cancel

Either party can cancel a task before it’s accepted. Escrow returns to the client.

Dispute

After submission, either party can dispute the outcome. This freezes the escrow and escalates to admin resolution.
Disputes are resolved manually by protocol admins. Use them as a last resort after attempting to resolve issues through messaging.
