​
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.
