About
The problem it solves Limited Access to Work Opportunities – Many freelancers struggle to find job offers, and businesses often face difficulty in sourcing reliable talent. The platform connects clients and talents seamlessly. Lack of Secure Payments & Escrow Systems – Traditional freelance platforms sometimes suffer from payment fraud or disputes. With blockchain integration, funds are securely held in escrow until job completion. Centralized Control in Freelance Marketplaces – Existing freelance marketplaces are controlled by corporations that dictate terms. Worklob decentralizes work contracts using blockchain to ensure transparency. High Fees on Traditional Platforms – Freelancers often lose significant earnings due to platform fees. By leveraging the Base blockchain, costs are minimized with Base blockchain low fee. Absence of AI-Powered Work Enhancements – Many freelancers lack efficient tools to automate tasks or optimize workflow. Integrating AI services provides productivity boosts and smarter solutions. Slow or Unreliable Transaction Confirmations – Traditional platforms rely on third-party payment systems, which can delay transactions. Blockchain ensures instant, secure payments. Limited Security & Transparency in Transactions – Traditional freelance platforms can have hidden terms or opaque transactions. Blockchain ensures every transaction is publicly verifiable and immutable. Complexity in Trading & Financial Accessibility – Many users struggle with trading assets or accessing financial services. Our AI trading agents and decentralized lending solutions simplify these processes. Inefficient Job Reward Systems – Our project introduces Job Mining, allowing users to earn rewards by staking LOB tokens, incentivizing engagement and platform success. Inability to Monetize AI Microservices Efficiently – Small, specialized services often lack ways to charge fractional amounts for usage. Our platform introduces micropayments, allowing precise and fair pricing.

How it's made
Challenges we ran into While building on Base Blockchain, I faced key challenges, especially integrating on-chain smart wallets. Finding the right approach was difficult due to multiple libraries, but Wagmi proved best for React. A major issue is writeContracts in Wagmi (import { useWriteContracts, useCapabilities } from "wagmi/experimental";) it resolves transaction on submission instead of when mined on-chain. This causes my Escrow Service & AI Agent Approval to falsely assume transaction completion. and trigger the Escrow and AI prematurely. Though wallet pop-ups work, and data updates on-chain as user confirm transaction. To solve this, I’m exploring: Polling mechanisms to track transaction mining status. Event listeners for real-time transaction updates. Collaboration with Base teams for better smart wallet integration. Also, We need to deploy to mainnet to test our Crypto ATM card. We are constrained of cash to get the company incorporated, deploy mainnet, partner with fintech company and get few ATM card for test. We are also currently facing slow server loading due to free backend services we are utilizing.
