How FreddyWorks works

FreddyWorks is a borderless freelancing platform where every project is milestone-based and every payment settles in USDC on the Polygon network. Here is the full workflow from posting a project to releasing final payment.

For clients

Post a project. Describe the work, set a budget range, and break it into milestones with due dates. No project is fixed-price — the total budget always equals the sum of its milestones.
Receive proposals. Freelancers submit proposals with their bid, timeline and any counter-milestones. Message any applicant directly before deciding.
Accept a proposal. Acceptance atomically creates a contract, syncs terms, and rejects competing proposals.
Fund the milestone. Top up your in-platform USDC balance via ATLOS (Polygon), then fund the first milestone into escrow. Escrow is locked per milestone, not per project.
Review and release. When the freelancer delivers, you have 3 days to approve, request a revision, or dispute. Approval releases the escrow instantly. No response within 3 days triggers auto-release.

For freelancers

Browse projects and apply. Send one proposal per project with your bid and milestone breakdown.
Start work once the client funds the milestone. Deadlines are measured from the funding moment, not from proposal acceptance.
Submit delivery. Attach evidence and a delivery note (minimum 40 characters) — this starts the client's 3-day review clock.
Get paid on release. On approval or auto-approval, 90% of the milestone lands in your in-platform USDC balance. Withdraw to any Polygon USDC wallet at any time above the minimum payout.

Disputes and appeals

Either party can file a dispute within 7 days of milestone delivery. Our administrators (with AI assistance) issue a binding decision. After an AI-assisted decision, there is a 168-hour (7 day) window to appeal for human-only review. The losing side pays a 5% dispute fee.
