I’m working on a project called UnIQ Tasks, a decentralized task marketplace for developers and creators in the ICP ecosystem. The idea is to allow users to:
Post coding tasks, bug fixes, and UI improvements.
Claim tasks matching their skillset.
Use ICP smart contracts for escrow payments and task verification.
My goal is to create a trustless, transparent platform that encourages collaboration while contributing to the ICP ecosystem’s TVL.
I’d love your feedback on:
The platform’s core features: Are there any features you’d suggest adding or removing?
Pain points you’ve experienced in other freelance/task platforms that this could solve.
Any technical considerations or challenges you foresee with this approach?
Your insights will help refine this idea before I move forward with development and a grant application. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
What are your thoughts about how the task verification part would work? I can’t imagine any way of automating this in a generalisable way across different types of tasks, other than to have members of a DAO vote on whether the task was completed adequately (but depending on the type of task, verification may be almost as difficult as the task itself - such as confirming a complex bug fix).
I’m just thinking it’s possible to make token based reputation. For example if you release a lot of payments will collect a lot of tokens and people can trust to you by the number of tokens you have however you can make nonrefundable promises in an escrow but you can’t refund it if you have enough tokens by burning the tokens
A token-based reputation system could definitely foster trust on the platform. Linking reputation to the number of payments released and allowing users to burn tokens as a guarantee for nonrefundable promises sounds powerful.
It could create an incentive-driven ecosystem where responsible users naturally build credibility. I’m curious, do you see this working better as a reputation-only system or combined with some form of staking for added security?
