CraftLink is a decentralized marketplace that connects artisans and informal workers with global job opportunities and secure payments. Designed for borderless collaboration, CraftLink combines elegant UX with blockchain-based guarantees for trust, transparency, and ownership.
Built using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and smart contracts on Lisk, CraftLink supports gasless transactions and on-chain portfolios, giving artisans full control of their digital reputation and income.
- Job Listings – Clients can post gigs; artisans apply based on skills and availability.
- Secure Escrow Payments – Smart contracts hold funds and release upon job completion.
- Artisan Profiles – Showcase portfolios, completed gigs, reviews, and ratings.
- On-Chain Verification – Transactions and deliverables are recorded using Merkle trees for transparency and future-proof proof-of-work.
- Gasless Transactions – Integrated meta-transactions allow users to interact without paying gas directly.
- Seamless UI – Built with React + Tailwind CSS for responsive and user-friendly design.
- Wallet Integration – Connect with MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or WalletConnect to manage on-chain gigs.
