FAQs
-
How is PeerHire different from traditional freelance platforms?
PeerHire uses blockchain-backed smart contracts, a no-connects system, student-first pricing, and AI-matching to deliver faster, safer and fairer gigs for everyone. -
Is PeerHire only for students?
We're student-first, not student-only. PeerHire is designed to empower students with real-world gigs, but we also welcome graduates and early professionals who want flexible, skill-based work. -
How does the blockchain system protect me as a freelancer or client?
Our blockchain-based smart contracts lock payments in escrow, track deliverables via milestones, and guarantee release only after verified completion—no ghosting, no scams, just pure trustless transactions. -
Do I need crypto to use PeerHire?
No. You can pay and get paid in INR or fiat; the smart contracts and wallet stuff run invisibly under the hood. It's Web3 without the headaches. -
Is PeerHire free to use?
Totally free for students to sign up, browse, and apply. We only charge a tiny fee (much lower than Upwork or Fiverr) after a project is successfully completed.
