A fully decentralised system that tracks user activity from account creation
to the latest action, known as the Proof of Work.
User activity is automatically and permanently recorded on-chain in real time, based
on their work and decisions. Decentralization provides data portability and long-term persistence.
On Algolancer, user's proof of work is associated with their Algorand address rather than their
account or profile. Even if a user changes, deletes, or modifies their account,
their work history and project activity remain permanently stored on the blockchain.
This ensures that reputation is transparent, verifiable, and independent of any
centralized authority or database.
Powered by an Intel advanced algorithm to generate a global feedback score, freelancer's Proof of Work represents their intrinsic value on Algolancer, continuously and automatically updated in real time based on verified onchain activity, to ensure a tamper-resistant measure of performance across all freelancers on the platform.
A freelancer's global proof of work represents a verifiable summary of their professional
activity on Algolancer, combining their overall feedback score (/5), the cumulative value
of projects they have contributed to, and their total earnings across the platform.
These metrics are derived exclusively from immutable on-chain records, and they cannot be
manipulated or selectively omitted, providing a trustworthy measure of a freelancer's
reputation and experience.
In addition, every contract associated with the freelancer remains permanently accessible
for verification, allowing clients to review their work history and outcomes before
making hiring decisions.
A client's global proof of work serves as a transparent record of their activity
and credibility on Algolancer. It reflects the total number of projects they have
launched, the cumulative number of contracts formed with freelancers, and the total
amount spent throughout the platform.
By deriving these metrics exclusively from immutable on-chain records, Algolancer
delivers a transparent and verifiable representation of a client's hiring activity,
investment in talent, and long-term engagement with the marketplace.
Furthermore, every project published by the client remains permanently accessible for
public review, including its requirements, budget, associated contracts, and outcomes.
This enables freelancers to evaluate a client's history of engagements, and make
informed decisions before committing their time and expertise.
Together, these records establish a transparent foundation of trust, allowing both clients
and freelancers to assess one another through immutable and transparent data.
A project's proof of work provides a comprehensive and verifiable overview of its
entire lifecycle on Algolancer. It consolidates all essential project information,
including its model (milestone-based or ongoing hourly project), work unit budget,
allocated funding, total number of applicants, all associated contracts, and other
key metrics that characterize the project's activity.
Since every data point is derived directly from immutable on-chain records,
the project's PoW serves as an accurate, tamper-resistant representation of its state
from creation to completion.
Beyond summarizing project-level metrics, every contract established under the project
remains permanently recorded and publicly accessible on the blockchain. Freelancers
clients, and third parties can inspect each contract in detail, including its participants,
agreed terms, and other associated events.
This permanent audit trail promotes complete transparency, enables independent verification
of every project created on the platform, and preserves the work's history as a trustworthy
public record that cannot be altered or selectively concealed.
