How ChainLancer Works

A simple guide to using our decentralized freelancing platform - no crypto expertise required

What is ChainLancer?

ChainLancer is a freelancing platform that uses blockchain technology to create a more secure, instant, transparent, and fair experience for both clients and freelancers. Think of it as a traditional freelancing site, but with instant payments via POL on Polygon, enhanced security, and significantly reduced fees. The platform can be accessed globally by anyone with a supported crypto wallet, eliminating traditional payment barriers.

Enhanced Security

Your payments are held securely in a smart contract that only releases funds when work is approved.

No Middleman

Work directly with clients or freelancers without a traditional middleman taking large commissions.

Global Access

Work with anyone, anywhere in the world, with reduced fees and faster payments.

Simple Process

Why Choose ChainLancer?

ChainLancer offers significant advantages over traditional freelancing platforms, creating a better experience for both clients and freelancers.

ChainLancer vs Traditional Freelancing Platforms

Lower Fees

With only a 2.88% platform fee compared to 10-20% on traditional platforms, more of your budget goes toward talent and work rather than platform costs.

Guaranteed Payments

Smart contracts automatically hold funds in escrow and release them when work is approved, eliminating payment disputes and ensuring freelancers always get paid.

Transparent History

All transactions and reviews are recorded on the blockchain, creating a tamper-proof record of work history that builds trust between parties.

Faster Transactions

Payments are processed instantly when work is approved, without the days-long waiting periods typical of traditional payment processors.

Global Access

Cryptocurrency payments allow talent from anywhere to participate, without the banking limitations that often restrict global freelancers.

Fair Dispute Resolution

Our blockchain-based system provides clear evidence of agreements and deliverables, making dispute resolution more objective and fair.
